Eep!, what a scary thought, finally opening my too big mouth and saying something. Well, I suppose I would have tried earlier, if it hadnt taken me 3 months to figure out how to work it. How appropriate that the last post before I broke my silence (by Madeliene) was on the subject of flares. After my first year here in sunny St Andrews, I just didnt feel like a student, so I too invested in a wonderful pair of stupidly flared green chords. Man, these things are just fine, it makes you look like you are floating down the street, cos your feeties are hidden under large raggedy areas of dirty green cordurouy. Here unfortunatley, most people are attempting to look like a Calvin Klein home shopping catalogue, with baseball caps, puffa body warmers and overly tight jeans the order of the day, topped off with a ridiculously large pastel coloured scarf (Pashmina dahling) and some designer underwear hitched up so that I can see where your pants come from when I walk behind you down the street. That is of course, if you havent joined the 'alternative' bat-biters or skateboarders of the "deviant noise society". Gigantic jeans hanging round your arse with the aid of a piece of bike chain are standard issue there, along with a Linkin Park hooded top. Anyway, I'm a fine one to talk, im just a scruff with an obsession for chords. Its nice talking to yous, one of these days I'll pluck up the courage to say something else. Peace, love and kings of convenience all round, Andy X P.S, round our way a Snakebite is called diesel, and you can get it up to a Turbo-diesel by putting a shot of vodka in. Of course, none of that is as foul of the perrenial favourite, guiness and blackcurrant.
