Hello. I met Belle and Sebastian once. Well sort of I did. Me and my lass-at-the-time went to see them play in Scarborough, oooh, about 18 months or so back. And very good they were too, except we had to sit down at the gig. I've never been to a sitty-doon gig before and I'm not too sure I like it. I'm used to sweaty moshpits with everyone drinking lager. This was a much more civilised do. Everyone sitting down, eating candyfloss and ice-creams and drinking panda pops (not really made from pandas non-uk people. At least I don't think so). In the bar beforehand some guy spilt my drink and I honestly thought he was going to start crying. Ahhh, don't you just love it? You wouldn't get that at a Puddle of Mudd gig. Anyway, after the gig we got back to the hotel and some young scallywag had broken into our room and swiped my mobile, my shirt and my lass-at-the-time's glasses! why on earth would someone steal someone's glasses? Not happy, and if I'd have gotten hold of him I would have put on my disembowelling hat. Next day, we were walking into town to get the train home when who should be loading up their bus but young Struan and, I think, Mick (could be wrong). Sarah was there too and she was wearing the same jumper that she had on on-stage the night before - uurrr! "Nice gig last night" I said, "thank you very much" said Struan. "Yeah, it was tops" couldn't think of anything else to say so walked off and bought a tin robot (really). Why on earth I didn't get them to sign my ticket or CDs or something I don't know. Why I didn't steal Isobel is beyond me. oh well, you've got to move on haven't you? ANyway, the important bit. Did you know all polar bears are left handed? They end up smudging their work with their whopping A3 sized paws because we right left to right. I think that this may be the main reason why there has never been a really popular polar bear novel - their work is always rejected by the publishers because of the terrible presentation before they get chance to read it. Either that or they can't write in the first place because they can't find their white paper (think about it). I think we should all chip in and buy typewriters and bright paper to encourage them. Set up a charity or something. Bye Dean X A geordie lass went into the hairdressers and asked for a perm. The hairdresser said "I wandered lonely as a cloud". __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
