Hi gang Just a brief one today... Kevin Hyde said <<The only other interpretation I could think of would be "twee as fuck" means like "twee as sex". But unless your lovemaking regularly involves elements from the Hello Kitty catalogue, I don't think that's very accurate.>> Well... You wouldn't think so. However, after a recent trip to Japan I brought back various bits of Hello kitty merchandise (pasta, tissues, bags of sugar etc) to impress my friends (oh how shallow I really am). Everyone seemed pleased apart from one girl who told me that she had gone right off Hello Kitty after spotting an official Hello Kitty vibrator in a shop in Brighton. I guess some people really are just twee-er than others! In other news, my mum was driving me back to uni yesterday and she put a cd on that a collegue had made for her. She was telling me her thoughts about various songs (The Jam are "too shouty" apparently) when boy with the arab strap came on. I was expecting a tirade of abuse, so imagine my surprise when she asked if they had any albums she could buy! Which would you recommend as a first b+s album? I got sinister first but then for me nothing else has ever bettered it, so I'm always slightly disappointed. But if I advised on one of the inferior* albums and she didn't think it was up to scratch, she might just give up on the whole thing. Quel dilemma!
