This one goes out to all my sinister ho's triumphant loser pondered

I was just wondering what is the deal with all these B&S related dreams that people relate? I'm not coming down on anyone, or trying to start some sort of argument....i am just curious. It all seems that the whole thing kind of trite ( you know like love at first sight)

Well, ducky, the thing you have to understand is that we're all unsufferably twee and must therefore have wussy dreams about chasing Struan about a Gala bingo hall with a large Saveloy. Madam. It may be trite, but hot damn it sure is fun. Nah. When you're listening to a band an awfy lot (and hey, we're on the equivalent of an addicts' support group here) they understandably start to colonise yr subconscious, like. Which explains the Saveloy. funkyseb warbled charmingly about

CHRIS GEDDES JACKET!!!!!!!

Hah! Has anyone else seen our Seb in that advert on't telly? I nearly choked on my nice cuppa tea. Can't remember what the ad was for, I was too busy spluttering to my friends "I know that bloke who's sitting there being earnest at a psychiatrist!" Can I take a moment to invent the sport of SebSpotting? I think it's rather exciting the way we sinisterines are infiltrating the popular media these days. BTW, Seb, you were feeeenomenal, dolly. FluffyDahling squawked

But at least choking Bel on her headscarf would get rid of TWO things I find nigglingly annoying. Headscarfs belong to grannies! Grannies, FIGHT FOR YOUR HEADSCARFS before they become the exclusive property of stupid art students and bad "song"-writing girls.

OI! CLARKE! Don't diss art studes, man. I might have to come round yer way and kneecap you with an etching plate. Hur hur hur. And no, I have nothing better to do, despite being at a poncy university where one supposedly has to do shitloads of work. I'm showing my latest masterpiece next week - it's an excruciatingly boring film of a fluorescent light tube. So there you go. I DO NOT (ooh, I almost went a bit DICKIE there), however, wear any semblance of a headscarf. In my experience, it's really fucking boring physicists and that who wear poor "exciting and novel" clothing to look like they have a clue. No offence to dear sweet cardigan-wearing physicists, of course. Re: the Isobel fracas: I think it's more the _concept_ of Bel (which she certainly doesn't dispel in her appearance at gigs) as a school-uniformed (steady, lads) popette with a tiger-pyjama fetish that pisses people off. I'm sure (not being a close personal friend, ho ho) she's a human being with all the necessary nice bits and bastardly bits, but the essence of her stage presence is to project a girlygirly image, and that's what's being reacted to. She's certainly the most visibly stylised member of the band, and that's why Mick, for instance, doesn't get half the attention she does. He just stands to one side and plays with his instrument. Matron. Sharp suit, though. I don't find Isobel's music or musicality annoying at all, despite my headscarf and capri-pant allergies. She's a good 'cellist, which is always a bonus in my liber, and I can deal with the breathy ickle girl vocals just fine, albeit with a heavy dose of irony. I do, however, find satire on the theme of Bel's eccentricities amusing, and really rather resent the implication that it's improper to take the piss. I don't care if I don't know a pop star personally (in fact I'd rather not) if I'm going to have a go at their foibles. Wearing badges on one's lapel in the authentic upside-down sinister way gets a bit disturbing sometimes. People are always staring and trying to make out wot the hell my 3...6...9... badge says. Unless they're just staring in rapt awe at my bosom. I just can't tell! *accompanied by Tommy Cooperesque gesture* Mind you, at least people don't have enough of a clue to take the pish out of that badge, like they always do with my "what do I know, I'm just a kid" one. Isn't Christmas brilliant? Because term ends at the beginning of December, we get into the seasonal swing around this time of year, which is bizarro but quite fun. I'm caroling away like nobody's business already. Love, Liz :x 0771 3014742 *************************Never Knowingly Underdressed************************* Bugger me, what a long post.
