For all you religion fans out there! An ecumenical matter. Now that Dermott "Jovial Irish Religion-depricating comedian, fine comic actor in Channel Four's hilarious award-winning religious comedy series Father Ted, and one trick pony" Morgan is dead, will he go to heaven?

Sinister: Where D'you Go?
by Andrewnic 02 Mar '98

02 Mar '98

The following tale contains a slight B&S reference, but is mostly self- indulgent toss. The Andrew - Kim Challenge Cup. Quarter Final. First Leg. Of late, I've been getting on famously with a pretty young lass who is an undergrad working part-time in our A/V department. We've been out a few times with other people from the office, but we went out together for the first time on Saturday. After pubbin' and clubbin' her (as in dancing in a dark room, not going neanderthal-style with a blunt instrument - although that was Plan B) I decided to treat her to a keeebab from Edinburgh's premiere keeebab retailer (Who says I'm not a laydeez man? 1 - nil). We were walking along Melville Drive (well staggering more than walking. With a bit of lurching, too) when it started snowing. The Meadows were already coated with a light dusting of powder snow. We had just reached the first walkway. Then it happened. Peering through the night sky, full of large flakes of snow, I saw it. A fox! In the snow! Through my drunken haze, I decided a few appropriate words would be in order. "A fox... In... IN THE BLARDY SNOW!", I cried (in my best Michael Caine voice. 2 - nil. Not everybody gets my Michael Caine on a first date). This innocent statement had two Surprising Effects. 1. My Laydee Friend. Eyes wide. Mouth Open. Full of 'bab. (2 - 1. Amazing) 2. The Fox. First, there was fear. Similar facial expression to laydee friend. As if it had just heard the hunting horn echoing across the hills. The hoofbeat of the cantering horses. The barks and howls of the nearing pack of hounds. Then, there was something else, something unexpected. Speed. And lot's of it. The fox turned and pegged it faster than I have ever seen a creature move before. What followed was exactly like a scene out of Disney's loveable animated feature "The Fox and the Hound". Except entirely different. And with the word "Fuck" in it. The furry orange fiend flew across the walkway, right in front of a girl on her bicycle. (This is where the rude word comes in, so avert your eyes if you are easily offended). "WHAT THE FUCK!!!", the girl exclaimed, whilst applying the brakes. This had an entirely unsurprising effect. The bike turned, leaned and continued it's journey on it's side. Without the girl. Meanwhile, the fox was half way to George Square. The commotion had by this time attracted the attention of a patrolling police car. As I was helping the poor girl (who was uninjured, but shaken. No, not shaken... what's the word? Angry. Yep. Angry.) to her feet, we were joined by PC Lester and WPC Minto. We were then subjected to a harsh interrogation. Okay, not an interrogation. A conversation. But it was harsh. Well, the weather was harsh. WPC MINTO: What happened? ANDREW (Our hero): A fox. WPC MINTO: A fox? ANDREW: A fox... happened. A blardy fox. KIM (Laydee friend): It ran out. In front of the bike. Dead fast. WPC MINTO: Where did it come from? ANDREW: Dunno. Something must've startled it. KIM: Like a car. Or something. (2 All. Nice penalty save) PC LESTER: Did you see it? ANDREW: What? PC LESTER: The fox running across the road? ANDREW: Dunno. I was eating me 'bab. Want some? Anyway, to cut a long story too long, we were cleared of any involvement in the incident. But the fox is wanted in five countries on two continents. For standing on clear mints. As for me, all went well (as if you care). Was a complete gentleman - walked her home. Got a snog in the stairwell (a double entendre in there, surely). We went to the cinema on Sunday. Result: Panel decision. Away win. Looking forward to the return leg. It may be against our better judgement, but we're going to the zoo. Andrew (with thanks to Kim for filling in the blanks) PS. Sorry 'bout the football references. Tried curling, but couldn't get away from the "In the house"/MC Hammer/Baggy trouser with huge crotch area references. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Sinister: doctor doctor I think i'm in belle and sebastian.
by susannah 02 Mar '98

02 Mar '98

Dear tortured , sensitive Sinisterines I so look forward to the Monday poem, its the highlight of my dull week, and last week Tag's horoscope came as such a surprise I wet myself with glee. In view of these regular features I propose to instigate a Sinister problem page. Initially i thought of asking that upright pillar of society Mister Murdoch to become an agony uncle, as I'm sure he would be able to give me some adult guidance and steer me from behind. The problem I wanted to put to him was a simple one but it troubled me nonetheless: Dear Stu, I am experiencing a difficulty with my castanets and I have heard you are now a flamenco expert so maybe you can help? The problem is, I only have one and it won't clack. Can I clack it against yours? Yours hopefully, Susannah. However on second thoughts I conceded that he would probably think it a piss-take so have nobly taken the burden of responsibility upon mysellf and will be running a weekly agony slot. Please mail me with your problems, the more intimate and medical the better, and I will endeavor to provide an appropriate answer in my weekly column. Anything really personal I will of course treat in the strictest confidence, although I'll mail them immediately to Tag so he can have a laugh too. Susannah. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- . This message was brought to you by the Sinister mailing list. .

Sinister: Hopkirk & Lee
by steve genge 01 Mar '98

Well seeing as we're all holding our breath for new Belle & Sebastian material I thought I'd suggest an alternative before we all go a funny shade of blue. This being the very wonderful Beneath The Apple Tree EP by Hopkirk & Lee. This was actually sold into us at work as being "the new Belle & Sebastian" which if nothing else shows the level of fame B&S have now achieved? Only problem is you start thinking ahhhh Belle & Sebastian lite, ideal when the real thing aren't around. In the same way as Dylan Moran is Eddie Izzard lite but I digress. But no my fears were unfounded the four songs here, simple understated arrangements & lush production show they've been listening to the likes of Love, Buffalo Springfield even a touch of Pale Fountains & added that yearning introspection they obviously bottle north of Carlisle (and you thought it was Irn Bru) Songs to make you tingle like someone's whispering "I love you" in your ear, or maybe I just need the loo? Anyways, the CD is on Gallery records, comes in a crappy sleeve & might make your waiting a teeny bit more bearable. Anyone with more info on this mysterious duo would be greatly appreciated. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .
