Perhaps if it were actually recorded in a nutshell,
preferably by some squirrels with their cheeks stuffed full
of the original contents of said nutshell.

Is it just me, or are some of the bunnies' batteries running
a bit low? I know mine are. Still, I've been given a big
bunny boost by the belated news that I finally managed to
put Choo Choo Mitchell in his proper place by giving him a
jolly good thrashing in the exciting Ivor the Engine
competition. I don't know how many other people I
inadvertently humbled with my encyclope (whoops, spelling
problem - irony in action) dic knowledge of children's
television,  but at any rate it's the taking part that's
important. I'm just off for a victory lap around my computer
terminal. Trousers, once again I doff my trousers to you and
your fiendish competitions. Obviously this one was much more
difficult than the first.

I've spent half the afternoon reading the backlog of
messages and I've forgotten all the things I was going to
answer, add to, distort, etc.

Whoever was asking about videos - Andy Dean's ever
increasing Belle and Sebastian archive contains some stills
from the videos, including one of Stuart Murdoch dressed up
as Quentin Crisp, and some people painting lines lazily. I
think he was intending to put the full things up in Quick
Time video form or something. Andy, am I right or am I
wrong?

In the meantime, anyone who hasn't seen it can get to Andy's
site via Paul's site (below) or David and Katrina's fan club
site, where Mister Dean is referred to as "a lovely person".

I apologise if this subject has been covered in my absence.
The videos, not the loveliness.

Do you like my new flat? I am now the proud owner of two new
flatmates, so I think it is my duty to try and convert them
to Belle and Sebastian. I will also try and get them to
write messages to the list. From the looks of things we will
soon have the entire population of Spain signed up. Once
upon a time there were only two of us

We have painted the flat very unprofessionally but I like it
better like that because it is now a part of us and us a
part of it. That doesn't mean to say we won't try and do it
better next time, or that professional painters and
decorators are all bastards, but....
And we set the step ladders up in a funny U-shape and
swapped rollers every now and then.
