Sinister: REVISED COMPETITION: Fantasy B&S song League

[Chris Leonard]

Here is the revised competition, scrap the last one.  If you entered (i.e.
Tim or Peter)  can choose again please.  Please remember that anyone who is
involved with the band can enter, but there's no way I'm giving you my
Elvis picture.  It's too precious.

REVISIONS
=========

I have changed the currency from thousands of pounds to pence, a wonderful
suggestion from Tim.  He really is a stunning fellow, and will surely excel
in his chosen field.  And I have made a bigger scope of songs prices.  So
there.  At least I'm trying, leave me alone.
==============

What, with the upcoming B&S tour activity 31st Aug - 7th September.  I
thought it would be nice if we had a little competition.  Here's the story
-
you have to buy 5 songs which you think will be played at the upcoming
concerts, with a whole pound.  You get 5 points for each song they play,
that
you own.   You will accumulate points as the tour progresses.  

Bonus
=====
You also have to guess the order in which your 5 songs would be played.   
If
you get the order right you get bonus points.

1 Song   played in correct order = 0 points
2 Songs played in correct order = 2 points
3 Songs played in correct order = 3 points
4 Songs played in correct order = 4 points
5 Songs played in correct order = 5 points

Rules:

1.  You must choose exactly 5 songs
2.  You must spend exactly 1 pound.
3.  No members of Belle and Sebastian can win, but they can play.
4.  No-one I suspect is on friendly/sexual terms with any members of B&S
can
win, but they can play.
5.  I'm only going to run this for the UK tour dates, but you can still
enter
no matter where you are.
6.  Once you've picked your songs you can't change them.  Your 5 songs are
applied to all the gigs.
7.  I'm gamesmaster, so what I say is right.
8.  Anyone who tries to  manipulate the band to play certain songs
(heckling
at gigs etc) cannot win.
9.  In the event of a draw, there will be a tie break round.  I haven't
decided what it is yet.
10.  No entries will be accepted after 30th August 1998.
