I'm staying in for the next two days. The BBC ticker at the bottom of my screen has put the fear into me because it says Flood Fears Over Wet Weekend Flood Fears Over Wet Weekend Flood Fears Over Wet Weekend and that sort of weather does no end of harm to a blow dry and a pair of tights. I have a good excuse to stay in now, though, because I have 73 (seventy three) channels on the telly thanks to good old Telewest. I get to watch the Power Puff Girls on the Cartoon Network and then catch the repeat half an hour later on Cartoon Network +1. On Saturday AND Sunday. I also get to laugh at musical indoor Christmas fountains on QVC. I still haven't had enough of QVC. My favourite presenter is the lady who does the jewellery. She has such dainty, thin wrists! The BBC ticker also keeps saying Wear The Parts On Your Sleeve Wear The Parts On Your Sleeve at me but it looks like Wear The Pants On Your Sleeve, which would be an interesting fashion statement, no? I prefer to see pants on heads though. It's an old chestnut and a classic at the same time. So, can I take it that you're all either (a) without sound cards or (b) waiting to hear the full version of the Come song before you pass judgement? If you deleted my last email, which you should have done because it was a load of old cobblers, I'll repeat that 30 seconds of Belle & Sebastian's Latest Recording (!!!!!) is on the Xfm website, which I think is at http://www.xfm.co.uk Yep, just tested the link. Who voted for Ralph Nader? Come on, fess up. If you lot had just gone and voted for Gore, this whole election fussy business wouldn't have happened* and I wouldn't have to listen to details of how Bush is ahead by 1,775 votes in Florida, but the Press Association's independent research says the margin may be as little as 229 votes but we're still waiting for the postal votes Every Darn Morning on my radio! You pesky people. My BBC ticker has just told me that everybody in Europe is descended from ten men, which means that a lot of you are related to me, you poor people. The BBC don't mention any ladies being involved in the whole ancestry thing, which either means that (a) their research isn't very thorough or (b) men can have babies if they really, really try. I'm bored. I'm sorry. Juicy Lucy *Possibly. I don't actually have statistical evidence to back up this theory. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Thousands of Stores.
