FAULTY POWERS I would like to recall Mark Casarotto. YOU DON'T HAVE TO TALK AT ALL Thanks to all those who answered my question re. 'Give Me Back My Dreams'. Yes, that means you. Luckily, I went to see an under-the-weather pop star this week and she told me that the answer was 'What If God Was One Of Us?'. It's a very bold and suggestive guess, but I'm still not 100% sure that that's what I had in mind when I first heard Sally T sing it for a few seconds at Shepherd's Bush, before the security people shepherded me out, and I thought, golly, this is familiar. Any more takers? Give me back my mullets, Mooro. TEENAGE WINTERLUDE Miller, you bore me. You and your CostadelCrime vignettes of encouEnters with Baxendale. Like you know them. as If!?! like, every girl around wants to know baxendale!? and you reckoon you do? Like, no way. !!!>? plus also i know thatyou are not really scotish, and you have neve5 left woking.# yake me off the listr. likw, now!!? HE SCARES THE HEALTH OUT OF ME Tim Hopkins may be long gone but he is still making me ill. Really. Well, possibly. That's my theory. It's a long shot. But they worked against Gary Plumley. GIVE ME BACK MY GARY STEVENS I see that people are begging for the return of favourite characters from the childhood TV programme called 'sinister'. So, I want Steady Mike. Or failing that (and it will be), Edna Welthorpe (Mrs) had better post *properly* soon, or her fans are just going to give up. THURSDAY EVENING My long-term project re. discerning who are the best contemporary songwriters, and what to do about them (dynamite, shark repellent, mysterious flying accident, marriage and children, etc), has led me back to the Clientele. The Clientele have gone in steps, or waves, or some such, for me. The first time I saw them, back when the world was only a little way behind us, I was not overwhelmed, though others were. Then many months later, a day came when they somewhat overwhelmed me. Then months passed again, and I felt the rain on the autumn breeze on the Holloway Road, as you slowly drifted into the night. And as time passed I came to feel that the Clientele might have been talked up a tad by one or two aforementioned folks. But in the last 3 weeks or so I have been listening, belatedly you may say, to their 'album', and I have come right back around to the contents. I have come to find it, however temporarily, virtually indispensable. And somehow that really impressed me. _________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail 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: Don't you want to make this world bright and beautiful and full of hope again?
by JENOWL22＠aol.com 01 Feb '01

Hullo, It seems like no one ever does. Watch out Honey. IsobelLark will start sending you pictures of dead babies. That's what people do to me when they fall out with me and they don't live close enough to kick me in. Every time I saw her name I kept thinking about the Monty Python sketch where the police are investigating a guy about his chocolate company, and how all the chocolates have stuff like crunchy unboned real dead frog, or rams bladder garnished with Lark's Vomit. It probably wouldn't taste grate, but the bit about Lark's Vomit made me think about that. When are the nerds going to rise up and take over. The Ramones told us it would be soon, then The Smiths did. Now Hefner and Belle and Sebastian are inciting Indie Kids everywhere to huddle together in little communities and say "it will be soon". But will it ever be? Will the cardigan and flares come down from the hills and eat all the Hard Kids and piss on their graves. Prolly not. There's another hard kid out to kill me. You want to know why? Cause I didn't say hi to her boyfriend. I was busy doing someone else's Standard Grade Programming assesment (and not for money or anything), and her boyfriend was taking the rip, but still, it is now apparantly a terrible damnable thing to not say hi back to someone who only wants to tell you that they don't like your glasses. Glasses are grate. I wear contact lenses, but not always. Sometimes, you just have to look like a boff. It gets you in the study mood. It's true about the stereotypes though. I got glasses from reading to much and never going out in direct sunlight. I am a mole, and I live in a room. I took Erica's advice and dowloaded Ghetto Fabulous. Well, about 75% of it, then my computer died. But it's very good and funny. It's weird hearing Dog On Wheels like that. But grate anyway. In fact it's on right now. I'm playing it on my little shady napster MP3 player cause nothing else'll work. But I won't mention Napster. Because that's another thing that causes bad karma. Karma is grate. Imbolc is tomorow, but I don't have anyone to celebrate it with. Happy Imbolc to everyone. Struan, I have decided, is going to marry Prince William. Either him, or the guy in Hornblower that plays Kennedy. Jamie Bamber. I've been saying the F-Word more than usual. I think it's exam stress. I had parents night. I hate that. My maths teacher was calling me a slacker cause I only got 85% in the mock credit exam. He's like "I want her to get 100% in the standard grade" and use maths as a career . My music teacher reckons I should do music at university. I can't ever read music, and she hates me. She likes Rainbow Brite though, so she's ok. My English teacher wants me to become a writer. I can't write to save myself. I'm too boring. My chemistry and biology teachers want me to become a doctor. I think i might just do that. My French teacher hates my guts, but wants me to pick his moke-ish subject anyway, prolly cause he like humilliating me, and cause I got full marks in the mocksies. My computing teacher was complaining that I hadn't finished all the practical assesments. I finished and handed them in weeks ago, and I'm now doing everyone elses, because they asked me to. That's why I hate parents night. Teacher are mokes. Pauline L Shivers knows someone called Violette. Hee hee. That's a pretty name. Nazis are bad. One of my friends is a Nazi. He says he's part of the Ayran Race. He's not ever bluddy German. Silly boy. Is is bigoted to say I don't like Nazis? I mean, they did kill people, and that's pretty bad. I quite like french people. I just don't like my french teacher. I don't like the army. I don't see why people think that the best way to resolve politics is to get big men with a mental age of ten to shoot at each other until one side has more dead bodies than the other. Human beings are mad sometimes, really. I would say "sorry to anyone whose in the army". But I'm not really. It's stupid. What about communists? Why do they bother? Bicycle repair man will repair bicycles and squash any threats of international communism. Stop picking on the commies. It's not fair on them. I ate too much cheese, don't blame me. Also, I'm doing Should Gay People Be Allowed to Marry? Being half gay, I fall down on the side of YES. But the nazi with the big chin is doing NO. Because gay people are only ok if they're women and they let men watch/join in. That's what he says. I don't think that at all. It's not like you're either one or the other, but you should at least make sure you're not both at the same time. Did that make sense? Our English teacher who cannot speak English did not like my subject. He said "Do Abortion Instead". I said. "No". He said something in Hindi. When he thought I wasn't listening. But I know. Is it ok to use the words "dyke" and "faggot" if you mean it in a nice way? I still won't get on Stagecoaches. I'll go away and stop bothering you now.

Sinister: the boy who's wearing flares
by Iain Radcliffe 01 Feb '01

01 Feb '01

Hello you lovely bunch, (of coconuts) (This post will be about needing fashion advice and will then segue effortlessly to some really juicy and top CONTENT near the end to tease you and get you all HOT and bothered.) I read Sophiesea's maritime post a while back about the difficulties of purchasing flares. Which reminded me that I still had to fulfil an as yet unfulfilled ambition to purchase a pair of said flared slacks. So I went to Edinburgh, and lo and behold, they had some loverly flares in - and this is the Crraazzy bit - a SHOP! So I bought one pair (brown, corduroy) and one other pair (blue, blue jeans, I wear them everyday - there's no particular reason to change). Trouble is, being flares, they tend to drag somewhat on the ground, much to my consternation, causing scrapage and the like! Do any more experienced flare-wearers have any advice for a mere novice, or is the dragging on the floor like, the whole point? If you have an answer, please noify me by sending up a flare. Moving on to tops (hooded). Because the weather is largely inclement, one is finding that a suitable jacket must be worn over hooded top. The problem being this time that the hood of the top has nowhere to go, and is effectively TRAPPED! Should it be tucked underneath or left to dangle unceremoniously down one's back???? Again fashion advice appreciated in the normal way. After buying said garments, I went to the Egg at the Art College, and gave them their first public outing. And boy did I look just delectable scraping and dragging myself around the floor to the strains of.... ...Seeing Other People. Hoorah, hoorah, hoorah! (It was jolly good). Next week: I'll be discussing bicycle clips - above or below the knee? Mullet - with or without Pat Sharp/Hoddle/Waddle type spike combination? Oh, that wasn't the content by the way. I met Stuart and Isobel ooh letmethink Tuesday or Wednesday down the bookies, and they said they were rehearsing for an eight month world tour of community centres and folk clubs. To start on Feb 29 apparently. Details coming soon at www.wotuhaven'tdeletedyetwhynot?.co.uk Byeee, Iain (who apologies profusely for the crapness) P.S. Another tiresome message of support and admiration for Mistress Honey. Hip hip hooray! _________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail 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: Well i for one love honey!
by Jules Markham 01 Feb '01

01 Feb '01

hey biscuit eaters, I have crawled from my sickbed (stricken with a throat infection where minor things like breathing and swallowing are absolute agony) to bang on the keyboard emphatically and croak HEY! I for one love honey, and she's always been a great listmummy to me and mikey, and I'll not sit here and have her insulted. If anyone has any mean, rude or plain old sarcastic to say to her, then I'll hunt you down and bop you on the head with my darth maul plastic lightsabre! That said, I'm going back to my bed with my evil cough medicine (ingredients:benzoin, treacle,liquorice, ether and chloroform-woar!) and some icecream. jules _________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail 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: Stop Her On Sight (S.O.S.)
by Pauline L. Shivers 01 Feb '01

01 Feb '01

Look now... it's a new century etc! Life cannot be that cruel, especially if you belong to an old aristocratic european family; because we all know that aristocracy is something almost strictly european! You can't find it anywhere else! africa? no! asia? yes OK, there are some really old families there; I've once met a japanese prince; he was an artist and you won't believe what he was doing! he was photographing barbies and Kens after he did some meddling on them! he'd make leather underwear or even put plastic genitals on them and then put them in a room he'd make, like a model you know, arranged them in total s&m positions and would protograph them! then he'd enlarge these photos in poster dimensions and exhibit them! they were really shocking, I'm telling you! back to the aristocracy thingy. America? No! No way! there's no such thing as an american aristocrat! even though I've heard these rumours about american commoners buying english titles! hah! or double 'heh' as someone we all love and respect in this list would say! too bad she's not here anymore to hundred-double 'heh'! I'm sure I'd go in her black list of 'the ones who despise the land of the free and the brave' and if I was lucky I'd go away with an accussation of being a man who had a hard on for her since I'd first read her sparkling fits of intellectualism pseudo-snobbism feministic pestiforous crap! Oh I do definitely have a hard-on for that little vipee! a hard-on indeed! Americans are good in other novelties too! like they are really good in voting! they are so good at that! but of course! america is the cradle of democracy! but anyway, what do I care? the self-appointed thingy though is quite a trademark isn't it? I mean americans tend to self-appoint themselves in various positions! oh we have self-appointed planetmasters, self-appointed peacemakers, self-appointed whatever! and of course the list wouldn't escape the "self-appointed" curse! And don't get me wrong! I have nothing against americans, not on a personal level! no! There are people in here whose posts I love to read; and they are americans! I mean, after all, America gave us a Donna Karan and a Calvin Klein! OK, for the more upper-middle-class fashion victims! Why am I writting all this, you'll ask me! After all, I'm the most apolitical being on earth! I don't give a poo about politics or americans or anything as long as my wallet's full with credit cards I can use to buy all my favourite Gucci accesoires and Miu Miu and Chalayan outfits! so now, after this 'so much unlike me' intro, we're entering the most entertaining, most spicy part of my story! You see, I was in Switzerland for christmas and new year's! swinging around in balls and coctail parties! That's where I met him! an american playboy! member of the jet-set! not the european one! a jet-set-junta or a jet-set-bubba, thing is, he was stalking me like noone else before him! His father owned this telecommunications company, I can't remember the name now and he was living in Philadelphia! what the hell was he doing in Switzerland? What have I done to deserve such a destiny, I kept asking myself, re-running my life just like on a VCR, forwarding some scenes, re-playing some others, stopping with awe on others... nothing to deserve John Francis Kendall! He was one of these men who are so confident for themselves that it ends up to be a blasphemy! his ways were so pediculous, so rude! Needless to say he was such a nummamorous bastard! we first made his aquaintance whilst we were shopping at this very exquisite lingerie shop in Davos, me and Violette... Big aunt Myrtles and Theodor were having a cup of tea at a nearby caf�... Violette and I were completely amazed by this little miu miu set of a pink camisole and matching pink knickers! I had just decided I'd let Violette have the set as I had a similar one in champagne colour, when this man burged in and said - quite loudly - "excusez moi! parlez vous anglais?, in the most horrid american accent! Oh, cover your ears Flaubert, cover your eyes Balzac!! we turned and nodded 'yes' then went back to our shopping! To cut a long story short he introduced himself and said that he knew us; he'd seen us at sir Whoorlthorp's party just the other night! and he knew our aunt! As a matter of fact he claimed that she'd sent him over to tell us that we had been late for lunch! next thing you know, he became such a leech it was unbelievable! He would escort us everywhere with Aunt Myrtles' blessings; you see, he was disgustingly rich! he would be as loud as he could as irritating as humanly possible! He would embarass us in every occasion! he was a Harvard graduate but there was nothing intelligent or refine about his ways! So, one night we were off to this ball! Violette and I were really thrilled about it! our best friend, Laeticia, was coming with us! Laeticia was the most angelic creature! she looks like Kate Moss, just her face does, thank God! cause you know, Kate Moss has a great face but her body... well, I suppose when she's having sex with men she must be always wondering whether she is the object of their lust or their little brother, if you know what I mean! even Theodor likes her body! that must mean something! But Lati is not like that! she has this long hair in a strange red colour and beautiful blue green eyes and has this body that could cause even an archibishop to sin! I was hoping that maybe John would fall for her! But no! He wanted me! So, Lati, Violette and I headed to the ball! we told John we were going by Lati's car and he insisted to come with us! we said no and he went with aunt Myrtles! Lati and I were wearing these long silk dresses that leave your whole back naked till down to the beggining of your bum... Violette was wearing a pink satin dress with a see-through shawl! Lati and I had no underwear on, of course... and John, he was always trying to touch my bare back!I hated his hands! he had fat fingers, and loads of hairs! disgusting! He wanted to dance with me and I said I wouldn't dance as I was really tired! but he wouldn't leave me alone and aunt Myrtles was insisting that I should dance with him! It was so terrible dancing with this American werewolf in Switzerland! With his lupiform hands on my back. Disgusting! I was living up to my name, and shivering constantly. But he seemed to believe that these shivers were from pleasure as he decided to lower his hands towards my bum. Now, I can't blame him. Men find my bum irresistible, it's perfectly shaped - someone once told me that it was just like a peach - and this dress clung to it so tightly, very revealing indeed! But please! It's the bum of an aristocrat, and as such it is exclusive property! I could see Lati and Violette giggling and I felt like dying, having his sweaty, greedy hands on my body! When the music stopped, I ran towards them really pissed off! then Lati said that we should send John - who was heading towards us with that horrible smile all over his face - to bring us some drinks and whilst he was away we'd ran away in Lati's car! Violette was objecting at first worrying about Aunt's wrath, but we talked her into it! So, we sent John for drinks and we escaped! We were driving and driving laughing and singing out loud "say my name say my name" when we saw this club! It's called "electraleen" and we saw a long queue of people waiting outside! we parked the car and went there! and of course we were let in at no time! they were playing Baxendale's "music for girls" as we walked in and with no further delay we headed to the dance floor! what a night!! we met some really interesting people that night! it seemed that the sons and daughters of all the rich and respected families who were spending their holidays in switzerland were there! And Violette was completely swooped by this guy, Gilbert was his name! I didn't like him, I thought there was some sort of pravity about him, and I was right.. but I'll tell you all about him in my next post as I have to leave now... we're participating in a tennis tournament at our club here in Prague and I have to make haste! talk to you soon! Pauline L. Shivers that makes sinister all quivers she's that aristocratic slag who lives and reigns in Prague PS: congratulations to Genevieve for yet another sparkling post indeed! __________________________________________________ Get personalized email addresses from Yahoo!

Sinister: To: sinister@missprint.org
by Nigel R. Townshend 01 Feb '01

[ The following text is in the "ISO-8859-1" character set. ] [ Your display is set for the "US-ASCII" character set. ] [ Some characters may be displayed incorrectly. ] what a strange few days on sinister... nearly as strange as my dream. I was sat at the top of the Meersbrook Park when mr Robson from Grange Hill approached with an elephant which was pulling a christmas tree. We planted the tree and then the elephant ran off! i was like blimey charlie but mr robson explained to me that it was a guard elephant and it often ran about. somebody mentioned Sodastream yey! they are so cool i only have the pickled egg 7" turnstyle its so cool, they were so cool live as well just two men a guitar and a double bass. I shall listen to John Peel everynight till i hear them. If you're bored and have nothing to do, go out for a walk. Go to somewhere you've never been. Look at a map, and go to somewhere just because you like the sound of its name. See what somewhere looks like from a slightly different angle. Take photographs was it will who said that? well being bored nearly all the time due to the fact i do nothing i caught the tram to a place in Sheffield i had never been before but i was dissapointed for all i found was a few swings, a burnt out car and a block of flats. I was too scared to take out my camera. tomorrow i shall go to middelwood where there is a mental asylum. that should be fun. my shocking news came in the form of a bouncer or door police who told me that Chyna and Tripple HHH are engaged in real life!

Sinister: wouldn't it be funny if a cow had a wouldn't it.
by Haynes, Chris 01 Feb '01

hello. well, i'm not really too sure about how to start this, it being my first post. i'm not sure this is the right time to be posting either, during the napster furore that seems to have taken over the list. in fact this mail will probably get caught up in the current and be washed downstream and lost. just a click of the 'next' button on everyone's screens. still 1400 clicks is quite a few. i have been out of the nursery a while now, but haven't yet had the courage to venture forth. while i was in the nursery i was chomping at the bit to get out because there were many tidbits from emails i liked and wanted to comment on. but rather like a squirrel with his or her nuts (whatever takes your fancy), i hid them away and seemed to forget where i put them. infact the only one i remember is something about richard whitely selling out, but that seems a bit pointless now. anyway, the reason i post today is what someone (sorry i forget who) said about being a 'letter snob'. i have to confess to being one too. there is something special about a letter. maybe it's the fact that the person who wrote it has physically touched it, or that they breathed on it. i don't know. but they cetainly have something that emails don't. and i'm not saying that email isn't good, it's great, i mean we wouldn't have the list without it. horses for courses. as for napster i'm not really qualified to say. my connection at home is far too slow to make it worthwhile downloading lots and lots, and usually i get disconnected before it's finished. with most music i like sitting on a bench (i have a thing about benches) and listening to it through headphones, which i can't really do with a desktop. but i do hate the idea of music 'snobbery' too. i have, at best, a mediocre music collection and love it when i come across something new and exciting and if napster helps more people to do that then great. but, rather like the letters v. emails above, i hope it doesn't put and end to mix tapes. i don't have an awful lot of them either, but again there is something more personal about them. knowing and expecting where in the tape there is a gap, a certain noise, the sound of someone pressing the record button, the end of the side. lovely. i know there was more things i would have liked to say, but i won't. cheerio, chris. +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the undead Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: sheep, sheep, sheep, *tree*, sheep
by Will Salt 01 Feb '01

Sorry about the subject line. I can never think of good subject lines. I hope you're all having fun out their in your little worlds. Not throwing bricks or fireworks or anything at each other. Even teddy bears. I was thinking, today, about general things. Well, I was walking along, humming songs from Tigermilk -- as you do -- and idly thinking about things. As you do. And so, I got to humming to myself, "Do something pretty while you can." Now, the ever-alert Joan of Dark pointed out last week that sometimes Belle and Sebastian feel like they've become a way of life. And if you walk down the street humming their songs to yourself, then that must be true. So, therefore, we should all try to do something pretty while we can, in case we can't tomorrow. If someone sends you nasty email, don't rise to it and annoy everyone. Ignore them and the world will be a happier place. If there is someone you love, send them a message and tell them. Wait an hour, and send them another. Keep doing it, and you'll feel like you're together. If they don't know, that's probably not *such* a good idea. They might get scared and never talk to you again. If you're bored and have nothing to do, go out for a walk. Go to somewhere you've never been. Look at a map, and go to somewhere just because you like the sound of its name. See what somewhere looks like from a slightly different angle. Take photographs. If you can't leave the house, don't just watch TV. Do something. Write something, or make something. Do something inspirational, and write a book about it. If nothing else, be nice to a cat; they usually appreciate it. If you don't have a cat, you could always send Princess Honey something nice; I'm sure she would appreciate it too. Whatever you do do, make sure it's something that you enjoy doing. Like humming Tigermilk to yourself, whilst walking through the city. G'night, xx will s. -- Will Salt ICQ 66321009 +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the undead Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.
