If we're talking classics, it's got to be Bagpuss, Mr. Benn, Chorlton and the Wheelies, Pipkins, Roobarb and Custard, Jamie and the Magic Torch, Hong Kong Phooey, and of course, the unmissable, magical, incomparable (and for that matter, most of the time uninterpretable) Bod.

Sinister: Useless bloody musicians
by stephen hewitt 27 May '99

27 May '99

I sorry people but I'm afriad I'm about to rant. Carsmile are (for the forseeable future) no more, due to the pigheaded niavity of my bassplayer who insists the only way to 'make it' is to move to London NOW, even though we have no contacts or leads or anything and we've only been going a year, and we are *so* not ready to be signed (even though I loved what we were doing, I wouldn't have signed us). And the whole concept of 'making it' it driving me up the wall. They seem to be fixed in some 'Shed Seven/Bluetones/Britpop' tunnel vision, where a record deal will change their lives for the better and solve all their worries and is the only possible solution to their problem. All I want is to make vibrant, exciting art and let as many people as possible hear it and I really don't think that moving to smelly old London on a wing and a prayer would get me any nearer that goal. No bloody staying power these youngsters, they want it all straight away. Ahh, that's better. According to my sources the Inspector Gadget cat was indeed called Madcat, and the Dog on Happy days was called Mr something-or other, and went 'ray-ronzie' and did that thing with his thumbs like Fonzie. Hold on, dogs don't have thumbs. Maybe it was Mr Cool, but I think I might be dreaming that. Now that I am a solo singer (I can't write music, I only do the words) the whole Stars in their Arse thing is looking like a reasonable idea. How do you think Mark E Smith (who I apparently look like) would go down with the grannies (oh what a horrible thought). And enough of this Latin business. It always really pissed me off in Asterix Books when that old geezer said something in Latin, cos I felt I was missing a joke. xoxo Carsmile(hah!)Steve > ---------------------------------------------- > 'Slightly Anal About 80s Pop' > > carsmilesteve(a)geocities.com > > visit the historic record of Carsmile at http://fast.to/carsmile > > 'Anyone need a singer?' > +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: The Cat, the cartoon, and everything after..
by Geyv Kathoke 27 May '99

27 May '99

Apologies first of all, for having no B&S content whatsoever. Just thinking about Inspector Gadget got me thinking and being nostalgic and whimsical about *sniff* the old days and how much better they were. And then I woke up. But seriously, the cat's name was MAD cat, though I never worked out what MAD actually stood for. Mutually Assured Destruction? I just don't know. While we're reminiscing does anyone remember "Cities of Gold". There just isn't enough quality children's television for students to watch when they should be working these days. I had this thought a while ago. It has been my ambition for sometime to find something that annoys me enough for me to be arsed to write to Points of View about it. I have been watching BBC tv constantly for the last three days and I am still as uninspired as ever. Any ideas?

None
by Darren Savage 27 May '99

Hello again Just a couple of thoughts. I think that all pets should be called BASTARD irrespective of gender, species, phylum or what ever. Throkmorten is also acceptable. When I was very small this very mad music teacher at my school had some special bagpipes that had a kind of pump system to blow air into them. I thought at the time that it sounded quite cool; though I think that was mainly because I thought the teacher was cool as he played Velvet Underground records at us. quem deus vult perdere, prius demantat Savage _________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

Sinister: and now the end is near/and so I face the final curtain
by The Narrow Wizard 27 May '99

27 May '99

OK I've got some good news for you people....this is gonna be my last post for a while so you don't have to put up with my rubbish for much longer. my last exam of the year is tomorrow and then I'm leaving uni (and all of the uni pooters) for the summer so I'm gonna unsubscribe in a few days so that I dont have a few thousand messages waiting for me when I get back. I think Dr Claws cat was refered to as madcat (MADcat?) but this question has put me in mind of another question which has been puzzling me and my friends for a couple of years now. There used to be a cartoon version of Happy Days in which the fonz had a dog. Nobody I know can remember the dogs name....can you? good luck to all of the other students who have exams right now. Try not to do what I did in my last exam, I scared the hell out of myself by remembering a fitting latin quote (post hoc ergo propter hoc) and was so shocked by this that I couldnt write anything for quite a while. Well I was dissapointed to see that my wonderful personality (thats a joke by the way) hasn't got me any list crush votes in my stay here..guess I'll have to wait until september when I get back to start a campaign for the veneration of ugly and annoying people. Anyway thats all from me....have a great summer everyone and try to answer that question before I unsubscribe on sunday have a good one and have one for me owen With that the narrow wizard waggled his bushy eyebrows and disappeared in a flash of blue flame leaving behind only a faint smell of cinnamon +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: Hello my beautiful friends - your all stars, all 1100 of you
by Robert Foster 27 May '99

27 May '99

I too saw that Jo Wiley thing last night, B&S are o BBC Choice on Sunday, if anybody out there has digital I would pay you money and offer my body for fun and frolics if you would record it for me. If you think this is a good idea then email untitled(a)compuserve.com and maybe we can come to an arrangement. As for my toe nail (as I'm sure your all riveted) I've just got back from the doctors who changed my dressing, any way, I asked if I could wash my hands and as I was doing so I caught a glimpse of what was in the sink next to the one being used by my good self. It was one of those ladies inspection things, it was soaking in a brown liquid. My guess is that it was tea. It wasn't very big and so if it has to reach the cervix I've got nothing to worry about. ...r u still in 2 it... +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

by Jeanette 27 May '99

Hey, kids! Enough with the cartoons, already! You're making me feel very old, as I've no idea what most of you are talking about. And if another Fraggle Rock thread rears its ugly little head here, I'm gonna scream!!! Sorry. I'll go back under my rock now.

Sinister: I have survived!
by Arantxa Sanz 27 May '99

27 May '99

Hey, howdy mates, I am back, I am ready, I have finished my first year report, and my iniciatic (does this word exist in English?)travel into Science has finished and now I am on the other side. This report has become my own loss of innocence and growing into maturity in a Conradian way. Before getting trascendental , a bit about pets names : the best I ever heard of is 'Comotu', which means in Spanish 'Like you' or 'As you'.It was so confussing when some asked about this dog's name that it turned out to be dead funny, everybody wondering if the dog was called Fernando,Jorge or Cristina. PJ Miller was wrong and Kinky Old Trafford Kids beat that German example of efficient engineering! Manchester was Madchester when I first saw and I love it!YES, sing along We are the Champions with Zoe Ball if you dare right now . I have been listening this ultimate example of the bubbly, spontaneous chick in the late 90's this morning. Blimey, if we are in people's like those hands Listening to 'Just A Modern Rock Song' (not acronyms is my way to say hello to newbies, I really suffered isolation because of them when I first arrived here...)last night while trying to get some asleep in the middle of my stress-storm, I realised it is a grower indeed, as it never caught my attention at first but there is something behind it, underneath it , wherever. It is the most 'principles-declaration'-like song among theirs,this is my humble opinion. Like whispering but proudly, that is Me, these are my ideas, these are my clothes, this is my music, and perhaps it is not enough but I am out there and somebody will love me. Why is this message has turned out melancholic when I have proposed myself to become the new ultimate bubbly TV personality? Why not a Mediterranean dark-eyed bird to substitute that Viking invasion in British channels? Barcelona brought you luck, lads...And did someone watch Eurotrash last night? Definitely, my brain is melting after this sacrifice.

Sinister: B&S on BBC Choice
by David Grant 27 May '99

27 May '99

Greetings Space Cadets The Jo Wiley show (last night) had a brief clip of the B&S documentary to be shown this Sunday 8pm (I think, I was half asleep at the time) on the BBC's digital channel, BBC Choice. Interesting fact: It is narrated by the bloke who did Mr Ben. However I don't have digital. Does anyone?
