...Hello all, First-time poster, long-time reader (to paraphrase the radio phone-in spiel). Nothing much to say, just thought I'd introduce myself as I've been reading your wisdom/musing/rambling for a few weeks since I joined Sinister and I was starting to feel like an eavesdropper... so I thought I'd crowbar my way into the conversation. About me, hmm... I live in South Yorkshire and I've only been into B&S for a year or so. Seemed to discover them just as life was going tits-up i.e. my marriage broke up, and it's fair to say that they helped me through some really shitty months. Now that things are on an even keel, and I'm enjoying single life all over again at 30 (and 10 days) I find that they still mean as much to me as they did then. Know why...? Because B&S don't remind me of the crap times, they remind me that no matter how crap the crap times are, you can put on a CD and be transported away from them... at least for a while. That's the power of all great music, not just B&S... Anyway, I'll leave it there before I disappear up my own arse. Thanks for reading this far (if you still are). Can't wait for Glasgow May 17th when I pop my B&S live cherry. Will no doubt see some of you there (even if neither of us will be aware of that fact). If anyone fancies replying, either via Sinister or direct, then please do... I'm quite a nice bloke when you get to know me, honest. Cheers, Matthew. __________________________________________________ Yahoo!
