I am drunk but failed to say anything silly or embarrassing, which was disappointing, as I thought it was the whole
Apparently my name is appearing in people's inbox's as 'nicolson ian', which is somewhat distrubing as I have no idea why this has happened and people may now think that I have a back-to-front name, like Little John or Wyndham Lewis or someone. I shall have to try to rectify this. Or maybe I should adopt it as a cunning pseudonym. Given away free (whoo-hoo!) with this weeks supposedly soon to be defunct Sunday Herald was one of these student guides which appear in their hundreds around this time of year. Interspersed throughout it were little pieces by various movers and shakers recommending places to visit in the teeming metropolis' (metropeli?) of Glasgow, Edinburgh and, er, Stirling. Featured in the Glasgow section was our very own Stuart, so in an attempt to break with tradition and actually post something relevant to Belle & Sebastian (who?), and because it's quite short, I've decided to type it out for y'all. Aren't I kind? So, for all you young hipsters new to Glasgow, or indeed any long-time denizens of that fair city who fancy trying out the wild, wild lifestyle of an international rock 'n' roller, here it is! ---------------------- INSIDER INSIGHT Even sensitive indie pop stars need to cut loose once in a while. Stuart Murdoch of Belle and Sebastian tells us how he goes about it. **Firhill 7-a-side Pitches** 'When I die I would like my ashes to be scattered here on the artificial turf where they would blend in with the plastic sand.' **Glasgow Cathedral 6.30pm Sunday** 'House music is as dead as dead. Most clubs are boring beyond belief. Try something different. Something meaningful! Get back to church! Afterwards you can take someone you fancy up the Necropolis.' **Fratelli Sarti** 'Mamma mia! Drink a litre of house red and see where the evening takes you.' --------------------------------- Well, I for one know where I'll be visiting on my next trip west! Idleberry, who appears to have reverted to her maiden name, slurred: point of posting when worse for wear. Try better next time! On occasion I have considered posting whilst, uh, tired and emotional, but have thankfully always managed to refrain. I can only imagine it would be by turns hilarious and tragic. In a totally unintentional fashion. Actually, it would probably be more coherent than many of my posts! Still no sign of 'The Stars...' being used in the BBC's Olympic coverage, just some horrible M People nonsense. I live in hope! Lurve Ian N. (or N.Ian, or even Nicolson I., I guess) ____________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
