anyone who DOES feel like maybe chipping in a couple of quid to help out David and Katrina, maybe you could mail them a cheque or a couple of well concealed coins with a note saying something like: 'here's a couple of quid, it ain't much, but if everyone on the fabbo b&s list does this you might get a new computer so that you continue to do such a spiffing jop with the fan club. cheers!' and then sign it. And stick it in an envelope with a stamp and address it to: Belle and Sebastian, PO Box 14153, London SW11 4XU, England. That's the address they have on the web site anyway :-)

Of course this is only going to be useful if a fair percentage of listmembers chip in, but hey... i'm gonna do it tomorrow morning. Because i think they're worth it :-)

I'm for this idea, but to throw a spanner in the works, wouldn't there be a problem with foreign currency, cheques and suchlike?. Maybe only a third of the listers are UK resident (and possibly of a lurking persuasion) and small amounts from abroad may be impractical. I think we'll have to work something out since, I regard David & Katrina as an integral part of the list, almost as important as Paul (Mitchell). They must be saved! Keith - Where are you this week? Byee, Paul (Laird) <plaird@ndirect.co.uk> PS. - The best way to conceal your coins is to cut coin-shaped holes in an envelope-sized piece of cardboard then tape coins into the holes. Post the lot and the Postperson won't have to worry about stray metal discs destroying the sorting machines.
