For Red Nose Day, eBay UK has an interesting charity auction sponsored by BAFTA. The Sirius Black 'wanted' poster from PoA can be yours if you've got two grand burning a hole in your pocket. For that money I'd want the version that moved

Oh, I am so glad you got it. And don't worry, Nick spends most of disk 2 is a dress much shorter than I would wear :D

I have parts of the Millennium show, but not all of it... if you can copy dvds, I would love it ((I was meant to get it ages and ages ago in a trade... but that fell through (the sob I was trading with got a copy of Glasto '03 for nothing, the fucker))

If you would like any shows, ones that you've been to or such, let me know. I might have it somewhere.. or be able to get them, if there is video or at least audio bootlegs out there.

I haven't had a chance to see the second disk yet, but that sounds more like the Nicky we know and love.

I should have said the Millennium show was the one at the millennium, not the one for tsunami aid. But I turned the house upside down yesterday and can't find the damn thing! I think I may have lent it to my sister's boyfriend, in which case I'll get it next weekend, hopefully. But! I have the DVD of Forever Delayed and now that my shiny new computer can copy DVDs, I can have a go at copying that for you, if you haven't seen it. (You will positively die of joy when you see the official video of You Love Us!) I'm a bit of a Luddite when it comes to this new-fangled copying lark, and need to investigate it further...

I don't mind You Stole the Sun; the lines that get me are 'The world is full of refugees / Just like you and just like me'. Aaaurgh! Nicky! I can't believe you wrote that.

Erm... what's Red Nose Day? Do I even want to know? Is it something to do with the drinking habits of the British public?

Congratulations on the new iMac; that's wonderful!

Has anyone ever used an exercise ball for... well,exercising?

Do you mean the very large, inflatable type? Or the small heavy type (medicine balls-- don't know if that's what they're called in the UK)? I've used the large semi-squishy type for situps and the like. It's fine, but I've never felt like I got something from it that I couldn't easily substitute another kind of exercise for. But I don't do Pilates. Also, my sense of balance is not good and I tend to fall off. You're probably a lot more coordinated than I am. Speaking of verbal diarrhoea...

Red Nose Day = the culmination of Comic Relief. They raise millions for charity every two years and take over BBC1 for the night.

The new iMac is wonderful, but copying everything over is definitely not. It took me three hours last night to gather and copy all my various bookmarks (which my new browser won't load automatically), which if you printed out the urls could wrap around the world at the equator, twice. It's going to be a long week.

I like Pilates because you just lie about and move little bits at a time. I'm not into stuff like whole-body moving, which messes up my hair something rotten.

Email soon! (once I get my rochefort account reconnected...)

Wheeeeeee! Master & Commander! The very mention of fills my geeky heart with joy. I could care less about autographs though. It's an issue of great despair for my new boss who is trying to teach me the used book trade. My brain seems to be resisting the idea that interesting books are not the same as valuable books and vice versa.

As for exercise balls...I've never been able to shake the feeling that someone, somewhere, is laughing all the way to the bank over how many people have actually bought those things. Of course my entire experience with them consists of wrapping my legs around one when drunk and trying to bounce about as if I was on a pogo-stick. It was going pretty well until I tipped over and cracked my head on the coffee table. Let that be a lesson to you.

Please, DEAR GOD, tell me there is video of this? At least a still photo... something!

I can't picture you as a second-hand bookseller, for some reason. I've always thought the job calls for a combination of microscopic attention to detail, a vicious commercial instinct and extreme misanthropy - the latter because the sellers always seem to hate anyone who comes into their shop. Have you seen Black Books, where Dylan Moran is a bookseller? It's quite wonderful.

This is my fear exactly.

Maybe it was you I saw on one in that porn film?
