Sinister: Shot right through me like a bolt of blue.

[Northy]

It is yes Katrina, but for some reason I forgot to send the whole 
story....

so here goes....

OK, I was at the petrol station opposite the Links pub in Ashford 
Middlesex with my friend Ian at about 4pm.  We'd just come back from 
playing tennis and we were slurping away at our drinks.

So I look at this car, and say, doesn't that car look weird. (The 
number plate was not in the middle, it was placed to the right.

Then Ian says, "look, that bloke looks like Thom Yorke", and I look 
at him filling his car up and it does a bit.  Plus he was wearing 
sunglasses, and although it was sunny, I thought he might be wearing 
them to cover his lazy eye.

So he's finished filling up and he walks past us into the petrol 
station shop.  He was wearing grungey clothes and was unshaven.  So I 
think, "oh my God, Thom Yorke"  Then I look through the shop window 
and he'd taken his sunglasses off and I saw the lazy eye!  THOM YORKE 
THOM YORKE THOM YORKE THOM YORKE THOM YORKE

So rather nervously I go into the shop and manage to stutter the 
question, "excuse me are you Thom Yorke"  Not looking at me he said 
in a rather pissed off tone, "Sorry I'm busy mate" and I said "oh" 
and walked off.

So, I walked out and back to speak to my friend.  I was *so* ashamed 
at having invaded his privacy and I felt *really* bad.

But nothing will take away the fact that Thom Yorke, an international 
rock star was at the petrol station in my home town at the same time 
as me.

I mean this thing really, really meant a lot to me.

Probably like one of you guys meeting Morrissey when you were my age 
(18)

> is slighty inapporpriate to post to the B&S list?

Yes, but this was a monumental part of my life and damned exciting!

so anyway I suppose I'd better add my two cents to the Belle and 
Sebastian album title:

If I had the deciding vote I'd call it "Fraggle Rock" just because I 
could.

anyways

bye
