oh it doesn't say Arab Strap at all... it says 'Shaz' and 'Boyzone', and
'NC Loved Me', the bloke is just LISTENING to Arab Strap. You get an 'F'
for your critical appraisal.

one of my biggest regrets is not turning down the opportunity to be a
prefect. i would have been the first at my school to do so, but i
buckled under the pressure. we had to wear scummy green bands around the
cuffs of our blazers. the blazers were purple, and it was not a pretty
sight. But then nor was i so it didn't matter so much. i never did any
duties though... well i did a stair duty once and tripped up some kid in
the corridor who shouldn't have been running, but that was about it.
hazy days.

bathroom. tiles. tiles. bathroom.

oh sod it, i'll do it tomorrow with a hangover.
