Well the list's certainly busy today. I'll probably get told off if I complain about people sending 10 posts a day instead of one long one, or sending lists of bands they like without saying why, so I won't bother. On sartorial matters: On Tue, 24 Nov 1998, Robin Stout wrote:
I have a duffel coat, which i love, but I seem to get no end of abuse for wearing it. Insults usually take the highly original form of "OI, duffel!". I just run away - once they get you by the toggles there's no escape. The chief culprits are puffa jacket wearers, the types who hang around the bus stops with their "White Storm" cider cos they're too young to get in the pubs. Maybe the duffel is the puffa's natural enemy.
Am I alone in finding puffa jacket wearers (uhoh, sweeping generalisation coming up...) some of the most dull, narrowminded, all-my-friends-are-wearing-one-so-I'd-better-wear-one-too people around? (see, told you so...). Sorry if this offends anyone. Actually no, I hope it does offend someone because that would mean that there was actually an open-minded puffa-wearer out there somewhere and the world would be a better place. I mean, there must be some nice people who wear the things, I just don't think I've ever met any. The war on unoriginality starts here. Personally, I'm a fleece man. Sorry if I'm sounding a bit arsey tonight, I'm just not in a very happy mood. You see my sister's been down to visit for a couple of days (which is a good thing), but she's been telling me what the situation is like staying with my parents at the moment (which is a bad thing). And I'm about to head up there for 4 weeks for the Christmas break. You would not believe how stressful it is putting up with family life at the moment. Speaking of which, is anything still happening about a Glasgow meetup round New Year sometime? I'll probably be in Scotland at the time, and it'll give me a couple more days away from the parents...
