Ok, fair enough, there's no need to shout!  However, the "textbook" 
definition doesn't always necessarily apply to artistes does it?  Well, 
what I mean is, Stuart is allowed to interpret such words into his own 
meaning (and language obviously :|), as I distinctively remember when he 
and Isobel were staying at ours, and we first heard "Pastie" and asked 
him what the title meant, he said " it's something like the apathy of 
the middle-class".

He said it!  PROMISE!

Let's not be angry anymore ... please?

Cheers,
Katrina.
