i told a friend of mine that i was hoping to go and see belle and sebastian in greece. he obviously misunderstood and said, "what, the musical?"... now there's a gig i'd pay to see. i am trying my best to concentrate on this post, slightly distracted by the delights of "bid-up.tv" on the telly next to me. for the uninitiated, this is the live, no-fuss, on-line, interactive auction channel. it's very good. and so easy to use. with just one simple phone call you could be engaged in a cut-throat bidding war for a 3 piece aluminium luggage set. help me. the other night i couldn't switch off without knowing just how much those signed 'alien resurrection' film posters went for. the problem is, i have recently joined the digital age - telly, phone and internet, which means i can now check my email at home, instead of/aswell as wasting all that time doing it at work. oh my god, look at the quality of those saucepans. ok, i just found a link to the 'splishsplosh' "belle and sebatian song generator". maybe you all knew about this already, but for those of you who didn't (like me), go to http://www.splishsplosh.co.uk/frames.htm?song and enjoy the likes of "boy in a drawer" "horse on the game" and "david and the girl of string" A: if anyone does know the answer to the subject line question, please let me know. my attempts to buy tickets for the athens gig have been frustrated by my lack of knowledge of the greek language. take care simon _________________________________________________________________ Send and receive Hotmail on your mobile device: http://mobile.msn.com +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister@missprint.org.
