Sinister: very quickly
by Gordon 30 Jul '01

30 Jul '01

That was my favourite picnic so far. Everything went a bit awry once I started speaking to the tramp. I stayed in a gorgeous room at the new 'Scotsman' hotel and cuddled up to the very lovely PA to a model who she was attempting to introduce me to at La Belle Angele. Lost my wallet, my phone and have a black eye from an encounter with the hard concrete that meets the unbalanced mind on exiting the bus at Linlithgow station. Two pics so far: http://members.netscapeonline.co.uk/gogron/Gordon's/diary%202001-30-07.htm love you all must dash Gordon :) +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: more picnic report and other random things
by elenita 99 29 Jul '01

29 Jul '01

Picnics are great. I mean, come on, what is more fun that a picnic in a park when the sun is out and the beer is cold? Not many things. I didnt get drunk, that is how good I have been in my picnic mummy's shoes. I was even on time, you see. So we climbed up the hill and had games and crisps and drinks and sweets. Conversations also, as well as songs. Thanks to Priscila for the strawberries and the cream, yes ladies and gentlemen she did it. One point to Ben (it was you, wasnt it?) for bringing a 4 strings guitar AND being able to play music out of it. Another one to all the boys who played football even with the hot weather, we were given to see a couple of VERY red faces. I should underline Mark's undeniable talents with a flute, he did very well. Carsmile, we missed you. And thanks to everyone for showing up, I hope you had fun and didn't get lost (or fell asleep) on the way home. Today I played darts for the second time in my life (the first one was last Sunday, it is becoming an habit already) Strangely enough I always end up in the losing team. Twice this week-end I get out of a pub not drunk, I should maybe worry about myself. If you or your dad need anyone to do any marketing related job and don't mind about me being a graduate, let me know. Job searching is boring me already and I have just started. For once it is warm in Britain, bless the weatherman.

Sinister: I have misplaced my pants
by philip boucher 29 Jul '01

29 Jul '01

hello, John Jennings! --> there was a dinner man at my old high school with this very name, I used to say he had a superhero name, like the normal verson (eric-->bannanaman, clarke kent-->superman, john jennings--> super dinnerman?!?) I want a manchester picnic :-) someone else organise it please, im not too good at this kind of thing. Ive been trying for a while now, but it doesnt seem to be working. I saw 2 people with B+S shirts in manchester the other day (one in vinyl echange, the other (perhaps the same person) at the top of market street) all 2/3 of us had the same t-shirt on. smashing. I have decided that the funniest thing I have ever heard is "I have misplaced my pants" Homer Simpson said it, but it reminds me of leeds last year when we were queueing up for wristbands and a naked guy jumped out of a bush and shouted "Where are my trousers?". From this moment on, I knew it would be a good weekend... _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com/intl.asp +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: Leicester, cyprus, planes etc etc.
by John Jennings 29 Jul '01

29 Jul '01

good morning lovely sinister people, well firstly the leicester picnic photos are at www.ilonline.co.uk/b&s if anyone is interested... theres fuzzy birmingham gig photos there as well..... my holiday... well it was certainly an experience.... cyprus is ultra hot this time of year (it kept getting up to 40 degrees and i kept getting suicidal)... i had to use factor 50 to maintain my paleness... i went to agia napa for a day and it was predictably awful.... full of scary english people... i swam in the sea and almost cut my toe off, i'm not sure what on but my toe has now gone scary shades of various colours.... aaaand on the flight back one of my eardrums burst and the other has done something, which my doctor explained in great detail (i'm sure the words 'blood' and 'goo' were used), but i was concentrating on my foot at the time so i don't really know whats making me have to take 2 different pain killers, antibiotics, a throat spray, an ear spray and sudafed pills at the moment (crikey i'm spaced out).... have we noticed recently in b&s songs a distinct lacks of judys and lisas and belles and sebastians and all these other characters which stuart dreamed up... all the latest songs are just about him. which is a shame. but anyway. these pop stars (hoho). well that was my b&s content, that and the picnic photos. ooh thats two different things. i am being good ;) dum de dum love and other generalised emotions JPFine (<-- ooh aye, 'tis me) +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: mummy i've knelt in a cherry...
by mummy i've grazed my knee 29 Jul '01

29 Jul '01

I don't like being 'the first', it means people look at me. On the other hand I don't like being late. I was late yesterday and Stuart had to give me directions at the top of Primrose Hill on my phone. Everyone turned round and stared at me as I walked towards them. Ooohhh. Feather Boa chose the subject line. She brought cherries and I knelt in one and thought I was dying. Ken Chu was smaller than I thought. I hope Priscila is alright. She brought some Ribena in a glass bottle and drank lots. I think the sun and high sugar free content affected her. I got worried when she asked me who I was for the third time. Mark didn't do anything bad to me, even though I wore my Stow t-shirt and he played the recorder so very well. I had a musical flute, but Mark quite rightly pointed out that it was useless as only I could use it but I didn't know how to play it. At the other end of the scale, Sam Walton was much bigger than I thought. he looks like beans. We had a disagreement about beans. I liked Sam. The Pine Fox was there but I didn't talk to him, he wanted to be with Mark and Trousers and David Moore and the rest of that 'crew'. We had a pop quiz and a pop ball that Elena had provided I think. It came free with TOTP magazine. I don't know much about modern pop music so I was rubbish. Sam told me that my biorhythms were good. I had lots of love. We had a 4 string guitar as well. I think it was Ally96's. Some people played it and we all sang along or said la because we didn't know the words. There were lots of dogs smelling each other. A nice man called Rob Butler came along in an old bus t-shirt. We all liked him. They played football. We didn't. The sun was hot and sticky, woooo ooooohhh. I didn't make many train noises, but I did do the ch ch ch's in Shoot The Sexual Athlete. I stood up once in a while and that made me feel big as I surveyed the smaller looking sinister people below me. What was Ken's funny green stuff? There were other people there and I can't remember them all. Hannah sat next to Sam and so I knew who she was, but I still asked because I was curious about the answer, even though I knew what it was. A boy sat next to me. I think he was Nick? If I am wrong, can he please correct me. he listened a lot. There was nobody called Barry as far as I know. Why was there nobody called Barry? I am sun dazed because it is hot and strange. Chris Jones. +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: Ease Your Feet Off In The Sea
by Will Salt 29 Jul '01

29 Jul '01

Well, B&S day has been and gone, and so has the Scottish Picnic Down By The Sea. As I was Picnic Mummy for the day, I suppose I'd better tell you all what happened. Everyone met up as planned, and managed to catch the trundly branch-line train down to the beach. There was a fair crowd of us---me, gordonpicnicdaddy, sweetie, vic, steve, jo "pigtails are *my* trademark", ian, harry, Jim The Australian, dimitra, andrew, sunnyset, Extremely Tall Chris, Lots Of Other People, and most importantly, Belle, everyone's favourite listpuppy. After walking onto a golf course and making ourselves rather unpopular, we found the beach and wandered along until we found a nice hollow between rocks, in front of a deep, dark cleft probably filled with unimaginable horror. It was nice and secluded, so secluded that half of the picnicers got lost, couldn't find anyone and walked several miles back and forth along the beach. We lit our barbecues, sat and drank, and discussed all the important issues of the day. We even remembered to put food on the barbecues, but forgot to take it off again until our cosy cleft was rather full of smoke. The only way to solve the problem was by inventing the now-famous Olympic sport of barbecue shuffling, pushing them up and down the beach until the smoke went away. Sadly, the beach wasn't really paddling-friendly, but a few people (Belle included) were brave enough to try it. They ended up rather wet, of course. Some people kept getting phone calls from a Mr K P Y Chu, who I'm told is a maths teacher who posts here every couple of months or so. Some people at the other end of the country had decided to have a picnic too, apparently. I'm not sure why they just didn't come along to ours. Sadly, we ran short of drink eventually, and had to go off in search of more. The next picnic is going to be non-alcoholic, so we don't have to worry about that. Some people went off home, some went to the pub, and one just fell over in the sand giggling. I'm not sure who it was, but she sounded like she was from Birmingham. After that, we found the train back to the big city, and had lots more adventures. People were gaily snogging, wildly drinking, and generally enjoying themselves. Sweetie defended the rest of us from a four-foot tall ned who wanted to beat us up, and the list's most belle-oved member sat down and did a poo on the pavement in the middle of the city. But all that's far too long a story for me to tell you about here. Oh, pictures *will* be coming soon. I promise. xx embrapicnicmummygneissy -- http://www.btinternet.com/~wpsalt/ ICQ 66321009 +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

None

Hello Kitties Sorry I wasn't frolicking in the Primrose sun with you yesterday as has become the norm for me of late, but I was on my way back to the big smoke from Madchester and then *had* to go to a 70s party. It's a hard life. Hope you had a fab time wherever you were. Getting home from the party involved wandering round Staines in my cardie, flares and an afro wig in the early hours of this morning; fun at the time but none too clever in retrospect! There was however a chap at said party who was a bit handy with the guitar, I was amazed when he answered in the affirmative to my enquiries as to whether he had heard of B&S. He played and I sang 'I Fought in a War', so I did celebrate B&S Day in my own (t)wee way (hey). I agree about what they've done to Hotmail, especially about changing the ordering in your inbox - most annoying. I think it might have been L Ll who mentioned that? And was it also her who mentioned bug bites? Someone did anyhow. Something bit me the other day and I had to go to hospital 'cos my arm swelled up sooo much. Say 'awww'. I'm glad someone else spoke up in favour of Isobel. I was almost feeling moved to say something aswell. I think she's lovely, and even if you don't the odd funny quip is fine, but that was getting nasty. And were not nasty pasty people are we? Just to confirm this, did anyone record the Aislers Set on Peely the other night? I was working, so although I set my timer (thanks for that tip David) there was no one there to turn the tape over. Right, I'm off to try something else to slake my thirst. Any suggestions - none alcoholic as this is alcohol indused!

Sinister: i'm worth my weight in vinyl
by chris perriman 29 Jul '01

29 Jul '01

hi all, i'm going to norway for free, that's right, free! lucky me - i got a letter from a ferry company with a questionaire and i thought it was one of those 'fill in this form and you could win a trip on one of our ferries' kinda things, but i read it properly and it said that the questionaire had to be filled in on the ship and handed to the information officer. i read all the small print and it seems i'm off on a weekend break to bergen, and i can take up to 3 extra passengers for reduced fares! so my whole band is going. you have to pay for meals, it says, but we're just going to stock up on bread and cheese and stuff and make sandwiches in the cabin - wo hoo! the newcastle picnic seems to be off due to lack of interest (i'm dissapointed in you - grr). well, not off completely, it's just going to be me and carsmile steve getting drunk. somebody mentioned that they didn't want to meet the man because he's (sini)famous, well i've never met *any* sinistreens yet and what better way to start than right at the top (or near the top, he's not quite llaura llew or ken chu now is he?). speaking of the lloverly llascivious miss llew(d), i'd like to say 'i agree' with her points about hotmail's new layout and also, why are the new mails added to the top of the list now instead of the bottom?, i was reading them as usual starting at the top of the pile and people were replying to things that were said a few mails later, most confusing. i am nearly finished downloading the black session from the truly G|R|A|T|E www.belleandsebastian.freeserve.co.uk [go there now, my jedi mind tricks are forcing you to go] i can only get one song per day as it takes 20 minutes to download a 3 minute song, is this normal?, it's prolly my s l o w computer. but they're dead, dead good, so there. WOW!!!!! a stealth bomber just flew past my window!!! there's an air show going on just down the coast today but still, wow! that seems a nice high note to leave on, so i will bye {Pez*} ps Richard Gillanders, yes you, thanks for the corrections to the '... sexual athlete' lyrics, i've listened back and it seems you're right on all counts.

Sinister: A black fox fable (breath)
by Jules Markham 28 Jul '01

28 Jul '01

The Black Fox found Jubilee sat in the garden, her green woolen jumper bundled loosely in her lap. She had been digging in the garden and had uprooted the rosemary bush which lay beside her, it's roots carefully wrapped in a damp cloth. The fox sat down in front of Jubilee and sniffed the air. She smelled of tears and tiredness and a strange, sharp chemical. -Hi fox, she said wearily. The Black fox said nothing. Jubilee brushed her hair out of her eyes, leaving a mark on her cheek from the dirt under her fingernails. -I knew I'd have to give her back one day, she said quietly. The fox gave her a puzzled look. Jubilee laid a protective hand on the green jumper. -The cat... The fox sniffed the jumper, and her ears flattened against her head. The green wool smelled of cat and tears and sudden stillness. She looked up a Jubilee. She opened her mouth to speak, then closed it again. What could be said that Jubilee hadn't already thought? ~What happened? -She was fine last night but this morning she couldn't stand up properly. I took her to the vet and he gave her an X-ray. There was a tumour the size of a walnut behind her eye. The guy said she'd be dead in 3 months, and she's have to be on painkillers for most of it so... Jubilee shrugged her shoulders. -I knew it would happen eventually. ~That you'd have to give her back? Jubilee smiled to herself and nodded. -I stole her. The fox frowned. Jubilee stroked the wool absently. -There was this feral cat who showed up one night. She was pregnant and covered in mud and fleas. i fed her and made up a bed for her, a cardboard box and a blanket, and sat with her all night. The next morning she gave birth to two black and white kittens. One of them was stillborn. It was tiny... I should have wrapped it up and buried it but... I wrapped it up in my skirt and stared at it. Then I picked up a piece of paper and rolled it into a straw. I pushed it down the kittens throat and breathed into it's lungs. One breath. I pulled out the straw and rubbed it's chest and it began to breath. It was alive! Jubilee smiled suddenly. -They both survived the night. Then the day. And the nights and days after that. Months passed and the mother vanished, taking the other kitten with her. My kitten stayed with me. At night she would curl up on the pillow beside me. When I got upin the morning, she would stumble after me. I stole her... I gave her my breath and she lived. -I took her to the veterinarian, and he told me she was dying. I made the decision. I held her when he gave her the injection, and she reached her face up to mine and I bowed my head to meet her. She let out a sudden, sharp gasp of air into my mouth, as if she had held that first breath in her chest all this time, and the time had come to return it. Jubilee closed her eyes. -She'd always go to sleep on this jumper. it seemed the right thing to do. She opened her eyes and carefully stood up. The fox watched as she laid the green bundle in the ground and pushed soil back into the hole. She planted the rosemary on the grave and the black fox touched it with the tip of her nose. ~rememberance, she said softly. Jubilee said nothing, and brushed dirt from her hands. She touched a fingertip to her lips. -One breath, she murmured, the whisper catching on the breeze. _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com/intl.asp +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.
