So no Belle and Sebastian calendar for me

So for one bright and shining moment I forgot how far in the crapper our currency is, and I see that the Belle and Sebastian calendar over on their site is on sale for about 5 pounds because it's already March.

With S&H it comes out to 12 pounds 80, and I think that's not that bad. Then I convert it and realize it'd be approximately $24.50. Argh! I can splurge occasionally, but that's still a bit much for me to spend on a calendar right now.

Alan Greenspan...I bite my thumb at you, sir.

1. A calendar? Really?

I used to LOVE that cartoon.

3. Belle and Sebastian, the band

You're messing with me aren't you? :)

The cartoon seems familiar, but I'm not sure if I actually watched it or I just think I remember watching it. For some reason, I don't remember everything I did before the age of ten.

Thanks for responding to my message, pabsungenis.

6. Great cartoon. The little girl and her big dog.

I used to watch it all the time as a little kid in my gran's house in the West End of Glasgow.
Why would you want a calendar about a weird French kids cartoon?

2. Tell me about it!

I wanted to order some stuff from St. John Street Cyclery.

Not at THESE exchange rates!

How long before the Dollar has parity with the Lire?

9. Yay!

Good to see another B&S fan :hi:

"Sleep the Clock Around" is a good choice from "The Boy with the Arab Strap." If I had to pick a favorite from the album, it would probably be the title track.

7. They're signed to Matador

Is there any way to get a calendar printed in the US?

8. I checked the Matador site

They've got their DVD and CD's, but I see no calendars.

The band does their merchandising through Banchory, a Scottish company.
