Not that you're paying attention any more (see last posting) but this will
probably be my last post for a while as I'm going to Uni, and while I'll keep
subscribed I'll probably be too busy to contribute. Well, it's been a fun-ish few
months, and I suppose I wish you well. I'm sure you'll all be pleased to know
I'm too tired to be as depressed as I was when I wrote the last message Yes -
depressed i.e. not pissed off. It just read like that. I suppose I'd better answer
my critics then:

Hold on - wait a sec. What are you implying with those inverted commas mr
Watson? For your information everyone has called me WeeJay for a couple of
years now. It started off when me and my friends went bowling and we all had
bowling names - Aaron was Bavarian Monkey, Charlie was Princess Cheila and
I was Wildman Jim (I cant remember the others) This turned into WJ and
eventually WeeJay. So there. You can carry on now.

Ooh, claws out Keith. All I was saying was that I expected that people who had
made the effort to 'discover' B&S would have made the effort to search out other
good stuff neglected for its uncommerciality. See? I'm not saying don't post
your lists although I have to agree about their tiresomeness, I'm just making a
comment about them. Look, I was feeling a bit depressed, you cant begrudge
me that. Oh I give up. I hope this is the end of this crap.
So this is probably goodbye. Please, people, respond to the e-mails of others
at least a bit, and don't be over-obsessed by B&S content. I mean, I hope this
can be a place to meet other B&S fans and that gives you a certain class of
person you usually search in vein to find to talk to. Anyway, bye.
Unashamedly,
WeeJay X X X X X X X
