If anyone can tell me where I found the subject line, they win a giant size Jaffa cake. I've been melting normal size ones down for several weeks now, and I've got one as big, round and tasty as Mick Cooke's smiley face stored under my mattress. I'll have it flown over suspended beneath a chopper - one for the UFO enthusiasts. Mark Casarrrotto squeaked:
Stuart Murdoch (why doesn't he post any more?) mentioned "a lot of nun". It seems this wasn't only my illicit schoolboy fantasy
which sounds like a very bad habit :) Francesca:
I was in a very bad mood today. in my class we're all wondering about the people who was born on a 29/2. when is their birthday in the years without 29/2?
They only have a birthday every four years. My friend Arthur was a "leap baby", and despite having lived 24 years, is legally only 6 years old. He's in his second year at nursery school, from which I occasionally pick him up, and we discuss colouring in and sing the alphabet over a couple of pints. Jenowl hooted prettily:
bawbag
which is a smashing word. I'm going to use it every day. Last of all, and probably least of all (it being B&S content and all), I was chatting to my bruv last night (in a rare moment of family bonding). He is a radio entertainment journalist, and has to cover the Brits on Friday. Apparently last year was a nightmare, mainly because he and a bunch of other journos were standing outside after the awards for hours in the rain, waiting for, yes, Belle & Sebastian. Inevitably they didn't come out, not that any of the daft bawbags would have recognised Richard and Mick if they had (this is my brother, who has been known to ask "Which one is Liam?" at Oasis parties). Anyhoo, the upshot was that he later got a call from a Scottish radio station accusing him of being anti-Scottish for not getting the interview. What madness! My brother shot to fame in the crazy world of journalism for getting Brian "slap-head" Harvey sacked from East 17 by asking him about his drug intake. That's quality journalism, that is. Oh, just briefly, I've been struck by how much our Sinister village is starting to resemble Animal Farm, especially in light of Miss Scarlet's glorious fashion revolution. Altogether now: "Three buttons good, two buttons bad"... So long, bawbags J. D.
