   Rather spookily, this isn't a bad description of myself [though the 
dissapproving looks are usually reserved for me, i have an unnecessarily 
open mind as to what constitutes *fun* #. And yes I CAN hear you sniggering 
at the back, so stop it...], though the only reason i get up on Saturday 
mornings is so i can have the shower and kitchen to myself, before the rest 
of the slobs i am compelled to live with get as close as they can to 
vertical [Ah, the joys of life in UEA halls of residense]. This 
unfortueately means fighting my way to the toaster, and thus tidying the 
kitchen on route.

   This actually sounds familiar, its the reaction i get every time i try to 
explain the relevance of B+S, which is why i gave up, and nowadays give them 
a tape or lend them a cd - this works a lot better, though getting the cd 
back can often be a pain in the Aspedestra, but not as bad as trying to find 
'Bonnie Prince Billy' or 'Magnetic Fields' cds in Norwich...

# Many people for example believe that cycling is an unnecessarily dangerous 
and wasteful occupation - I disagree, overtaking car drivers whilst being 
sworn at for the privilege is enormous fun...

'til whenever,

Adam
