Sinister: Drive by shootings and cakes to look forward to.
by David S Mccarthy 07 May '98

All of a sudden there have been millions of postings after a lull over easter what with the picnics and the whole tigermilk on cd debacle so I thought I'd join in the whole post easter postfest with a few observations. Firstly with the unusually dry and sunny bank holiday weather last weekend came the unwelcome but all too familiar leap in drive-by sooper-shooter water pistol shootings rates. While inocently walking through kelvingrove to deliver a birthday cake, myself and my fellow birthday cake deliverers were maliciously attacked my criminals bearing water guns who out of nowhere sped by soaking us with a strange smelling liquid - not quite urine, but not water. After this traumatic event we were fortunate enough to still have the delicious chocolate cake cooked by Lizzy, who unfortunatly missed the Glasgow picnic but will almost certainly attend any Edinburgh one with a similarly delicious cake. Finally for a little b+s content has anyone noticed how b+s are mentioned a couple of times a week on the topical 3 in a row thing on mark and lard in the afternoon. They're always mentioned but never played, which is shocking. David ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Sinister: Brunel Road Packer Maintenance

Oh my dear child, have you been to see anyone about this ? The best I can offer is during the Gulf War I had a dream about coming home from college with a friend. We went in a shop at the bottom of my street to buy some Panini football stickers (don't ask!!). When we got home, we went to my room and were listening to music. I looked out of the bedroom window at the view over the Exe Estuary when a nuclear-type-mushroom-cloud-thingy appeared and obviously everything went brilliant white and we disintegrated and stuff. Bollocks you may think ?? The only thing is, when we went in this shop in my dream the counter was in the wrong place. Not only this, but I couldn't actually see the Exe Estuary from my bedroom window due to the presence of a rather large fir tree in next doors garden. This is where it gets spooky.... Within a week of this dream, the shop changed the counter to the exact position that I had dreamt. Within 2 weeks, my next door neighbour had died, the fir tree died and was subsequently felled and I had a goddamn near perfect view of the Estuary. Bollocks you may think ?? Well I haven't disintegrated yet...so yeah..bollocks. My last post until Monday, so I'll probably slip to about 480th in the pop-pickers-picnic-partying-poetry-posting parade.

Sinister: Last again! Ho-hum.
by babyblu＠gold.globalcafe.co.uk 07 May '98

07 May '98

Hello all, Just wanted to apologise for basically repeating what everyone else said 'bout the London picnic. I subscribe via the digest you see and hadn't read any of the earlier postings. Well done especially to Elizabeth for pre-empting my 'Unbearable Lightness of Being' joke word for word and making me look like a complete Ocean Colour Scene. Still at least no-one else mentioned top pop star/ chartered surveyor Brian from hot new lap-dancing troupe Sacramoosh, sacramoosh, CAN YOU DO THE FANDANGO(?)'s kite rescuing antics. P.S. does anyone have access to any clever scanning type equipment as I want to post some of the now developed photos to the 'Sinister people' site? Stay lucky, Rory (Number 72 with a bullet)xxx ----------------------------------------------------------------------- . This message was brought to you by the Sinister mailing list. .

Sinister: dream a little dream
by Alan Prior 07 May '98

07 May '98

Message text written by G R Thomas >Does having a dream just before you wake up mean anything, like you're in deep sleep and then you suddenly wake up (i.e. I really should be sleeping more?) Oh well...< i always thought that you were only supposed to remember dreams if you woke up in the middle of one... i dunno, i never understood why there had to be big, complicated explanations to things like that. i mean, don't some people say that if you dream about getting teeth extracted it's something to do with sex? why can't it just be that you're afraid of the dentist? i keep having dreams about shirley manson... last night it was that she was lowering burt reynolds down a well in a big red bucket. i have strange dreams. but they're never about teeth or sex or flying or anything, mostly i'm just getting chased by a big shoe... also, i was reading a notes book on 'A Streetcar Named Desire' and the guy was writing about the name DuBois; that it meant 'of the woods' and that therefore it was obviously a phallic symbol. sorry? that person must have the dirtiest mind ever... i mean, who else thinks; 'trees, hmmmm, must be talking about cocks, then'. i think not. yet another wholly pointless post (i *will* get on that list, i *will*) hehehe, love, Debbie xxx. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Sinister: TICKETS!!!
by Andrew James Bonar 07 May '98

07 May '98

Hi everyone I just forgot to mention in my last posting(Shameless self-promotion) that the tickets for 'Macbeth' are available from John Smiths bookshop in University Avenue (i.e. inside the SRC building). Looks at the moment like we might get some groovy storm-type weather for the performances. ' Windswept and interesting' vibes ahoy ! Hopefully once this is over I might have something resembling a life again.... Luv'n'witches, Andy ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Sinister: A Funny Thing Happened...
by afoley＠csc.com 07 May '98

07 May '98

Hello again everyone, Sounds like you people had a great day at the London Picnic on Monday, sounded like a right craic. Sorry I couldn't make it, boo hoo, I wanted to, but I had a bit of an accident whilst in London last Thursday night..... ....As i was walking through the subway, back to the bus stop by Marble Arch, I felt the urgent need to empty my bladder, as you do!! So, I managed to find a good toilet spot halfway up some steps, right under Marble Arch, and proceeded to do what a man's got to do, even commenting on the security camera in the corner, which I noticed when it was far too late! As I was finishing up I turned around and noticed some headlights at the top of the steps. I could just make out the letters between the lights.....P..O..L..I..C..E..... I thought, "Oh dear" or words to that effect, and not wishing to mistaken for impersonating George Michael, proceeded to run back down the steps, and run for dear life as fast as I could through the subway, and as I approached the slope leading up to Park Lane, tripped and fell right over, scuffing my knee, hip and elbow in the process. Just my bloody luck!! Still, I got right back up and continued to run and managed to evade capture! Anyway, I'm still in agony as a result of this, and that is why i couldn't make it to the picnic, but hopefully the next one will be a go-er. I notice in this weeks NME B&S got the "How the F**k did they get in?" award for the Jesus and Mary Chain gig, and also Arab Strap get a bit of a lambasting in the letters page, oh well, you can't please all of the people all of the time I suppose. I notice John mentioned Big Country and their Country Club from the 80's, oh dear, I also succumbed to this, much to my disbelief today, still I was only young! Somebody else asked about embarrasing records, well apart from some Big Country (they really did seem quite good at the time), I've got a few classics....Cutting Crew, Curiosity Killed The Cat, even bloody Thriller, but they're all in extremely good nick, cos they never get played. God weren't the 80's just great? ;o) Which brings me on to Dexy's Midnight Runners, who once appeared on ToTP miming to Jackie Wilson said, with a bloody great picture of darts legend Jocky Wilson behind them - bloody great eh? Anyway, best be off now. Take care everyone and remember Big Brother is always watching you so be careful.... Cheers Ady ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .
