Someone at work is going to a goth festival in Whitby this weekend, and she says they're allowed to take alcohol. Goths are obviously more trustworthy than twee indie kids. This Burning Effigy, Last Dance and Manuskript are playing. Apparently one of Boyzone used to be in This Burning Effigy. Weird, huh? I hope no one who is travelling to Bowlie from abroad has already set out not knowing that they need two pieces of identification, an accompanying adult, a letter from their parents, and a barcode tattooed on their forehead. The tattoo is so that you can be scanned at random by the big burly security guards. It will make you go "beeep!" but apparently it doesn't hurt at all. If the scanner doesn't recognise your barcode then you are thrown into a big chute which leads to Whitby. Alix said: > that's not fair, mark. i think i shall sulk. anyway, kevan will > be busy with his mudwrestling. And it is about time that I explained what Alix was referring to. As the boys have organised a football tournament for themselves, I thought it might be nice to organise something for the girls. I am pleased to announce the Bowlie mud-wrestling competition, in which any lithe young females are welcome to compete. Full details and entrance forms will be located around the site, and the competition will be taking place on the saturday night. Isobel's celebrity tag team (featuring Amelia Fletcher and Laetitia Sadier, but not Tag) is likely to draw the crowds so get there early.

Sinister: I'm a little teapot, short and stout.
by Robin Stout 20 Apr '99

20 Apr '99

Hello everyone I've just woken up, in the middle of a Nuclear Physics lecture, after spending the morning shuffling around hopelessly in a sort of daze. I can't really work out why but I think Captain Morgan had something to do with it. I felt like someone had siphoned off my blood and replaced it with vegetarian gravy. Anyway, like I said I've just woken up in the middle of the most boring lecture you could imagine, given by a man who looks like he really should have been born as a vole or a hamster or something that burrows instead of a bloke with a piece of chalk that keeps breaking, and I found it strangely fascinating. It's like I've entered a crazy wibbly wobbly world where nothing makes sense. Gah! Maybe it's the pre-Bowlie trauma or something. No teapots? Blimey! Maybe if I bring my own I'll be like the little boy with the snotty nose and greasy shirt whose mum sent him off on Cub camp with a big bag of sweets, so everyone would his friends. And you could all be my friends because I had a teapot, and, oh! I'd be so glad, and then you'd steal my pants and fill them up with ants. No! You bastards! Natasha asked: >Who is the thousandth member? Should >they be let out of the nursery early as an >honourary privilege, or is there a secret tw** >prize lined up for them? A special Twix prize? Maybe I should have re-subscribed. Although I'd have preferred a Double Decker really. Only three days to go. I'd better start packing...

Sinister: more rubbish

Mister Steady Michael and Vicky Lurker (were you actually *in* the Lurkers?), between them, wrote: >>No glass bottles or alcoholic cans are permitted on the site. >>>[hang about, I thought we could bring our own booze ?] So did I...this presumably means that we'll have to put up with overpriced holiday camp swill, or that I've wasted my money on a chalet cos I'll just end up sleeping on the side of the road back from Rye each night, drool dripping from my mouth and binding together the sandy soil into an ungodly alcoholic mud. Maybe. "Before the Romans came to Rye or out to Severn strode, the rolling English drunkard made the rolling English road". Do they mean me? Errr...dunno. Do I get a Poetry Society grant for that little recital, Trousers? >Sainsbury's do nice big plastic bottles of wine. That should fool >them! Sly...any teetotallers coming into the country who fancy bringing me one of those lovely big dutyfree plastic botles of gin they sell at airports? >On a non B&S note...I'd like to buy some Momus, but I've just been to >my local record shop and there was such a massive Momus section, >that I got quite frightened and intimidated. Could someone lovely >recommend a good one to start with (I've searched the archive but to >no avail)? Well, since you ask my opinion, I would strongly recommend none whatsoever, seeing as he's nothing more than a clever-clever smartarse with no ear for a tune and an unerring eye for self- congratulation. If you want a Momus record, I'd recommend the shortest one. HoneyPaul, who will smack my bottom sometime soon (*please*), asked: >Tim, do you like Camel? A question to which there are many answers: 1. Yeah, but I prefer Capstan Full Strength 2. Only if I'm well oiled 3. Only if he's well oiled 4. You calling me a hippy? 5. Ah, you mean the King of Combat? Well yeah, but I prefer the Pup, it's tweeer. And so on. I'd talk filthy reggae/ska, but it'd be naughty. Here goes. I can heartily recommend Lee Perry's 'Roast Duck' / 'Take Back Your Duck' pairing, more or less the entire repertoire of The Versatiles (their 'Push It In' is a stormer) and Prince Buster. I like his dirty cover versions best - 'Big Five' (which is 'Rainy Night In Georgia') and 'Wreck A Pum Pum' (which is 'Little Drummer Boy'). All of the above artistes also made politically conscious records which you could play round The Duke's house without being reprimanded. King of the whole pack, though, is a little known version of 'Raindrops Keep Falling On My Head', by Keith and the Impact Allstars, which is too rude for words, and certainly too rude to be discussed in this forum. Come to think of it, that particular record may stray from the rude into the downright disgusting. Hm. 'Dr. Dick' is also a copper-bottomed classic, too.

Hi there Victoria @ the F T said >>There will be three bands on stage 1 on Friday, five bands on stage 1 >and six on stage 2 on Saturday and Sunday. Entry to these Venues will >be on a first come first serve basis Does that mean that some people might not be able to get in? I mean, surely everyone will throng to B&S on Sunday night....will we all be able to get in??? Apparently offical capacity on the big room is 2300 and there are 2600 going! My mate (who owns a venue) reckons it shouldn't be a problem and muttered something about 'rubber walls', but with all the other mouse nazi rules and regs there could be problems. I mean, we're all quite skinny and fey, aren't we? Or will the 'convenience' store run out of Slimfast by teatime on Friday. It's certainly going to be a bit cosy in there on the Sunday. I'm sure it'll all be OK, its not like we're mods and rockers (although there could be some nasty chinese burns over Mercury Rev), I think it's just because this is the first event of its kind that there seems to be a lot of hassle. xoxo CarsmileSteve (already preparing garlands of flowers to hang around security guards' necks) ---------------------------------------------- carsmilesteve(a)geocities.com visit our website http://fast.to/carsmile 'So tell me what have you got?

Sinister: RE: Bowlditz update (those not sentanced should perhaps ignore.)
by martin＠send.demon.co.uk 20 Apr '99

20 Apr '99

Is it really so? Is the tweekender turning into the bleakender? Will we be made to smile as we queue in neat single file for overpriced flat lager and stale cheese sandwiches? Will we have to walk round in single file and anyone running be shouted at "More haste and less speed Fairbairn-Bottomley smythe" or something? Will cardies be confiscated if they do comply with Bowlie uniform? Will we all have to bed by 10 pm with lights out strictly at 10.30pm? And any chalet hopping will be subject to spotlight searches and forceful rejections (of the premises)? Don't worry all is not lost bring a yellow bib and walk around pretending to be a security guard and carry out random strip searches. In the words of Talk Talk "Errant days filled me, Fed me illusion's gate" sorry I meant "life's what you make it". As for the alcohol restrictions I shall be taking a box of wine minus the box disguised as a colostomy bag. I hope I don't leak it might make the wine taste funny... Martin I shall now be wearing a boiler suit with little arrows on it as well as the carnation. +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Tea bags indeed. I'm afraid I can only stoop so low, and resorting to tea bags would make me the limbo champion of the Northern Hemisphere. ;p The line must be drawn before you find yourself buying Safeway Saver marshmallow cakes instead of Tunnocks Teacakes or Happy Shopper Iron Brew (they don't even spell it correctly!!!) instead of Bar's Irn-Bru ("made from girders in Scotland"). paul. ps: sorry I got carried away, I quite like a nice cup of Tetley, honestly :) What tea does everyone else drink?

Hello all, Apologies if all of the following is replicated on a web-site somewhere, but I thought those Bowlie-bound listees who didn't actually sacrifice their first born at the altar of Ticketweb in February might like to read the bumph said company have just sent to me regarding the Weekender... Some of it is a bit alarming... ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Camber Sands Festival - April 1999 Thank you for booking your Bowlie Weekender tickets with TicketWeb UK.

Sinister: A cup of tea she would admit to me.
by paul sallis 20 Apr '99

20 Apr '99

Dear fluffy bunnykins, cardiefest99 is fast approaching and its becoming increasingly difficult to hide my excitement from my (oblivious) fellow work-a-day slaves. Alas there is an ominous malignant cloud on the horizon (and I don't mean the piss-poor weather), for looking in the festival archives I see that every hut comes complete with a kettle, but there has been absolutely no mention of teapots. How do they expect us to survive an entire long weekend if we do not have access to the life juice that sustains us? What are we to do if we can't have a steaming milky-brew with our KitKat fingers and Ambrosia creamed rice? Please someone help me out, I've already stretched my favourite cardie out of all recognition through nervous agitation, I need to know what the tea situation is else troubled sleepless nights will destroy the fun to come. paul. PS: sorry to all the lovely people who can't make it to Bowlie, I hope all the related emails are not too upsetting for you. Personally I had to sell my soul to the devil and my gran to a brothel to get there. My gran seems quite happy but Satan is seething. _________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
