mark may be feeling chubby, but at least he hasn't sunk to the depths that matt and i have reached in our post-christmas self-loathing. i just sent the following email to louise solomon of 'yogalates' (the best bits of yaga AND pilates) fame: Dear Louise, I have just received my Yogalates DVD from amazon.co.uk, but (unlike in my local stores) no resistance band was provided with it. Are there UK outlets where I can buy a resistance band as used in your DVD? Hope you can help! Regards, Rachel Playforth Brighton, UK oh my god. what's happening to meeeee???!!! while not buying terrible fitness videos, i sometimes like to watch bbc 2, you know. and while watching a trail for a new crop of programmes (jamie oliver may have featured), i was surprised to recognise the backing music as the intro to 'i could be dreaming'. someone at bbc 2 is definitely a fan. speaking of tigermilk, on 'my wandering days are over', is there a horse-type sound effect at the 'disenchanted pony' bits, or is it just an echo in the music/my imagination? gigs! london! i can't afford a ticket yet, maybe not ever. but yay, anyway. neil heartlessly informed me that they 'nearly' played brighton, but decided not to... but i can't be too depressed - b&s may not be coming to brighton, but sinister is! i'm off to york tomorrow until monday, but will get into proper picnic mummy (or rather, pub mummy) mode when i get back. are people from london arranging to get a train together? aim to get here about 2.30 if so. well, i'll see some of the york massive tomorrow i hope, and the rest of you either in brighton on just in my dreams :) luv archel xxx ps. b&s content - 2.5 paragraphs! ****************** Visit www.buzzwords.ndo.co.uk for the best new writing on the web.
