Hmm, Peter, do you own a Stylophone?

If not, maybe we could all save our pennies, so that Peter has a lovely 
brand new Styophone for Xmas, and we can hear his very own Stylophone 
mishap stories instead of Rolf Harris & the Beach Boyz...

...sorry, the stories are cute really :)

I want one!

Anyone got any good B&S promo ideas for the new EP?  Outrageous, 
expensive, just eye-catching stuff, please mail the list!

Cheers,
Katrina.

ps Peter, thanks for the gossip!!!
