Sinister: The first and last time I'll mention Noel Edmonds on the list...

If you carry on sending emails like that one we'll all marry you... I'll
be at the front of the queue... (is polygamy banned on the list yet?)

Well you wouldn't want to hear about the dream I had last night; let's
just say it involved a man with a ridiculous moustache, a dustbin full of
baked beans, and Noel Edmonds. I need a psychiatrist quick. I'm still
working on having a B&S dream, but I have had a couple of dreams involving
reading mails from this list (including once on a Ferris Wheel!). And I
must say I was very impressed by Genevieve's poem declaring her love for
the record store boy...

Apologies for momentarily reawakening a dying thread, but I never got
round to saying it at the time: I went to see Supergrass play last week,
and between the support band and them coming on, while the roadies were
sorting out all the equipment, they projected stuff onto a huge white
sheet hanging from the ceiling. There was a RoadRunner cartoon, a few old
public information films (including one about how you shouldn't pull
things down from a table in case they fell on you (Doh!), and one of Kevin
Keegan teaching the Green Cross Code), and then a Bugs Bunny cartoon. And
we all loved it, it was a good laugh and it meant we weren't hanging
around for half an hour before the band came on getting bored. I guess
that's the kind of thing B&S were hoping to do in Manchester? Well it gave
me an idea, how about doing something like that between songs at the next
gigs? Just a quick 15 second thing each time, make a feature of the
Pinteresque pauses (sorry Tim. btw, love the photo...). Or you could sell
slots for adverts between songs?

I love the idea of having a list picnic or something. Why wait till the
summer? We could all get together somewhere and stay up really late and
eat lots of sweeties and tell each other really scary ghost stories and
then fall asleep under the stars and and... (OK maybe we'd better wait
till the summer to do the last bit)

Going completely off topic now (what do you mean I already had?). It's the
RAG Blind Date in Cambridge next week. We all pay some money to charity,
fill in a form, and are then matched up with our ideal (possibly) date for
the evening. And I can't think of anything vaguely amusing to write in
a few sections of the form. So if anyone has any funny answers to "Justify
your existence", "What is your favourite pasta shape, and why" or
"Complete this picture" (the last one might be a bit tricky over email.
Darn. Oh well...) I'm open to all suggestions...

Finally leaping quite unexpectedly back onto topic: we know B&S used "Cock
Fun" as a working title for an album; is there any working title for the
new album? Or is that secret?
