Dear All, On Sunday, I finally got around to planting my potatoes. My back garden is very small, so I could only plant two rows. Looking out of my kitchen window through the steam of a well-earned cup of tea an idea sprouted in front of me. There in front of me, all lined up like horses at the starting gate, were ten brand-new gambling opportunities. Knowing how you members of the "Belle and Sebastian and Potatoes Mailing List" love a good bet, here it is: (the seed potatoes are ordered as they are seen from Robin's kitchen window) \o/ 1: Le Potato De La Bourgeoisie \o/ 2: The Tater I Am In \o/ 3: You're Just a Tattie \o/ 4: Spud-o-tronic Renaissance \o/ 5: There's Too Much Spud \o/ 6: The Spud of Mash and Peel \o/ 7: The Potato in the Snow \o/ 8: I Know Where the Potatoes Go \o/ 9: Lazy Mashed Potater Jane \o/ 10: I'm Waking Up to Spuds Each potato is more or less the same size and, after plenty of digging, the going is good. Winners will be judged in a few months time on the number of potatoes produced per seed potato, their size, healthiness and flavour. Whoever picks the winner, I will send a prize.* He he! I just sent someone a tea bag in the Internal Mail here at work and he doesn't know who it came from. HA HA!! A TEA BAG!!!! Robin x * The prize may be a potato.

Dear Sinister I feel obliged to point out that Stouty missed the following puntastic opportunities: Judy is a Chip Slap, A Century of Taters and Ease your Frites into the Sea. I'm bored at work, do you see? But I'm jealous of Robin's potatoes! In two weeks time, I am entering the big, grown-up world of flat ownership and, though I won't have enough room for veg, I'll at least be able to plant a border of lavender and put geraniums on my windowsills. There will be bumble bees and butterflies and sparrows and probably earwigs, slugs and snails too. And I will have to do things like mow the grass and clip the hedge. I've never clipped a hedge in my life! Now, if you could wax, shave or Immac privet, I'd be just fine. Sigh. I was looking at Stuart's top 50 films and noticed that his number one is the same as Ally C's number one - Annie Hall. I quite like it too, but my only problem with it is that Woody Allen is in it. It always feels a bit dirty, watching Woody Allen. Especially in those grubby little white shorts he wears as underwear and he lies down on the bed and tries to look sexy with his little legs and fluffy hair. Bleurgh, cringe! Manhattan is far worse and pervier though. We watched it at the CCA not long ago and the theatre stank of pish.
