Remember a while back that people were asking the weirdest places where you had heard Belle and Sebastian, well on the football section on Radio Scotland they do a sketch/comedy show about Scottish football and someone playing Fergus McCann (the chief executive of Celtic) made a joke about Belle and Sebastian winning a Brit (it was as part of a sketch about Jim Kerr of Simple Minds buying Celtic, it was a crap sketch, crap joke, BUT it was a fairly unlikely place to hear a reference to Belle and Sebastian). Alix, can I suggest that you go onto Countdown and *win* a rather attractive teapot? I could do it for you if you like, as I am a student and officially have nothing to do in the afternoons except watch gameshows (oh and be pretentious about my coursework of course). I've even started watching Wheel of Fortune, and actually lasted ten whole minutes of Through the Keyhole the other day (it was bald snooker genius and friend of Gary Lineker, Mr Willie Thorne, and my house is a lot nicer than his, well I think so anyway). Finally, after reading everyone's Belle and Sebastian dreams for so many months and thinking I would never have one myself, last night the (almost) unthinkable happened. I can't remember any of my dreams ever (except one where I was Steve McManaman which is a bit alarming) so I can't tell you what the dream was about, but I do clearly remember the name Tim Hopkins being quite prominent in whatever it was, and it was the first thought I had when I woke up. This is highly bizarre as I have never met Mr Hopkins in my life. I'm all scared now... Apologies for the Brit-centredness of every reference in this mail, I shall try to be more cosmopolitan next time. In four weeks from now I will be at Camber Sands :), I am getting more than a little excited. I read in the NME that Belle and Sebastian would be playing the Sunday night, but perhaps we could force them to change their minds so that nobody flying back early will miss them?
