Sinister: We love the winter
by Mr Smiley 17 Jan '00

17 Jan '00

Bonjour, Wow!! Two posts! (memo: don't overuse exclamation marks). I'm becoming really prolific now. Somebody told me at school today that Friday the 21st Jan 2000 is the British National Day of Hugging. Apparently, at 12:15 in the p.m. we have to turn to the person on our right, hug them and tell them that you love them and they are a worthwhile person. Now, depending on your level of tweeness, this is great of it makes you want to vomit. The fact that I'm at home at 12:15 on a Friday is neither here nor there. I don't even know if it's true, someone could have just made it up to fulfil his secret fantasy of hugging [insert name of your choice, in case I know any of you]. My weeks have been going quicker, because now, rather than looking forward to the weekend, I dread it more than any other day (even Tuesday). This is because of my job. In case you care, my job involves getting up at 6:30 in the am, walking (or skiing, depending on the level of ice on the pavement/sidewalk) to the smelly train station and getting on a train with smelly people for 45 min, until I get to Sheffield. Once at Sheffield I buy a Melody Maker and sit in the station waiting room for an hour. By then it's about 9:00 in the am. Then I go shopping, or rather I stand in Virgin Megastore because they once played a B&S song and they might just play something other than Eiffel 65. At 9:31 in the am I arrive 1 minute late for work. Work involves phoning up the abusive people of Sheffield and asking them if their papers have been delivered. I feel really guilty. What if I've got a little paperboy fired (the fact that all Sheffield paperboys are arch-criminals is irrelevant). As for the Stars of Track and Field discussion, the best rugby player in the world ever! I quickly learnt the rules. You run away from the ball, and if someone throws it to you for God's sakes get rid off it before 7 people dive on you and stand on your head. Er...that is who you play rugby isn't it? Well, since you've had to listen to my life for far longer than I would bother to read for, I'll be off now.

Sinister: Are you lonesome tonight?
by Llywelynapgwilym＠aol.com 17 Jan '00

Hello everyone, I'll be brief because, having been given a voice, I find myself, as many new born babies do, with nothing intelligable to say. Please accept me. Please nurture me, and, above all else, please come to love and cherish me.

Sinister: eeee! you're more trouble than you're worth
by fiona 17 Jan '00

17 Jan '00

my gran always uses the prefix eeeee when she's shocked / disgusted with something (usually me) not that that's what i think of you lot, in fact oh how i've missed you!!! enough drama, but godammit, 311 emails waiting in my inbox when i get back uni because the bloody thing wouldn't unsubscribe in our time of crisis, its enough to make a girl be arsed to do something, anything except that i'm far too lazy for anything like that. so i'm afraid that i've had to delete a great deal of them unread. but no, now there's more of a crisis, the pressure's on to prove myself once more and be reinstate my mid-table mediocrity on the list crush thingie. for those of you who dislike whinging, i have pleasing news that as a new weeks resolution i decided that for the moment i am going to remain resolutely single. no more whoring myself around the north west or anywhere else for that matter, this kind of thing only succeeds in making me feel cheap and unhappy. unless of course the gorgeous bloke with floppy hair decides to start speaking to me again, but he ignored me on saturday so it doesn't look hopeful. nevermind eh? christmas was a very un-b+s-esque time for me. i don't think i caught a single bus the whole time, my friends in leeds seem to prefer the luxury of catching taxis around town despite the fact that none of them ever have any money, hmm perhaps the two are related. a second mention in one post for my gran, but not so complimentary this time. she was doing my ironing, which i always tell her not to do and lo, she ironed my colourblind t-shirt on the wrong side and smudged the pattern, thus condemning it to the same fate as my uresei yatsura t-shirt ie sitting in my draw for the rest of eternity because i can't bear to throw it out. oh! the humanity!!! i can feel myself getting decidedly longwinded and i have two (TWO) exams tomorrow which i should be revising for, so i will bid you farewell and wish you lots of love and jaffa cakes, fiona ->->-> all men have secrets..... +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the undead Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister(a)missprint.org".

Sinister: and the snow is finally falling & my fair neighbor to the south
by ipecac spice 17 Jan '00

17 Jan '00

hi everybody. it's been snowing for about 24 hours here in halifax/dartmouth. it used to snow here but ever since i started university we've had a mysterious lack of snow. it generally tends to snow and then the rain washes it all away. today the bus was sliding around. kind of scary. i always wonder what is so important that people would actually drive their cars somewhere during a snowstorm. it would take a lot to get me driving around today. joyously the weather led to my afternoon class being cancelled. so i just have to comment on the canada comment by the texan. certainly we are very much like the states. i think that our wishy washy insecurity makes us a bit more humble though. i have nothing against many americans. my cousin is american nd he isn't all that bad. but i have a part-time job in a souvenir store. this past summer we had a lot of cruise ship coming up from new york and those people were some of the worst people i have ever met. they made no effort to understand our money ("can i pay for this in dollars?" not understanding that us canadians have dollars as well) and most of them got really angry that we had to give them canadian change, even though we're really doing them a huge favour by letting them use their currency at all. people from new jersey complained to me that they had come "up here" to get away from the heat and not realizing that it can get hot in the summer here. many of these people expressed surprise that our prices were in canadian. one of the best was the sailor who asked if my parents were american b/c my american was so good! then he said that he thought we all spoke french. anyway. it was all very entertaining but also frustrating at times. i know it was probably not the most representative sample of americans that i saw but they were overwhelming in their ignorance (i could tell more). i don't really know what my point was. i guess just that until people are out of their country you may not get to see them as other nationalities do. sorry for bothering you all with so many posts lately. i have this secret hope that if i keep posting eventually someone will give me a list crush vote. then again people would probably be more likely to vote for me if i agreed to stop posting. i wonder if you get notfied of the crush if you vote for yourself...hmmm... -di "i respect those who have faith even though they are ignorant" -hemingway +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the undead Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister(a)missprint.org".

Sinister: happiness is an option
by Ellen 17 Jan '00

17 Jan '00

PE: the best thing aboutleaving school and moving on to uni is the lack of physical exercise, i dare say. i don't remember having a being-picked-last problem, though, maybe 'cause i never stayed long enough not to be picked. the teacher was either very understanding or just naive - often we could just tell him that we'd "go for a walk" instead of playing football, and he'd let us. usually our "walk" ended at the coffeshop down the street. he must have known. maybe he'd just given up on our poor lazy souls. book: someone mentioned a norweigan book which i remember loving a few years ago..i don't know, but i think the main charachter was called unn. that's my best friend's name too. something made that book special. owl: chapter two in the story about the little jazzy owl in a red jacket: - south park steals the "i love to sing-ah" song and plays it when cartman is in a gangbang with aliens. *sigh* nothing is left innocent and pure nowadays..; ) music: i surprised myself yesterday and bought "nightlife" - the new pet shop boys cd. i didn't think they had more than their passports in common with b&s, but man, was i wrong. i can almost hear stuart m singing "you only tell me you love me when you're drunk". list-crush votes: i'll never have one. sad but true. (come on, prove me wrong..) ; ) love you all /ellen +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the undead Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister(a)missprint.org".

Sinister: look at me
by Erica MacArthur 17 Jan '00

17 Jan '00

Dear List, Hello! oh wow look, it's me! I havent posted since Last year. LAST YEAR. Phew. Though I havent been subcribed, I've been keeping up with the current affairs via the WWW (wank wank wank?) pages. and bloody hell, the list crush has been made all posh, though I do quite like the idea of being notified when I vote for someone who votes for me. Not that anyone will now I'm yesterday's news, sniffle. I was too busy hiding behind the bike sheds while everyone else was running cross country to worry about being picked last. I think butch female P.E teachers should be shot, at least with male P.E teachers you could utter those two magic words "Ladies Problems" and not be bothered. Oh Jesus, I have to go and PAINT naked people now. I promise I shall be writing something of more value soon.

Sinister: the mighty scream, reminiscing and reading reccommendation
by rachel tucker 17 Jan '00

17 Jan '00

hey everyone i went to see primal scream last night and it was the most unbelievably fabulous fantastic gig i have EVER been too!!! they played this tiny venue in oxford which was absolutely heaving, and they crammed 9 people on a stage which has problems accommodating 5, having to squeeze duffy and his keyboard behind one amp stack, and proceeded to create the most amazing sounds i have ever heard. i can't get over how songs that i absolutely adore could be made 10 times better!! i've seen the primals once before and they were good, but this was magnificent. they showcased loads of songs from the new album 'exterminator' which i *think* is out january 31st, which you should all go buy cos on the basis of last night it has to be stunning. every time i close my eyes i can picture bobby gillespie looking just such a rock god, even GRINNING during kowalski!! i didn't think anything could get any better, when as a final encore they played an emotional 'movin' on up'. wow. the whole place erupted, it was mental. i am so happy!! can you tell?! i am listening to 'vanishing point' very loudly now, that is why this post is *even* more disjointed than usual, cos i keep stopping to dance around the living room. my cat thinks i have lost it. she is giving me quizzical looks. when i was younger i was damn good at P.E. i was even in a county cross country competition thing. it nearly killed me though, and i think that was when i started on the slippery slope to become the unfit lazy skiver i am today. first i stopped doing the running events in sports day, and did the jumps instead. i had a bit of a respite by discovering a knack for triple jump, but i really couldn't be arsed. i was in the useless/skiver group while everyone else was doing gcse, which was funny. as we were the sporting scum of the school we only ever did trampolining (pervert teacher alert) or badminton on a continual rotation for two years. now, i am shit scared of heights so there was no way i was jumping on that trampoline. by the time those two years were done they'd got me on the trampoline, where i sat on it clutching to the sides until my 30 second 'go' was over. badminton was hilarious. i am terrible at all sports that involve some sort of racket/stick. and badminton was the worst. did anyone else have leagues where you moved up/down the courts? well our teacher sectioned off the bottom court for myself and my 3 partners in skiving laziness, where we sat and chatted for the lesson. just as long as we turned up, brought our kit and got changed that was fine!! and people moan that schools don't put enough emphasis on sports! maybe i'm just ultra unobservant (which could well be the case) but i'd never noticed jim gilmer's e-mail ending thingy before. it's a jeff noon quote from 'vurt' which is one of the best books ever. just because you can find jeff noon in science fiction sections in bookshops, don't let this put you off. i can't stand 99.9% of science fiction, but jeff noon, he's something else. he draws you into this manchester-based world, and honestly you get in so deep that it's hard to get out again. his books are astonishing, they really are. go read! if you've got this far you will be over the moon to know i am going now, off into my primal scream soundscape lots of love rachel xxx +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the undead Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister(a)missprint.org".

Sinister: chutney ferret
by Sleeka Sounds 17 Jan '00

17 Jan '00

Alright you lot, time to bend over and receive your destiny. Things of importance first: 1. Happy New Year. I know it was ages ago, but I mean it man. 2. Po Caff. I'm performing in trouser's bedroom on the night of the 28th January, and before that I'm playing at the Poetry Cafe and it would be great if you could come but you don't have to no-one's forcing you and it's up to you. Other performers are the foxgloves and Calmer but trousers will probably tell you more about it cos he's great. Hear me now. look at this http://www.glastonbury-festival.co.uk/cgi-bin/vote.pl It's the Glastonbury vote thing. There's one vote for v-twin! Did Jason from v-twin sing in the Gyres before he grew up? I was in John Smith's the bookshop and as well as Stephen Pastel, Jason from V-twin works there. He was listening to oasis. Rock! Apparently Belle and Sebastian were on tour in Germany, and they were playing with conkers, and Stuart Murdoch bent down to pick up a conker, but it wasn't a conker, it was a bit of "dog's dirt". True story. AND I've worked out whose breasts they are all on my own. Still yours, Chris Leonard http://www.users.globalnet.co.uk/~calnd/sleeka/ Stuart Murdoch Fan Page http://www.users.globalnet.co.uk/~calnd/stuart/stuart.htm ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the undead Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister(a)missprint.org".
