swedish morrisseyfans...?

Hi,

I´ve done something terrible! A couple of days ago I programmed some crap movie on my VCR, mistakenly deleting my sisters recording of an old Smiths-concert from 1983...
Yes, I know, I hate myself too.
So if anybody has recorded that concert, shown on Musikbyrån, SVT2 in October 2001 and would like to help me by copying it - please e-mail me! thestranger@nme.com
I´d be extremely grateful for any help!

Thanks,
Sandra

You're lucky you didn't do that in mccannland, Sandra. Hanging offence, I'm afraid.
From what I've heard, though, the Swedes are fairly liberal.
You'll probably be wrapped in cotton wool, given a four-bedroom house with views of a lake, extensive sessions with the country's top therapist (at the taxpayers expense), and generally told that it wasn't your fault and to take as long as you like before you feel as if you can re-join public life.

And people wonder why the mccannese and the swedes don't get on.

[LOL, that was funny!]

[Sandra]

...but I think I want to be punished in this case.

I honestly can´t think of a worse offence. And while Sweden may be rather liberal, I know my sister isn´t.

But I must admit I´m fascinated by the country you claim to be living in... I guess it´s a bit like Albania or Saudi Arabia?

Ohh how terrible.. Knock that re-recordable tab out the old tape in future..
Then again, unlike McCann, I have a terrible history and a weakness for Swedes, so if you're as beautiful as most Swedes are.. I'd be very forgiving! Still couldn't magically restore the lost footage though!

You´re absolutely right. Thanks for being so understanding though, after all I´m just a stupid Swede...
I´m thinking of hiring some kind of personal assistant who can help me manage my life!

Oh Sandra, please don't denigrate yourself with such harsh words such as stupid.. say something more positive.. like 'I'm just an apathetic Swede'.. Hmm, maybe not.. What about 'absent minded, my heads in the clouds with the pilots, but I have very clean streets Swede'.. Yeah, that's better.

If you need a PA.. ahem, I can do that!
Shamelessly,
Ruffian

Well, if you absolutely INSIST on being punished, I suppose I could arrange something.
And the suffix 'land' is a wee bit misleading because mccannland is actually a planet.
Situated in a dark empty corner of the universe. I have the whole place to myself. You won't be surprised to hear.
It isn't at all like Albania or Saudi Arabia. I model it as an austere version of Helsingborg.

bry dig inte om människorna här

man brukar kunna köpa den på skivmässor och ibland finns den även att köpas som DVD på Ebay tillsammans med en annan konsert från tysk TV. Den är iaf ganska vanlig så du bör kunna hitta den. Lycka till,

Well, I guess I won´t be able to pay that much so I advise you not to quit your day-job...

Sounds very intriguing. I´ve only been in H. once and then it was quite windy and rainy.

That's easy for you to say.
