Isobel is truly lovely and I want to protect her. (cue Young Ones quote). She was described by Stewart Lee review of Glastonbury 95 as being a "Brazillian chain-smoking dwarf granny woman", which I think sums her up perfectly.

I'm pissed off, though, cause since I've discovered that I'm not going to the US until October, I realised I was able to go to V98 with my friends. Upon phoning up the ticketline, VISA card gripped in my sweaty paw, the swines have sold out of weekend camping tickets. Arse! Looks like a bloomin' good line up too. Any peeps here daring the "glasters" "experience" this year? Or are you all sane? On Sat, 20 Jun 1998, John F.

Fopp have a couple left for eighty quid each, which is extortianate, but still quite tempting. They almost went onto afore-mentioned VISA card, until I realised that I'd be too scared to open up the packaging. Listened to LAGWAFIS again yesterday. God, I love that album. My views on the singles debate?... Who gives a fuck? All record companies are Satan, all record shops are evil, the charts are rigged, no-one buys records anyway, cancel all festivals, kill all musicians, don't take drugs, kill boyzone, eat more cheese, wear more kahki, paint more rainbows, drink more hooch, don't pay your taxes, shoot all pensioners, and don't stop loving. Oh.. since I typed in that subject line, England have scored. Pish! Oh well, I'll leave it up there to signify that glorious 25 minutes when we thought that they were shafted. Rod.

Sinister: Annual Leave

! Oh my God I'm bored. Huw Boyo wrote : >So, has anybody on this list with real bad hayfever ever been to >Glastonbury? and if so what was it like? Huw, spend the £80 odd quid on hayfever remedies and a personal stereo. Find a field, get off your bollocks, listen to what you want to, roll around in some mud a bit and you won't even notice the difference..only you won't have thousands of strange twats to cope with AND you'll have a personal stereo to show for your money at the end of it. Then Claire Timmins continued : >On the recurring theme of allergies, I would like to disagree with a >previous mail of mine which claimed that cider provokes asthma. I >think it is Heinekein(?!?!?!) that does it, does anyone else find >this? Claire you are so transparent. Clearly you don't have asthma at all. You are merely using this to hide your obvious alcohol problem by going along the bar until you find a drink that does actually give you an asthma attack. I drank Heineken for about 8 years without any reaction but since moving back onto cider I have now been diagnosed as a sufferrererer....I'm sticking to your previous cider theory.

Any >insight would be greatly appreciated!!! God Jason, outside of the major cities the UK is one big open land where excellent live music and sunshine (???) goes without saying. If you are of the Surf/Skate-bum ilk then the South-West could be for you, but be warned...life doesn't get much slower. The only gangs round here are of the bovine variety and they are mad bastards as well....don't know what their political persuasion is. I couldn't tell you a thing about universities cos I'm as thick as pig-shit. Public service e-mailing is what I'm best at.

Sinister: horrible hayfever, annoying asthma.

Hi folks, On the recurring theme of allergies, I would like to disagree with a previous mail of mine which claimed that cider provokes asthma. I think it is Heinekein(?!?!?!) that does it, does anyone else find this? Unrequited love sucks. Bye, Claire. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Sinister: Book Title - Help ?
by Adrian Evans 23 Jun '98

23 Jun '98

Sorry It is I again. This is a really long longshot. As longshots go, this is up there with the longest, but if any of you wonderful people can help I'd be very grateful. A long time ago in a galaxy far far away there was a mighty fine radio show Monday thru Thursday 10 to midnight on Radio One presented by the most offensive two men in the country. They were really quite pleasant, but they supported Manchester City. I'll get to the point. Mark n' Lard....they used to have regular readings from books. One such of these books was Nick Popes *Open Skies Closed Minds* which gave me great enjoyment. Having a conversation with my friends (not the comic book ones) the other day about Christ and disproving theories of his story, I remembered Mn'L once reviewed a book about this very subject with all *gubbins* about the Star of David being a flying saucer etc etc. There wouldn't be one of you literary people out there with an extremely good memory who knows what this book might be. I think it may have been written by a group of American University types surprise, surprise....so it may ring some bells with our trans-atlantic cousins even though they won't know the radio show. Help me please. Oh bugger, a digests just turned up...should take me through to half-three !!! Adrian. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

So, has anybody on this list with real >bad hayfever ever been to Glastonbury? and if so what was it like? Yes, I've been. Hayfever didn't cause me any trouble at all. Mind you, I hadn't developed it then, it's a new trick I've learnt. At the moment I'm pumping myself full of "maritime pine bark" to fend it off. Predictably, it's having little or no effect. Glastonbury itself was pretty pish. I saw some great bands, most of them for about ten minutes before wandering off in search of something a bit more entertaining. Doctor and the Medics and The Frank Chickens spring to mind, complete with special guest Billy Bragg pretending to be a tall building in an earthquake. I kid you not. I think it's probably improved since then. There's usually something like a Hawkwind all-dayer for those who can't afford Glastonbury tickets, and hawkwind cure all known ills, so you might like to consider that option, Huw.

Sinister: Fathers, Gaelic bunnies, steamy bathrooms and sailors
by Martin Conneely 23 Jun '98

23 Jun '98

Genevieve wrote: "i think it's great fathers can like Belle and Sebastian.." It's essential! Everybody who was on the list a few weeks ago _is_ a father, due to Honey's multiple birth before he/she/it went off with post-natal depression and permitted a putsch by the Kid's Programmes Faction. BTW, what if 200 or so of those babies grew up to be porn stars? The first pet plus mother's maiden name would mean a lot of porn stars with similar or even the same names (- there would be a few Rovers out of 200?). And did they all forget Father's Day? Mine did, but my non-list one didn't. And why, in Scotland's hour of need, is the list signature in Spanish? What about Gaelic? In Irish Gaelic, it would be something like "Coin¡n¡ thasach at muid ag can£int amhr in na coin¡n¡ - nach bhfuilimid?" [without accents: "Coinini athasach ata muid - ag canuint amhrain na coinini - nach bhfuilimid?"] "my mother..trying to read too much into the lyrics,she thinks everythings about steamy bathrooms and sailors." If <Songs for Children> is not being used for the new LP title , why not "Steamy bathrooms and sailors"? Or is it too late to stop "He's got the whole world.." being the title at that stage?

Sinister: Pet Rescue
by Mctaggart, Robert 23 Jun '98

23 Jun '98

Hello Teammates, I've been trying to avoid getting drawn into the football debate, but seeing as how last night Dave did some very unkind England baiting to which a strangely animated JJ replied: >Rodeney, I fuckin hate your fucking guts and I hope I never meet you >or else I'm gonna kill you. I bet you wrote this with a smarmy grin >on your obnoxious fat face. > >You cunt Christ JJ, have you been touched by the hand of Rod? Isn't football a wonderful game? All nations playing together in harmony. Anna Chapman, you don't know what you're missing. Angry of Chorlton also wrote: >Oddly enough, until last weekend, I wanted Scotland to do well. >That is, until I encountered the sheer hostility of those jock fucks >who just hated England. Personally, I took no pleasure in England's defeat. After all, I am half English. At no point did I think of the kids who lobbed bricks and spat at me when I was six for being a "haggis basher", or the people who've told me to "fuck off back to Glasgow" at work. No grudge bearer me. The fact that this morning I cheerily drank my coffee from the mug I bought in Transylvania was pure coincidence. And it pained me to see poor little Redscum boys David Beckham, Teddy Sheringham and Paul Scholes looking disconsolate. Still, plucky old England, eh? They did their best, wee souls, and that's the important thing eh? Like Keith, the list's very own Mr Reasonable, I like all British teams to do well. My Mother always told me sarcasm was the lowest form of wit. Hey, JJ, fancy a pint? Now, Wimbledon is upon us, a far more genteel experience. Nice to see our very own Tim Hopkins (that is you, isn't it Tiff?) flying the flab...sorry, flag. Sadly, my all-time tennis hero Mad Goran Ivanisevic has lost the plot entirely, and it just won't be same without him muttering Croatian obscenities to everyone - the opposition, the referee, the crowd, and most of all himself. I've only been to Wimbledon once and ended up sat behind half a dozen psychotic Steffi Graf fans cheering for the lovely German 2, Anke Huber. Shame about Greg Rusedski though, he's a nice man. He changed from a Canadian to a British citizen because he loved his girlfriend, the big ol' lug. Now there's a thought... Love Tagiescu xx PS To had my two cents, Kent Brockman style, to the vinyl v CD debate, everyone I've ever really loved has bought vinyl. I think that's important. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- . This message was brought to you by the Sinister mailing list. .

Sinister: Help!!!
by Jason Brent 23 Jun '98

23 Jun '98

Could anyone out there offer me some insight to a problem I am having? I am moving to England, and I need to choose a Uni to go to. Nowhere in particular, but I like sunshine, live music, skateboarding, and open land. I hate dirty places, gangs, + fascists. The only place I've been in the U.K., is London, and I'm hoping someone out there can save me from a costly mistake. Any insight would be greatly appreciated!!! Thanx JAY

Sinister: Hayfever at Glasto
by Kevan Cooke 23 Jun '98

Huw wondered: > So, has anybody on this list with real bad hayfever ever been > to Glastonbury? and if so what was it like? Oh man, I never even had hayfever until I went there, it was dry and very dusty and how I suffered for the first day. Luckily they sell hayfever remedies on site and I dosed myself up enough to cope. My advice is to take your medicine and go! It may not be the festival that it used to be, but I expect that the security guards will still help you over the perimiter fence for a tenner, and it is still the best festival in the UK.
