Sinister: First and Last and Always
by PJMiller 29 Sep '99

29 Sep '99

I have it on good authority that Roger Daltrey is to get his own programme on Radio 2! Perhaps he will discuss the following bizarre paragraph from the book "Crimes Against Humanity": "In a piece of breathtakingly specious reasoning, the ICJ decided that since "whether nuclear weapons are used leaglly or illegally their effects on health would be the same", the issue was *outside* the scope of the WHO's activities! As one of three dissenting judges observed, noting the evidence of health and environmental devastation wrought by the bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, "to hold as the court has done that these matters do not lie within the competence or scope of activities of the WHO borders on the unreal and smacks of cynicism, and the law is not cynical"." Hmm. I blame Moon the Loon. Rachel Playforth's analysis of the appeal or lack thereof of "A Century of Elvis" pretty much hit the nail on the head for the entire genre of speak-a-pop for me. Of course, that doesn't apply to Margaret Thatcher's reading of The Declaration of Independence over a stirring classical backing, which gves me a stiffy every time. And I'm not the only one. A group of us meet on the first Thursday of every month. At Paul the Deacon's house. Katrina asked which Glasgow football team she should support. All I can say is this: with the advent of satellite pay-per-view television, there's no longer any need for ANYBODY to support any Scottish football teams. However, if you insist, I would suggest going to all the grounds and seeing which one you feel most comfortable in. Death? Pah!

Sinister: MONICA QUEEN
by BabyChris Crystalballs 29 Sep '99

29 Sep '99

the singer on llpg was monica queen, from thrum. Sorry to do this, but could the glasgow listees mail me, in case anyone wants to go to the barrowlands to see pavement in november. I've never seen them before. I love terror twighlight, but it has lost some of the badly-produced charm that the previous pavement albums had. But billie is really good - who else would think of jazzing up "frere jaques"? is astrid williams any good? I thought about buying one of her records the other day, then realised that I had no money left. babychris CRYSTALBALLS __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

Sinister: Eddie Izzard!
by jarkko frantila 29 Sep '99

Well, I'm not about to turn this list into a shoppingthingy, but: I just watched Eddie Izzards "Definete Article" for the second time. Hilarious. Now, since there's little chance in finding any Izzard- videos here in Finland, I was wondering if any of you sweet people in here have Eddie- vids that you'd want to tape me? That's it, thanks a bunch. @--->--- Jake! ps: I like B&S. ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: lord i have a broken heart....
by B.E. Hamilton 29 Sep '99

lovelies of the moon, i was diagnosed as an INFP by Mr. Myers-Briggs. or maybe it was myers and briggs. i'm not sure. but they both told me that i was a flaming introvert who has problems accepting criticism. pish. though it did say i was a nerdy shy eyed pacifist somewhere in there. i watched trainspotting last night. what are the feelings of that movie on the list? i enjoy it immensely, even if it is just another excuse for ewan macgregor to show us what he's got 'down there'. ohhhh the cute girl from anthropology who is nameless now as i don't know her name yet, walked into the random deli i was eating at this afternoon, downtown. it was surreal. our eyes met each others with that 'i know you, but i have nothing to say' look. it was a moment, but it passed. she looks like someone who would like b&s. she has amazing glasses. they look like the NHS ones. i have a thing with girls and stylish glasses. it's my ultimate weakness. take note, if you'd like. several of you may be wondering what the deal is with me and girls and restaurants. the answer is: i have no idea. everyone go get the pete townshend live disc. with a drum machine, it's like stephin merritt sings pete townshend who sings bob dylan. yay. cheers love blake xx the newly diagnosed nerdy shy eyed pacifist http://members.tripod.com/nucleartrout ~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~ "I am not Jesus, though I have the same initials." - Jarvis Cocker +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: ho-de-hum hum humming away...
by Cynthia Someone 29 Sep '99

29 Sep '99

hello everyone: all sorts of talk of death and fall and things and I'm feeling a little quirky today. too much magnetic fields? I didn't think I'd like it at first and now I do. and I do wish I could go for walks and leaves falling and 23 love songs in the queue, but its SF and we're having an Indian summer. It's hot over here. the trees aren't coming apart yet. and when they do, won't the loneliness descend. fall makes me sad. sundays make me sad to, like a nother girl on the list, but I don't know why. aren't sundays supposed to the the beginning of the week? or is it supposed to be the day that signifies the end of work, the end of a period of creation? I've nothing to say about death, really, but I've noticed that all good books mention death in the first 50 pages. Even In watermelon sugar, it's gotta mention death. be sure to mention death in the first 50 pages of the sinister novel. does anyone have the equation for how long a relationship lasts related to how long it takes to get over. is that a calculus equation? I thought, perhaps, it takes twice as long as the relationship to get over it, to which my exboyfriend said "16 months!" (we dated 8 months). he says you never really do get over people. I guess you never really do. everything just sort of stays inside of you and when you are very old, hopefully gracefully old (my goal is to age gracefully), you see it all through everything you've ever gone through. and won't that be something. I would feel like a mountain with so much inside. see what i mean, quirk and quirk again. I just noticed that we are the reborn sinister list. does that make us pure sinisters? or fundamentalist sinisters ;) ? if you're reborn, you know, you get to be a virgin again, automatically. byebye purely sinister cynthia ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: And I never should have said the books that you read were all I loved you for...
by Alasdair Cook MS1996 28 Sep '99

28 Sep '99

Or the records you listened to, obviously. People have talked of death, and of love, and of the stars, and of wanking. But death is what I'm talking about, kids. This might sound weird ("hmm, this sounds weird, I'll delete it") but something which used to drive me up the frigging wall and which still does to a lesser extent is the thought that when you die, assuming there's no afterlife which I do, you're basically unconcious for ever. And the thought of just not knowing anything, not being anything FOR THE REST OF ETERNITY just scared the living shit out of me, and I'm not sure why. Sometimes I used to hate going to sleep just because I would be in that state for a only a few hours. Sorry if I've depressed anyone, but it's not my fault entirely as other people got me thinking about it. Other people being LesleyJo and Archel. Hurry up with that novel. After recovering from the sniffles, glampam did write: > > there seems to have been a few changes since I went away, so for the benefit of all of you with short memories, or the recently released from the nursery, I'm really cool and pretty and everyone on the list loves me to bits!!!! Which, annoyingly enough, is completely true. Damn her pants. Oh, and Helen made us all say "I've got something in my eye" with > some bastard had just run over a cat and not even stopped. > > It was a beautiful cat. We moved it to the side of the road so at least it > would not have to be re run over. I mean wasn't his death bad enough? We > left a note in case the owners were looking for it as it had no collar so we > couldn't ring the owners. Which got me wondering. How did you attach the note to the cat? Did you have to nail it on or something, or did you have a stapler or some sellotape handy? And what did the note say? "If this is your cat then it's dead. Sorry" ? Sorry, I am a cat lover but I also have a strange sense of humour. And Ailsa ranted, as usual: > Sorry, I *always* do this, but I get sick fed up of people being so > bloody judgemental about what people look like, what music they listen > to, whether they look like Belle and Sebastian fans or not, etc etc. > And I've never judged a book by the way it looks, or by the music it > listens to (sorry, guess I'll have to leave the Sinister novel to Archel > as I can't do metaphors), and I don't like people who do so. I was going to say something here but couldn't find the right words and probably would have been misinterpreted anyway. So I won't. But what > the hell do I know, eh? Er, quite a lot actually judging by the 49 (forty nine!) questions you got right on university challenge last night, compared to my thick as pigshit 18. Bloody geniuses. Over to Arantxa: > If Notts. becomes Robin Stout county, it doesn't make me Lady > Marian,hey,Alisdair? Of course it does. But only if I can be Little Ally. Though some people may say I am already. I know what the best Smiths record is, but I'm not going to tell you. Ha ha. Come oan.
