Dear puds, I have returned home from my B&S/Sinister package tour, feeling physicallly drained but a spiritual stonner. What a wonderful time. I'm ripping the virginity from my mick cooke mug as I type, I am. Now listen, I think I have quite a lot of things I have to say this evening, please humour me, and forgive me If I annoy you. First things first, the competition. Thanks to everyone who entered. The results are: In equal last place: 20. duke 24 20. Tim Hopkins 24 20. kevan cooke 24 Unlucky boys. But seeing as Tim was so lovely to me and julia thoughout the last week, and kevan was a decent chap too, I have to promote them from last place. Which means Duke, you are in last place proper and the overall belle and sebastian fantasy song league loser. 19. Peter Miller 25 (Unlucky , but at least you bet the duke.) 18. oon 30 15. Calumn Shearer 32 15. paul mitchell 32 15. Julia 32 12. Rod Begbie 34 12. ronan barrett 34 12. Adrian Evans 34 11. matt Bcapirigi 35 10. R.O. Jenkins 37 8 . Linda Kerr 39 8. FunkySeb 39 6. Derek Martin 41 6. John Johnstone 41 And the top of the bunch, who scored more than twice what the duke scored: 4. Declan McGurk 49 4. Joss Moorkens 49 3. Andrew Grant 50 Boys, boys see how close you were! Very very close. Hard Lines. 1. Steve Genge 51 1. peter larsson 51 Oh! We have a tie break situation!!!!! It's between Peter and Steve!. But I didn't tell you what was going to happen in a tie break situation, did I? Here's what shall happen in a tie break situation. I shall ask a question and the one of you who gives me the nearest answer wins. I shall announce the winner to the list. In the chance that one of you is away and not near a computer, I shall give two weeks before declaring the other bloke victor. Here is the question: Belle and Sebastian have a manager called Neil. He is only 12 years old, but remarkably hairy for one so young. He has two sideburns, one by each ear, which he can use as a pulley device to shift the bands equipment. I know for a fact how many hairs are in each of Neils boards, what I need you to tell me is the total number of sideburn hairs on Neils face (to the nearest ten thousand). Best of Luck. christopher +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister@majordomo.net".
