The FT re-launch party thing

It was lovely larks, I'll defintely be coming to the next installation. The Belle & Sebastian parts were GUD, I'm quite surprised you haven't got round to calling them "Bell End Semen Stain" just yet - that was doing the rounds a while back. Hush your mouth. Nice to meet up with the Focus Group funsters again, also nice to split a bottle of wine on the coach and then drink SANGRIA and GIN and TONIC! People in Oxford don't dance enough really, do they?

Less Morrisey next time though, huh?

And shoot whoever played Spearmint! Not to kill, cos it was probably Steve, and I do love Steve.

YARS.

(chuffin heck, posted more in the last two minutes than i have for the last 5 months no doubt)

I don't know why I love the phrase "Belle and Suckasstian" so much, because, you know, ultimately, I really don't actually mind their music that much, as evidenced by my contributions to the "Boy With Arab Strap" thread over thar on that thar other board.

I think it's because one of my bestest friends in the world, the Divine Miss Cat, (a fellow devotee of sugary girlfriend and actually a not so secret GOFF) also has a boyfriend (wait, they're married now) similarly obsessed with wibbling twee and C86 feypop as my boy Paul. She started slagging off "Belle and Suckasstian" and "B&S&M" and such, and it was just so hysterical that I can't stop using it. Really, I intend no offense. It just cracks me up, I guess you'd have to know Cat and know how funny she is to understand why.

As a humble request from the Bitter Bastard, to be reemphasized when August rolls around and The Great Shindig happens:

No Belle and Sebastian. AT ALL.

Thank you, drive through.
