Sinister: On the night shift...
by Gav Roberts 02 Mar '00

02 Mar '00

Here I am, burning the...errm...9:45 oil. Well, it seems later than that. It's assignment time here in sunny (?) Preston, and all the kids are scared, because one lecturer decided to give out the hardest assignment in the world...ever...2. There's a strange man in a body warmer walking round turning off computers. He looks serious, I think he's going to kick us out. Just as well I've stopped for the night. Ho ho, you don't scare me, body warmer man. I just realised I really should have some B&S content, so here it is. I just ordered myself a B&S t-shirt. right, that's that then. Sod it, I'm off to the pub.

My dear list mates << parochial school and/or early 90s big-hair pop metal bands >> Holy cripes on toast, I thought I was the only one with an odd parochial school/hair band connection in my past. Though mine isn't as exciting as a live concert. See, there was this ex-nun who taught...sweet woman but scary as hell when you're in middle school. Anyway...whenever she got frustrated you would yell "Judas Priest" which of course, everyone found hysterical.... Or is that an old saying that the band took its name from? Somebody oughta know the answer to that....hmmmmm...

Sinister: Is it wicked not to care about Brooklyn Beckham?
by Scott Plagenhoef 02 Mar '00

02 Mar '00

hey there popkids. So, at work, while searching the Lexis®-Nexis® Universe in order to find all the latest dirt on Liverpool's attempt to unload Brad Freidel -- the Prem's most expensive cheerleader -- the mind wandered from struggling American footie players to charming Scottish bands (as it so often does). In the process of all of this diddlying and dallying, it was discovered that Our Bel can not only whip up a winsome tune about birds and rivers, but when she gets a bee in her bonnet she has no choice but to put pen to paper and spout off to the tabloids as well. Here are a pair of letters published in the "Dear Jo" column in The Mirror. >From Jan. 6, 2000: WHAT happened to Glasgow? The BBC and ITV showed the millennium celebrations as far away as Tonga, New Zealand, India and the USA. Did Glasgow disappear with the millennium bug? Isobel Campbell, Glasgow >From Dec. 20, 1999: I FIND (sic) it appalling that £48,000 should be spent on a designer toy car for Posh and Becks' nine-month-old baby Brooklyn. When one thinks of the poverty of the children of around the same age in Kosovo and other poor countries sleeping hungry in tents in sub-zero temperatures, it is shocking. I would think that the obscene parents of this spoiled child should look beyond their own ridiculously wealthy little world and help other children who really need it. Isobel Campbell, Glasgow As far as media assasins go, she's no Harry Allen, but it's no "Tree Lullaby" either. Lexis-Nexis also reveals that: * Stuart Murdoch was punched in the face in Decemeber by a man named David Christie, who has teardrops tattoed on his face. * Richard Colburn is a State Senator in Maryland trying to raise awareness of shore erosion aling the banks of the Chesepeake. * Sarah Martin scored 17 points in a convincing 74-31 win for Dayton Christian (15-1) over Jefferson in Ohio girls high school basketball. * Stevie Jackson walked off with $2,500 after winning the Lake Oconee bass fishing contest last month. Sadly, searches for "Wee Karn," "List Mummy," and "Mick Cooke" came up empty. Finally, if anyone could drop me a personal line with any info about a band called Fonda 500 that would be great. I was told that they were on Salako's label, but as I understand it, that is a little outfit called Jeepster. Does anyone anything about these Fonda 500 kids? slipping back into obscurity, scott. +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the undead Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

A place > where you were not allowed > to wear earrings larger than a quarter, or else you > would have a few nuns on > your back. which was surely inspiration for : > Regarding the village: I would like to manage a > brothel/stock brokerage. A Catholic Education has a lot to answer for, if you ask me. But more so if you're Alex Chilton. Apropos of the above tangential thinking, and based on my performance at previous sini nights out - i think my role in any community is clear - i am the Brown Bottle! Unless i've missed it, the spot of village wino has yet to be taken. I hereby promise that i shall : i. shamble around bumping into stuff ii. mumble incoherently iii. assure all i meet (albeit in slightly slurred tones) that they hold the highest of rankings within my personal relationships. then barf on their shoes. so, no change there then. on another note, a friend of mine who wants to go to camber sands for ATP has been let down and needs help. how he expects sympathy when i open mails as above i don't know. however - if anyone knows of a spare place going in any chalets could they let me know asap. i promise he's NOT AT ALL like anyone else mentioned in this mail. apart from the nuns maybe. this page is proudly sponsored by Buckfast.

Sinister: A word that falls by chance, a word that will not do
by oon 02 Mar '00

02 Mar '00

i hear 'Sinister Village' i think 'Jurastic Park' in order to be truly sinister village, we need ACTIONS, THRILLERS, SMUTS, etc. how could sinister people simply settle down as an old sleepy villager. what would sinister people do to/among themselves if there's no dragon to fight with from time to time. i nominate Mr Miller to play the man who got eaten while in the toilet. only a man of his bulky talent can handle such emotionally demanding role. it's a nice thought isn'it? to have many people you like living nearby. i always tell friends that when we can have our own house, we will live next to one another. although at this rate of prosperity, that'd come true when we end up living together in the old people home. talking about old people home, anyone see 'the Sky at Night' on BBC World? i like the sky at night so i wanted to know what it's about. but never once they have any sky, night or day. all they have is two or three very old people talking talking talking. they're so old i didn't change channel out of respect. and anticipation if they might collapse from talkative exhaustion. they didn't. but myself did. (from boredom) no offence intended! i'm sure this show is fascinating to a lot of people. i'm just bored too easily. isn't Being Boring the best song in the world? i love karaoke a lot right now. because i've learned to sing a LOT of new rubbishy songs. because karaoke bar normally only have those kinds of songs. but they're usually easier to sing than good songs anyway. i've just discovered "Anyway that you want me"! the most exhausting song is definitely "I will survive". last time i make it to the end only a few sentence late. but my friends insisted they wouldn't let me sing next time without a handful of speed. (joking, of course) i like those cooey oooey love songs more anyway. some Thai songs give me goosebumps because the words are too crap to be true. one reason why i like foreign language song. at least i don't have to understand the lyrics in case it's bad. actually, i'm writing just to say hello to the lovely people i know and the lovely people i don't know yet. and that my niece is one year old last Sunday. my niece is soOOoooOOo cute. as only your own niece can be. even if she has consistently given you minor injuries all through her one year existence. in fact, what i will remember most about last year is all about how lovely she was. and how sometime she did some spooky things. once she's sitting on the floor with all her assorted toys and looked up at me when i walked past. so i sit down and talked to her a little, telling her that i'm having a cold and have to keep away from her for a while. she listened, smiled, and climbed up to me. normally the starting of eyes poking, hair pulling, or some other 'playful' attacks. but Surprise! she gave me a hug! and pat my shoulder! she was just about 9 months at the time! does 9 months people understand what people talk? i don't really think so. at least Pair still looked more like a wild beastie being than normal human being. once she wanted a book i was reading. when i didn't immediately hand it over to her, her face went red. i thought she's going to poo or something. but no, her nanny said her face went red when she's got angry. okok i was going to say hello, yes and tell people who care that i have a new email now. i'd better stop before some people start to think i escape from "The Sky at Night" my snack of the millenium "Wasabi Green Nuts" - tell your nose how much you care, tell it with wasabi. have a lovely day, oon xxx i can't think of any subject. luckily there's Miss Clarke lovely poem. i was going to choose the french one, to enhance to a higher level of cleverness. but knowing no French, i wouldn't be surprised if Sarah put some naughty French poem instead. now i remember what Alix's said about B&S Lost Bassist. because that's what i thought when i first saw the headline : ) would you like to be my English teacher Lixi? +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the undead Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: ...grb...
by Steven Kado 02 Mar '00

02 Mar '00

it is i again, after a month or so of not posting. no doubt i am totally forgotten and everyone is scratching their heads going 'when did this kado jerk get out of the nursery?' so, are there any other leap babies on th' list or am i the only one. well, if you're out there my cohorts in kindergarten, at least we've got eachother. i spent my special birthday miserable and crying and such. what a dumb fucking birthday that comes every 4 years and builds itself up to be the kind of day that could never actually happen. fucking birthday. fucking unreasonable expectations of happiness. its gotten cold in toronto. someone asked when leap kids have their birthdays in non-leap years. the answer: we DON'T have birthdays in non-leap years. we suffer for everyone so that the calendars work properly and august doesn't end up in winter. yes, and then on to the sinister village. i'm afraid i'd have to opt out of the village lifestyle, (everyone breathes a collective sigh of relief at not having to cohabit with that steve kado twat). i'd have to live in a sinister metropolis, a village just couldn't contain me. also, people in the village would quickly grow sick of having this dumb boy shlepping about the city blasting kraftwerk/stereo total/nintendo theme music out of his boom box and vandalising storefronts with the names of notable advice columnists. also, there wouldn't be a china town in the sinister village, therefore, no odd, over packaged asiatic snack food would be available and also no bad badz maru, hello kitty or kerro kerropi gear would be available. i suppose that i could take the initiative and start up my exotic grocery store but frankly being a grocer doesn't really have much appeal to me. i guess i could also be the sisniter village's bike messenger, but that's not much fun outside of a big city either really. i mean, there probably wouldn't even be cars in the sinister village to make the possibility of getting hit at all exciting. just people smiling and being nice to eachother and driving scooters about maybe. i imagine that lots of tether-ball would go on in the sinister village. i suppose i will never fit in. sorry for the glumness of this post but it was unavoidable. wit is for later, when i am not sending email. steveg kago ______________________________________________________ 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.

Sinister: Frankie was a moke from the block we used to live on....
by Pete Ramsdale 02 Mar '00

02 Mar '00

I went and asked Jeeves what all this 'moke' business is about. Apparently it's old British slang for a donkey. He really did tell me that *ever* so politely, too. I hereby recommend him to the general populace of Sinistown: http://www.ask.co.uk He's great. Blowed if I know how he does it. Probably just on keywords or something boring like that. The deliciously Juicy Lucy said: > What I'd like to know is who's going to do the dodgy jobs in the village? > Who's going to collect our rubbish? Clear out the blocked U-bend? Go down > manholes to monitor the sewerage system? Feed the pigs? Scoop up the dog > pooh on the pavements? There's been far to much luvvie-duvvie crap on the > list lately - it doesn't feel natural. Go on, nominate your worst enemy to > clear up the dogshite, I dare you. > Well, I'm not the sort of person that goes round nominating people to clear up dogshite, but I am willing to take on one of the more dangerous jobs to be had in the blossoming village. I'm corrently reading "Mr. Nice" by Howard Marks, and this drug smuggling lark sounds well easy. And a right larf to boot. So, I am volunteering my services as the Sinistown Drug Dealer. Mmmmmmm. Pete Ramsdale, the purveyor of fine herbs and prescribed chemicals, is back. Will we ever be set free?* Oh, and by the way, I've nae skag. Everything else, though - just not heroin. I hate needles. It's why I never started knitting. I see they've had to institute a "best P!O!P! act" at the Brits this year for fear that we might rig the votes again and get Pete Waterman's fawn Chinos in a twist. I just wish there was a "best seven-piece that never perform in public"-type award deal. B&S would be shoe-ins. Sod trying to be witty. I'm off for a smoke. lol p xx. -- -----------------------------*||*-------------------------------- "You take the blue pill, and the story ends.
