Sinister: the fo[u]nt of all knowledge
by Will Salt 13 Aug '00

13 Aug '00

Hello, sinister. Unfortunately, I have a few thoughts which I absolutely *must* share. [pause] [longer pause] Damn, I can't remember what any of them were. Earth-shattering, I assure you. Never mind; you'll just have to make do with whatever's on the top of my head. MUSIC THAT GETS REMEMBERED Lawrence Mikkelsen recently said that 80s music wasn't that bad, really, but all we remember is the stuff that was in the top 40 all the time, and gets on to "Best of the 80s" compilation CDs. Does that mean that B&S's pre-Legal Man stuff is all going to be forgotten except by a small flame-burning minority of fans? (pessimists might, of course, claim that this is the current situation.) PAEDOPHILES AND THE MEDIA I didn't think much of the News Of The World's actions, and aren't going to buy it until I forget to remind myself not to buy it. Since I never buy it for myself anyway, this isn't going to do much harm to Rupert Murdoch's personal fortune, but that's hardly the point. I do think it's a shame that nobody has published their editor's address yet -- or, for that matter, that of her Partner In Sexual Congress, Mr. Ross Kemp ("...this man has committed terrible crimes against acting! OUR CHILDREN have been forced to watch him 'perform' ON NATIONAL TV!"). I am a fan of Natural Justice, but not of lynching the neighbours. (note to non-Brits: Kemp was an actor in the UK soap "Eastenders". His acting "talent" is limited to one thing: Doing a Menacing Look.) EDINBURGH is a bloody awful place to be at this time of year. Far too many tourists. Last Sunday, I went out, forgetting about the Festival Cavalcade, and had to spend an hour sitting in Princes Street Gardens just because I was waiting to cross the road. OK, OK, I could have gone round. But it would've been a long way. And that's not the point. BEING MISTAKENLY THOUGHT TO BE FEMALE Happens to me all the time. I try not to shave too often, which reduces it somewhat. I suppose I could shave my head. THE SUBJECT OF THIS MESSAGE Just the other day, I bought a copy of the sheet music for FYHCYWLAP -- I was walking through Edinburgh, passing the music shop on Queensferry Street, and remembered that it should be in the shops by now. And it was. Anyway, I bought a copy, and noticed that it's all printed in the same font as the album itself, which in turn is the same font used for several other B&S productions -- Tigermilk, for example. Anyway, the question that has been bugging me since is: what font is it? it looks a bit like Century Schoolbook. It also looks like Computer Modern, but the stems of the letters look *slightly* too thick (at least, to my eye). Does anybody know the answer to this? (OK, I'm going to stop now. Sorry to take up your screen.) -- Will Salt +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the undead Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: Juices and the Creamy Sauces
by Kenneth P Y Chu 13 Aug '00

13 Aug '00

Hiya, Hmm, I went to a club called "The Dome" last night with friends and I have had a rather "interesting" evening! 1) World's Worse Conman! If you happen to have 3 pounds on you, it is worth going to Tottenham Court Road to see the world's worse conman! I was walking along yesterday afternoon, and this guy approached me, apparently there's this hostel thing which helps homeless youths and they charge 8 pounds for some kid to live for a month (hmm!) and he is like 3 quid short. And he asks me if I can pay him the money... Being the charitable person that I am, I told him that I'll walk to the hostel with him and pay the money then.. he started to panic then, and muttered something like it's really far away, but, since as you probably know I'm normally rather bored and has nothing better to do, I said that I'll walk with him.. just to see what sort of excuse he'll come up with then. So we spent about 15 minutes walking up and down TCR, and finally arrived at this place which was used to be a hostel, and then he wanted the cash.. I said why don't we go into the place and I'll pay the money then? Then, he said "Oh, if I am seen being paid money to live here the hard kids will beat me up! You don't know what it's like there and they'll bully me, cos, I don't drink or swear like they do!!!" I almost started laughing at that point, but since he put up such a good show I gave him 3 quid anyway (much more innovative than saying "Spare any change mate" next to a cash machine.. If I have money why the hell am I going to a cash machine!!!!). Afterwards I was thinking whether I should have done that, like encouraging him to con people and stuff.. hmm dunno. His "escape" routine was pretty lame tho, after we went into the hostel, of course it's not the hostel anymore and it's moved some place else, so we will walk to the new place, I was hoping that he will just leg it in a spectacular fashion, but instead he met up with one of his mates and then just ignored me.. which was quite boring and I felt conned that I didn't get a better show than that. Never mind. 2) Drunken people On my underground train journey, there were some drunken Northern people harassing the girls, and one by one those girls leave the train at the earliest possible moment, then I got mistaken for being a girl, which was quite funny. The way the guy went "bluddy hill hay's ay lad!" was particularly funny. 3) Drunken bloke Then I was at Tufnell Park waiting for my friends to arrive, sitting on the steps drinking a can of Carling, an old drunk bloke came and sat next to me, and then he gave me some money and asked me to buy him a bottle of brandy, and being a nice lad that I am I went to buy it for him.. hmm I really shouldn't have bought an alcoholic more drinks... I was quite worried that I may have killed him, I hope not. 4) Drunken me Hmm, so that was a rather fun packed evening, and all that was BEFORE I went to the club :) where I was served a pint of Carlsberg for cheap 1.50, but blantantly mixed with cheap wine.. not nice but I suppose it's done its job! Then I had a rather tasty "Cheese and egg burger" in a kebaburger place in Camden. Nik Said.... >>anyway, it's my turn. for those of you in the UK, you will be aware of the NOTW's interesting campaign to tell the lower-class (sorry, thats a flagrant generalisation) twonks who like to riot where known paedophiles live.<< I don't want to say a lot about this but I think that the way the NOTW blantantly cashing in on a little girl who's been killed (which is bad enough) and then portraying itself as heroes is quite disgusting. On a happier note, electric Go-peds are the best thing on Earth!

Sinister: beeswax - fun to chew, fun to burn, is there anything greater?
by Nik Ovenden 13 Aug '00

Hey sinistereenies, gosh, so much has happened, so here goes again: PIXIDUST ain't she been stirring up some insurrections? i'm not complaining, i love it! but then she disappears. Is she an NME mole, sent in to destroy the fragile network of harmonious discontent? or did they underestimate our powers? anyway, it's my turn. for those of you in the UK, you will be aware of the NOTW's interesting campaign to tell the lower-class (sorry, thats a flagrant generalisation) twonks who like to riot where known paedophiles live. after 2 deaths (suicides) relating to this, what should we be doing? my opinion is that since the NOTW have basically violated human rights priviledges (without an apology, may i add), that the government should, at the very least, fine them a substantial amount, if not convict them of (indirect) manslaughter. hey hey, that might be interesting to discuss...if anyone ever reads my messages...he he. the 'over the pond' sinistereenies could join in with their discussion over megan's law - anyone got an opinion? hope so... FREE INTERNET if a kid comes round your house and gives you his username, password and number, is it wrong to use it for free internet calls? i mean, it costs him nothing extra, and we dont have to pay � (insert extortionate fee) to use it! THE ACID HOUSE i am never leaving food out of my eyeshot ever again. EDINBURGH where are the meetups? a friend and i are going to the Dali exhibition, MacHomer and that bloke who lost a quarter of his audience complaining about the holocaust (read the guardian's articles on how the holocaust should now be a minor factor? they put forward a convincing article...i'm not starting a debate on this...yet) READING yippee! 3 festivals in a year...i can see all the bands i missed! SNOW PATROL not long till the new album's out...ooh. LOOPER quitting Jeepster? is mr David not happy or something? i am in the dark here, will someone knowledgable (or more so than me...so thats anyone...) help me out? Ta. well, that's enough. sorry for all that, Love Niko xxx PS is honey better? not the food, the person... __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo!

Sinister: The evilness of reults
by ally 13 Aug '00

13 Aug '00

Does anyone else have exam results looming? I am sure you do, well I just thought I would have a rant about how nasty the A level/university system is over here in the uk. The fact that it is now mid way through August and I still do not know where I am headed to at the very beginning of October makes me angry. And I am so so so scared results day is on Thursday and what do I do if it all goes wrong? I believe that some evil educator has actually sat down and thought of the nastiest possible way to inflict the university application process on us poor wannabe students. Aaaaaaaargh Anyway, on a lighter note I have a brand new job, at the illustrious coffee republic. I'm in the covent gdn branch so if any of you are around I am the one whose uniform is too large and whose hair sticks out at rightangles from the hat. Yesterday a man in a Belle and Seb T shirt walked in and I gave him a smile as I handed him his drink. Sadly I am not good at frothing the milk- I just can't get the hang of it. It stops me from worrying about impending results day, oooh I have butterflies in my stomach just writing about it. To think some examiner already knows my fate- ohno Ally *********************************** chickclick.com http://www.chickclick.com girl sites that don't fake it. http://www.chickmail.com sign up for your free email. http://www.chickshops.com boutique shopping from chickclick.com *********************************** +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the undead Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

On Sun, 13 Aug 2000 02:31:13 +0100 (GMT/BST), give or take a few milliseconds, somebody in the know quoth: > but everyone knows that richard brautigan is the best writer ever...right? right? Yes, absolutely. Well, next to William Faulkner. Brautigan is the master of the (very) short story, IMHO. I find Faulkner's novels more breathtaking though. I don't read anything else anymore.
