Anyway, about a fortnight ago he finally accepted it and he was on the
phone tonight asking for a shot of more B&S stuff.

one of their friends like B&S it would see a big increase in the number of
fans.  And then if they made one of their friends like them, and then they
made one of their friends like them......well you see where I'm going here.

I also managed to convert one of my friends to The B&S Side (as well as my
physics lecturer . . . can't say I ever expected that to happen, but there
you are), but some people remain awfully stubborn. I know one guy who heard
literally 15 seconds of "The Stars of Track and Field" before writing them
off as the worst band ever.

In other (far less interesting) news, my copies of Lazy Line Painter Jane
and Dog on Wheels arrived the other day. I warn everyone with exams coming
up: don't OD on B&S tracks you've never heard before the day before an
important exam - you'll get nowt done in the way of study :-)
