Gawd, I dunno, I live in north west Lancashire for five years, waiting for something to happen, then when I decide to leave, you lot go and make something happen. Let that be a lesson to me. Beth wrote:

hmmm...isn't that the definition of a musical idiot...? Anyway, Tag wrote: I like the idea of a Sinister summer holiday. We could go to Blackpool, it's famous for fresh and air and fun. Yes, and watch it all go wrong as the sinister crowd turns to nibbling disco biscuits by mistake and watches the world twist and become a savage and monstrous place for a cardie-wearer. This could be fun. Blackpool is an amazing place of a summer evening, everyone having fun, and the whole town just one wrong word away from erupting into beer-fuelled violence. Mind, if you're going to Blackpool, you might as well go to sunny Morecambe (pron: Moricambi), for that authentic run-down, as-you-stare-through-the-rain feeling. Belle and Sebastian should play at the Midland Hotel, a faded, flaking art deco marvel, looking out over the mud and grey water of Morecambe Bay, and the finest building in the North West of England. Honest. The hotel is shaped something like an apostrophe, too, so it could be educational. The following sentence requires attention to be paid to its punctuation. I, like Peter Miller (that cockered, clay-brained varlot), am attracted by the idea of a meet up in the centre of the earth. We could hold a survey at each of the levels of hell, asking how many copies of Tigermilk there were at each. Alternatively, can I suggest that we hold a meet up in Purgatory? I am reliably informed that discussions in Purgatory just now are running along the lines of 'Next autumn? *Next bloody autumn?! That's ages...'.

You incorrigible old self-publicist, you couldn't keep it to yourself, could you. A couple of people wrote: >tell me the names of unreleased Belle and Sebastian songs Does 'If Only I Had Lips, Then I Could Kiss You' count? It is, in a very real sense, a Belle and Sebastian song, although, as diligent list readers know, it was first sung by 'the coolest cold-blooded crooner on the planet'.
