Sinister: thanks billions for marriage help
by tinystar＠worldy.com 23 Apr '98

23 Apr '98

Hello, I just wanted to extend a massive thanks to those of you who took the time to answer the questions I had on marriage. Thanks to you, a fairly attractive mark was mine, and hopefully so will be a spot at university next year. I may have to call on your help again, but you can rest easy for now. Thanks again, you were most helpful. truly, jessica ***************************************************************** Someone had spied on us, I suppose, as we sat beside the canal and ate the sandwiches, drinking not even orangeade or Coca-Cola but hot milk out of a thermos. **************************************************************** t i n y s t a r @ w o r l d y . c o m ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Sinister: sinister extra-curricular activities
by Schaffenberger 23 Apr '98

23 Apr '98

I hereby declare that BRADFORD is the funniest person on this list. (I have to flatter him a bit, though, since he was responsible for sending me my Tigermilk.) Since SARAH has given me no word as to whether I may join the cheerleading squad, I am starting a new movement. In the true tradition and spirit of high school, we should all be involved in extra-curricular Sinister activities. I know GENEVEIVE and I are both photographers, and I think there is someone here who works at a lab, so I nominate us to head the SINISTER PHOTOGRAPHY CLUB. Those of you with instruments can be the SINISTER MARCHING BAND. We could also have sports teams and such. Maybe an environmental club also? And a drama club? What else? So who's joining what? Everyone should form their own clubs, and, in true joiner spirit, anyone can join any club. Yay! I thought the forwarded horoscopes were hilarious. Maybe because I got the best of the lot. I'm a communist Taurus rather than an incestuous, prison bound whatever. I'm sure this was discussed before I ever joined the list, but Fox in the Snow is a painting. By whom, I don't know. But maybe this topic could stand revival. I'm sure someone knows. Also, Trembling Blue Stars used to be Northern Picture Library. Again, something everyone probably already knows, but I thought it should be passed on. Where are the rest of the Americans? Maybe we've been hiding out because we don't understand such terms as "crikey?" Must go write a term paper now. Love to all. -Kristen ----------------------------------------------------------------------- . This message was brought to you by the Sinister mailing list. .

Sinister: more unhappy b+s graffiti
by plaird 23 Apr '98

23 Apr '98

Hello Peeps, Did anyone see the Vid for Century of Fakers on MTVs Alternative Nation Tues night? Personally I hadn't seen it before - bit of a snogfest near the end eh? Katrina never said there would be another 'Scottish' section on the show (which also had Teenage Fanclub, The Delgados and a strange short film from the much hyped Toaster) so it came as a bit of a surprise and I couldn't tape it in time (boo-hoo). David S Mccarthy remarked: >Not all b+s graffiti is in their favour, like this >spotted in the male toilets of Bar Blue by Kelvinbridge underground, >Glasgow: > >What's so belle about Sebastian? Somebody scrawled something on the white walls of The Egg last Saturday, and it wasn't nice either, along the lines of "why all the hype around the shit B&S". I was tempted to reply flame-style but scrubbed the offending words to oblivion instead - it didn't warrant a reply. I've always thought a white-walled club was a bad idea :o). Hey it's late again, Cheerio. The Laird of East Fountainbridge. "An Egg is good for you" - THE EGG Marketing Board ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Sinister: Number 52, Festive Road
by Honey 22 Apr '98

22 Apr '98

My dear friends/lovers, a few quick things: 1. Keith referred to a Word 97 document of all bits off the WWW he's pulled together for bedtime reading - it's at http://www.majordomo.net/sinister/#keithsdoc please note it's 1.6MB (big) and for Microsoft Word 97 ONLY, so if you don't have that version of Word don't download it please. Really, please, because I don't want my server to end up in the bin. Someone ask Keith what he does on beaches. Crikey. 2. Sorry to Andrew Dean for messing up a forward of a mail from him to the list - the one about the Candy Factory interview - it really *was* from him and not some shady owner-sinister, but it's really too dull to tell you why it messed up. Andrew - I'll make those changes to the FAQ in a min. (By the way if anyone's says rude words to Andrew in the next month they'll get the entire 9 months list archive mailed to them translated in morse code - Andrew sent me a CD yesterday I've been looking for for ages - Earwig - and I don't know why noone else gets excited by it, but then I'm old). Yikes. 3. Crushes on people on the list? God I've been through a hundred - I currently have wild fantasies about anyone whose name contains the letter "S". And I don't like any vegetables that start with the letter "A". Fact. Stone the crows and cripes, Carruthers. Tally ho, Honey xxx P.S. Anyone's who's asking me questions about the list, for help, etc etc please be patient - I'm currently in blue-arsed-fly mode. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Oh _great_, I get to be the cow of the show...

Hyup, HUNG OVER, HUNG OVER. Morning after the (boom boom) sixties. Ravenscourt Park beckons.

Sinister: Sunshine
by Huw Jenkins 22 Apr '98

22 Apr '98

What a Beautiful day. Far too good to be sitting in some dreary office watching the glorious sunlight from the window. No, I want to be in a park taking dogs for a walk, playing with frisbies and footballs, and drinking fine bottled cold French larger. Life is so unfair in the working world and it's times like this that I wish I was still a student so that I could just take the afternoon off and doss and listen to Belle & Sebastian whilst the Sun burns my skin. If it's gong to be a day like this when picnic time comes I'll defiantly make the effort to be there(London). Huw
