B is for Bethy and Jon, who've only just turned fifiteen,

(jon hides embarassedly)

me and bethey were just saying how exciting it will be next time we go to a B&S gig, all you lot (all you grown-ups) that are there are going to know exactly who we are and they will come pick on us.

Did anyone notice us at the sunday matinee in Manchester? we felt

I think I do remember two young whippersnappers cross-legged on the floor at the Sunday matinee. Which is confusing me, because I can't dispel the nagging feeling that jon.g and bethey are too perfect to be real. Have you looked at their descriptions of one another on their webpages? If only I was that cool when I was 15. If only I were that cool now. Why am I so obsessed with youth? I have some questions I've decided to throw open to the floor. What is that song 'Arab Strap' that B&S did in Manchester? Is it a (d'oh) Arab Strap cover? Only it sounded nothing like them - there was proper singing and everything. Did the name Belle and Sebastian come before or after Isobel joined? Are Belle and Sebastian still not snogging? nick.d like

everyone was looking at us cos we were so small, but I don't know. The best bit was when we collected our tickets from the credit card bloke and I had to explain to him that it was my Mum's credit card - it was more than slightly amusing.

You might be wondering why bethey hardly ever posts, unlike jong, who feels famous because he posts so much. Anyway, bethey hasn't broken up yet, so that's why. That's also why I appear and disappear - I'm normally too busy in term time - I have to look out of my window for an hour and then do a bit of homework, so that takes up lots of my time.

At the next b&s concerts will everyone please not pick on us. i am very delicate as i am vertically challenged in my extreme youth and this prospect scares me greatly. jon is, however, very strong and tough and will protect me by kicking his leg so that the corner of his flares pokes you in the eye, so be scared.

this is just to prove that i can write, as jon highlighted the fact that i hardly ever post
