Sinister: Run, rabbit, run!
by Alder, Lucy 14 Sep '99

14 Sep '99

Shit! I missed University Challenge last night - I didn't even know it was on. I was busy polishing my shoes (am I the only person in the world who still bothers with this thankless task?). I am now in the depths of despair. My superiority in terms of correct answers is yet to be beat, except by my Dad (who is a Brain), but it's the start of the season and I need a bit of practice. The only ones I can't get are sciencey and mathsy, but I still take pot-shot guesses and get the odd one right. My best score so far is 31 in a single programme - I hereby lay down the gauntlet to anyone who reckons they can top that. Talking of laying down the gauntlet, il signor Casarotto threatened violence against anyone who spake of the ingredients in black pudding. BLOOD AND GUTS - come and have a go, if you think you're hard enough! Mmmmm, I'm quite the pugilist today. Must be the fact that I HATE, HATE, HATE my job, but they've just gone and offered me permanent work with the company. I'm thinking of selling my soul - I reckon I could wangle a fair bit of cash out of them - but is it worth the stress, long hours and loss of the career path I so eagerly mapped out for myself when I left Uni last year? While idly browsing through the crush list, I notice somebody has voted for me. Oh, poor misguided creature, you! You obviously have never met me in the flesh. I can't wait for all the exciting things happening in London at the weekend. It's very good timing, as my dear friend Mo is coming across from Italy to go to Leeds Uni for the year, but she's coming to London on Thursday to visit me before heading north. I'll try to find another shop selling fortune cookies before the picnic. In fact, I was thinking of bringing along only food with messages on - are Love Hearts a bit too girlie and cute? Actually, I can't think of any other message food that would be suitable for picnics. Alphabetti Spaghetti is a bit messy. Cold Alpha-bites have the texture of cardboard (this is the voice of experience speaking). Maybe I could make fairy cakes and ice messages onto the top of them. Then I can make them as rude as I like. As regards alcohol, the only message is "Don't do it, kids!" (only joking) Must go and get some lunch. There's a place round the corner with rabbit stew on the specials board - yum yum!

Sinister: circus boys
by Robin Stout 14 Sep '99

14 Sep '99

Someone's mum said I looked like Jeremy Paxman once. "Oooh yes, he's a lovely boy. Reminded me of that nice bloke off the telly, Jeremy Paxman." I think this is a compliment in the mind of a middle aged mother. At least I hope so. Oh dear this isn't doing much for my list crush votes. Someone once said I look like Colin Firth, though. I think people have very little imagination when it comes to fellows with curly hair. One of my friends, who is incidentally heterosexual, nearly got gay-bashed the other day when a bunch of Addidas boys ran after him shouting "Cocker Knocker". Ah, the delightful fauna of suburban Britain. I wonder what Jarvis would think of becoming a piece of rhyming slang. That's status for anyone. I, like most people, had a dark fear of clowns when I was little, especially Ronald McDonald. Ronald's looking a little porky nowdays isn't he? Anyway, Mister Murdoch reminds me of a travelling trapeze artist with the funny clothes he wears, and that crazy Kids From Fame hat. Trapeze artists are okay, and that moustachioed man who puts his head in the lion's mouth. Although someone really ought to stop him, one of these days he could have a nasty accident. Errr... Um...

by Miette76＠aol.com 14 Sep '99

14 Sep '99

hello.Realizing that this is possibly the second time i have posted to this list, I suppose i should well exlain my scenario. my friend made a trip to Germany (from america), which is later leading to what would've been the camber sands excursion of ATP. But sincethis show was cancelled, she is in London with nothing to do. If anyone can suggest things to do, as well as hostels which are recommended.. or really anything of suggestion at all i would dearly appreciate it. and does anyone know of Baptiste, the band? I heard they won't be playing since they are looking to replace a member.. possibly the guitarist, but if anyone knows otherwise please tell.:) thank you. esme +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: On the glamourous sadness of circus life
by Arantxa Sanz 14 Sep '99

14 Sep '99

Or on William Messent's glamourous life.How could you get invited at such a posh party?I am ready for any tips.Probably this lad will tell us in his next mail he is on the way to Tuscany invited for a truly exclusive wine tasting when grapes had just been picked by some viscount owning a castle dated in the 14th century or whoever. I had devoted in the past some time to think about why circus atmosphere is so gloomy and makes me feel so depressed. Circus has never been enjoyable for me,not even as a kid, and probably it is related to that 'unrootedness' it oozes.It is unfair beggars and vagrant poor people had never touched me so deeply, though people working in fairs and selling sweet pop corn and so on have the same effect on my guts.Probably i just feel more moved because their way of life embbedds somewhat romanticism , all that stuff about providing joy for others, and my 'mythomaniac' side reacts as very impressed ( Sorry about 'mythomaniac': i know it doesn't mean the same in English, but maybe someone can find the equivalent expression when reading this and suggests me to use it, please!) University Challenge makes me react too.On one side, I am amazed how unliterate and rough I am after 20 years in full time education; on another side, I basically become a psycho killer if Jeremy Paxton is at sight.Some bloke in my department named Ben Hickman is going to participate for Nottingham.I know he would have loved to attend Oxford or Cambridge and he was rejected, so I reckon it would be his revenge to win Trinity at the very final, but that only happens in Hollywood... Any clues on which programms are B&S' folks favourites? Last week I read about Arab Strap and the Pastels' ones.I just remember they liked East Enders! Has anyone a picnic basket to borrow? I promise home-baked apple pie in return A.xxxx +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: So many FACTS, we just can't use 'em
by Cairns, Joe 14 Sep '99

14 Sep '99

Hey Now! READING OVER PEOPLES' SHOULDERS is really quite rude, but provides a veritable schmorgasbord of cold, hard FACTS to speed away your journey. This much I learned on trains in the last 24 hours: FACT Alfred Hitchcock's favourite film was 'Smokey and the Bandit'. FACT No-fi champions Ben & Jason have four songs on the new Martine McCutcheon album. FACT Bert Jansch is playing in Liverpool next week. FACT Sarah Cracknell from The Et has a "vintage poster of Julie Christie" above her mantelpiece". The woman reading out loud from OK Magazine also spotted that Crackers uses Sanatogen Gold - "That's why she looks so good...considering her age" B&S CONTENT Any Wigan Borough lurkers fancy a meetup at THE PIER NITESPOT, THIS WEDNESDAY, for a musical and literary soiree with the enigmatic RAY JAKES? Mail me and we'll arrange summat.

Sinister: yummy.....
by Georgine Skeene 14 Sep '99

14 Sep '99

hayerloo, hello anyway, i'm watching trainspotting, or part of it anyway, so i thought i should write to the list cos ppl bbeen talking about the boys on there....or am i imagining? someone mentioned it. and a friend of mine said she'd had a crush on someone from that movie. but anyway well they're scottish aint they? i guess i'm a weirdoh cos i'm not really looking at the boys. but the gell in the sparkly dress, the underage one, GARRRGHHSS is major babe factor, and also she sounds just like isobel when she talks and she has a skool uniform. bloody hell!!! i only wish my dreams were that good. I WISH. now i ahve the independent film channel, i get to see lots of nudity. (WWWWOOOO!!!) it's a double edged sword though as you can imagine. the hunt saboteurs, i guess is self explanatory, they generally go to fox hunt occasions and fuck s*** up, rabblerousers you could say, the're totally fab as far as i know. i think i had a dream about foxes now i think of it, baby foxes yeah.... *****pretend the naked man is not there********........*******you can do it...********* i think a while back, someone on the list said something about she was walking down teh street, and everything started to seem unreal. i dont' recall who it was but i meant to say something. cos that happens to me all the time, rather often. usually when i'm like sitting with other people and i get distracted. i hear the voices, but in my head it's like i drift off, and i forget who i am and why i was there, then when i'm back in a second i like shake myself trying to remember what was going on, it's like almost an out of body thing. i dotn' really knwo what it is but i've always had that. yeah you can lock me up, awright. i miss my gentle waves tape, i can't listen to the record and i have lost the tape of them in london so no gentle waves for me, it's very sad. if i ever become attracted to boys at any time, i hope its someone like struan, confident enough in his humanhood, and not afraid to be girly and sensitive, a true man of the 90's ern't he. a real genteel lad. howard stern should take some lessons. Sick Boy, is that it?? wow a dead baby, that's pretty weird, jeezus. but the accents sure is pretty, i'm very jealous of the Scots. is that one guy the guy from those CK ads or whatever, the goofy one? my new friend is a shy girl like me, she doesn't do drugs and is vegan and virginal and she will seem quiet but with a bit of light attention can discuss philosophy and stuff at length, it is a relife to talk to someone who doesnt' think i'm strange for preferring quiet coffee shops to loud tequila-swilling parties. really i should have learned by now, after having my heart broken a couple times, to stick to my own species. not that this girl is a love interest, just a friend. she's only bi curious er whatever, and all be fucking damned if i get into that ever again..... back to expressing my bitter heartbreak, love to yall LJ http://members.tripod.com/rebelstrange to the pure, all things are pure--- http://members.tripod.com/rebelstrange/buxoms.html ***The Buxoms: Svengali-free since 1998!!*** ______________________________________________________ Sent by FortuneCity Mail at http://www.fortunecity.com Join now and receive 20Mb of free web space and E-mail +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: William Messent In Full Colour
by William Messent 14 Sep '99

14 Sep '99

Hallo there Andrew said; "I amnot actually in London. Though it is easily reached by train, or my rocket-powered boy racer. [hmmm, now there was a fine band]." Ah, Boyracer. Couldn't agree more. How I miss the punk-pop thrills those kids dished out. Stewart & Nicola from Boyracer now run 555 recordings. You can look at their website if you want. It's at; http://www.tsoft.com/~aelison/555/ Can I add a further 'bollocks' to the plethora of 'bollocks' that have been shouted since the cancellation of All Tamaras Panties. I wasn't even going but I hate to see The Sinister Nation let down. I went to a Dead Posh Party the other day. It was at the house of one of the govenors of HSBC (The High Street Banking Corporation, I believe), and to this day I don't know why I got invited. Free booze, though. It was ace, they had ice sculptures that dispense free cold vodka! I borrowed my mate Joe's slightly ill-fitting tuxedo (ta Joe) and got really really drunk. I even had a big old drunk argument with one of my best friends, and I *never* argue with people. Specially friends. Have I mentioned how I think that drink makes you into a different person entirely and excuses all the bad things that you do whilst drunk? I have now.
