Sinister: Craig David saves the day
by Lucy Alder 08 Jul '02

Dear lovelies! Did you know that it's less than a month until Sinister's FIFTH birthday? Go shopping for red knickers now! Five years, blimey. Thats a lot of posts. Its worth having a look back some of them are very funny. You can find them all here http://www.missprint.org/sinister/archive.html I actually emerged from the nursery, with my fur still damp and my eyes a-blinking, on Sinisters second birthday, which means Ill be three myself, soon. Ive been having a browse through the archives lately to see who was posting back then and have noticed one or two familiar names. For example, in August 1999, one Tim Hopkins warns strangers to Scotland to watch out for a crooked Glaswegian who goes by the name of Alasdair Cook. Well! I think various amongst us might like to have heard this information before turning up to the picnic on Saturday, where none other than the villain himself was seen violently attacking the shins of the other players on the footie pitch, wallowing in a dirty puddle and he may even have indulged in the foul practice of minesweeping in the pub. Were you watching your drink the whole time? Well, were you? The aforementioned picnic was rather a large one. I will make a stab at a list of those present, but please dont be offended if I miss you off (or if you really *must* be offended, run off and exchange bitchy emails with Richard Gillanders, Sunnyset and Num, who I forgot were at the QMU gig). OK, here goes: me, Ally Cook, Carey Lander, Gav Partick, Sarahluv, Nick Dastoor, Mark Casarotto, picnicmum Idles, Sweetie, Thomas Henderson, Starfire Dave, Sunnyset, Belledog, Stefano, Brian three lines McNeil, Michael Grant, Caity Pig, Richard Gillanders, John Popleague and A BLOODY DOG ON WHEELS, WHICH TWEE FUCKER BROUGHT THAT THEN?!? Ahem. So, theres your list of names and heres your gossip: Holding hands, snogging and at one point I noticed some bitch with her head down Idleberrys cleavage. That Belle, shes such a tart. Hmm, what else? I think Marks one-minute-wank has been mentioned already, but its too good not to repeat (I mean, Im sure hes repeated the feat once or twice). Thomas Henderson revealed himself. As a rival to Ken in the shit hot goalkeeper stakes, I mean, duh! He deserves special props because his perfectly serviceable pair of trousers was ravaged by grass stains, mud and possibly other filth by the end of the game, which ended a most exciting 10-9. I drank a whole can of beer in the park and was not arrested. An awful lot of the afternoon is a complete blur, for the usual reasons, so I can't think of anything else to say except that, of course, I wish you were all there too. ************************* Now for some wanton promotion: The Winchester Club North Woodside Road 13th July, 9pm-2am featuring AEROSPACE (http://aerospace.filur.com/) CHRIS LEONARD (http://www.sleekasounds.co.uk/) DANCING TIL 2AM ************************* Te-ra Juicy Lucy ===== The one, the only Glasgow Indie List! http://groups.yahoo.com/group/glasgow-indie/ __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

Sinister: haikus revealed // weeks twentysix // two thousand and two
by ee fumblings 08 Jul '02

08 Jul '02

I've been reading all of your posts for the past few weeks with great interest. I'm quite scrumptious and filling you know, a bit like a cheese sandwich. I'd betetr explain I have just switched the power back on in the house. Or maybe not. I'll let you know if positive thinking really works. Please don't whinge at me about being rubbish at making arrangements. Marks And Spencers on Sauchiehall Street, in Glasgow. /me holds up her hand. Please don't whinge at me about being rubbish at making arrangements. I'd walked around for days, imagining what this handbag would be like. I think it might have something to be with Stuart Murdoch's big brown eyes. It seems like they play everywhere else expect here and it's just not fair. Coup de Theatre mascara doesn't lengthen at all. Its not true. Pantene Pro V. Its also twice the price. And its not nearly as good. Cos we talk pretty frankly, me and jonesy, about everything. So it looks like my Simon Pegg stalker status shall remain intact. Readers, I'm not sure where I'm headed... sitting here... bored out of my mind. But aren't they why we are all here? When told this story you get grey. Glasgow is going to be full of religous loonies tomorrow. Monday morning with a red hot arse-poker with my name on it. I bought a laptop the other day, and rather spanking it is too. Or lack thereof. Eight years ago, my ex wife and I got a divorce. Jason Cochrane, there's only so many times I want to read your posts. It's surprising how old friends make you feel better. Thanks, Sinister gold. COOK made sure i stopped trying to smoke my ciggie the wrong way around. FUCKING STEWART?! why am i not involved in these? why? why? i feel ill. Too much has changed in this area, and I'm at a complete loss here. I needed to try and quit while I still had a couple of teeth left. // ee // +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: nobody loves me, it's true. not like KEN CHU.
by lindsey baker 07 Jul '02

07 Jul '02

hello sinister. today is an unsatisfying day. i thought it might be. i sat on a proch this morning. well, all night, to be precise about it. talking about love and boys and demystifying the feminine cycle for various people. and eventually talk trailed off and we sat there, rocking in our chairs, looking at the sky lift up. the sun came out, as it always does, but this morning i saw it happen. i heard the first sirens of the morning go screaming past. i was sitting in the same rocking chair when the newspaper was delivered. i had smoked and eaten a cheese sandwich and watched the morning unfold like a flower before me. but it was like a cookie a few weeks old. attractive still, but dry and stale all the way through. and the moment i realized the glory of the day was withering, i realized why i sleep through the dawnings. getting dreary before 10 a.m. is just fucking annoying. i should be able to manage at least until 2 in the afternoon, right when i can lay down for a little siesta, and sleep that off, too. *** i am still irritated that i missed my one perfect packaged opportunity for sinister picnicing bliss. we know who i blame for this, and i had the hickey to prove it. as for the recent sini picnic, this is what i have to say: thigh-stroking? snogging? boozing? wanking? mark casarotto in a sinister girls football shirt? danny farrell performing the famous "rarr"? frisky beagles? ally cook's school of smoking techniques? ROD FUCKING STEWART?! why am i not involved in these? why? why? *** i feel ill. this is short and uninspiring, just as the day has promised. xo love,lou *and for those who can't decide what to call me (i've noticed some recent confusion), feel free to select one or more monikers from the following list. any of them will do: lindsey lou lindsey lou linds misslou miss lindsey lou miss lindsey lindsey baker miss lindsey baker miss baker baker lb baby booms deputy dubs deputy dubs b squared emo (thanks to the daily nebraskan art director) al (if your name is jay) ------------------ THE FOLLOWING IS AN ADVERT FOR EXCELLENCE: never learned how to ride a bike? merely flailed helplessy in a chlorine-laced pool when trying to learn to swim? come to Camp Kids Who Gave Up 2002, sponsored by lindsey baker, dave snyder and conor oberst to learn to ride and swim like nobody's business! while you're temporarily residing on our beautiful, secluded island paradise camp, enjoy lessons from friendly guest instructors such as mandee wright and listen to a different live band every night (we feature saddle creek gems and omaha rapists)! dating lindsey is also an available option, so long as conor is off-island.

Sinister: "I thought I could do it in 30 seconds, but she proved me wrong"
by Caitlin Pigtails 07 Jul '02

07 Jul '02

I laid on my sofa in my PJs this morning, rereading a Douglas Coupland novel and watching swallows circle the blue sky. I suddenly realised that everything I could see from that position outside the window, other than the sky, was grey or beige -- the wall that runs alongside the road, and the other buildings of the housing scheme. The sky, though, was bright blue. Yesterday was Picnic Day, because Big Gay Mark was up in Scotland visiting everyone. We all trooped along to West 13th and stole each other's chips. Mark asked us all how long it takes to have a wank, and the boys decided they wanted to play football. Everyone else followed to watch, except Carey who wanted to sit on her own in the pub. The boys footballed and got all sweaty, I played Tig with idleberry and danny, and Belle had to be protected from an amorous beagle. I wanted to do something intellectual, and write a pastiche, or an acrostic post which spelt out something apt or delightful. That would be too much like work on a sunny Sunday, though. Instead I read a book, and found something which really sums up my attitude to food shopping: "I saw this documentary about how codfish have been gill-netted into extinction in Newfoundland in Canada, so I went out to Burger King to get a Whaler fishwich-type breaded deep-fried filet sandwich while there was still time." (Douglas Coupland, still). After the footballers got tired and/or needed the loo, we wandered over to the Tap on Sauchiehall Street, so we could play pool. The pool tables were crowded though, so we took over the other half of the bar instead. Various couples got romantic, and there was lots of under-table thigh-stroking going on. The normals in the pub pointed and laughed. We all mingled and wandered around a bit, and talked - at least until a loud DJ arrived, and all we could do was shout at the people nearest. When I'm in the supermarket, I look at the fish fridge and I see re-formed oven-crisp-battered lumps of cod and haddock. I think: "but the North Sea is almost a biological desert! Cod and haddock are close to extinction." Then, I think: "which means that in five years I won't be able to get *any* oven-crisp battered fish, with all the bones whipped out. Give it to me now!" I'm a greedy bitch, the same as nearly everyone. Eventually, I had to go and get the train home, so me and Danny wandered off to the Low Level line and packed into a train along with hundreds of Rod Stewart fans. I didn't think any of them were sexy. I wonder what happened at the picnic after I left. Incidentally, Sweetie told me that she went into Burger King, and asked for a cheeseburger. "Um," said the spotty-faced teenage assistant. Stereotyping, me? Yes, as you asked, I *can* use two keyboards at once. Anyway. "Um," said the assistant, "we're out of burgers." It's really not what you expect from somewhere called Burger King. I can understand rival fast-food chains saying things like "Sorry, we're all out of scary white-faced paedophile clowns." I guess there's a warning to us all here. God knows what it actually is, though. love xx caitlin -- http://www.joannou.net/topofthestairs/ "When life gives us lemons, we just sit there and sulk about it, in the corner of the room, in a fetal position." - Matthew Henderson, on the Sinister mailing list. +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: ooh get me away from here i'm dying...
by idleberry 07 Jul '02

07 Jul '02

hullo..... well, I for one am feeling a bit worse for wear this morning. My clothes stink of ciggies, and I'm on the bru (Irn Bru- scottish soft drink, fizzy orange in colour with a synthetic taste, well known for its mystic cure to help aid a hangover into post-hangover. also, til recently, scotlands no.1 best selling soft drink- above coca cola. whch made Scotland the only country in the world where coca cola wasn't the number one soft drink.) I don't know if I had a lot to drink yesterday, it didn't feel like it at the time. Except when my brother was driving me home along the M8, I kept seeing bodies lying in the road. And then realising it wasn't actually bodies at all. It was my imagination. Well, I can't be worse than anyone else, cos nobody else has posted this fine morning in Schottland. Soheres what I recall, and what I'm going to say about the picnic: PRE PICNIC: sitting on the train, I got harrassed by the sectarian bigots, who were the most evil, nasty pieces of work I have ever seen in my life. I gave them a few choice words when they pulled out my earphone and shouted in my ear. These are evil people. EVIL EVIL EVIL. I'm not going to say anything more becuase: a. you will never read so much swearing in your life; b. I have a picnic to report on, and this, although not the greatest start t a picnic, I shouldn't let it spoil a hazey report back to Honey HQ. PICNIC first of all, thanks to Lucy Alder. I might have arranged it, but I didn't have a clue where West 13 was, and had to phone and ask directions. *blush* BRIAN MCNEILL showed us his card trick. MARK CASSAROLE'S first question when i sat down with my drink was about wanking. Something about using a stop watch and timing how long it takes you to get it up. Never tried it, but I can't look at watches now without thinking about the man. ALLY COOK made sure i stopped trying to smoke my ciggie the wrong way around. hmm. There was a football game. Dunno- was it 1-0 or something? Brian brought a fire extinguisher. the lovely BELLE , got chatted up (if you call arse sniffing) by a beagle, who looked a bit frisky. LUCY took lots of photos. MY HAYFEVER behaved itself in the park. A lot of people seemed concerned about whether to mention it to me or not. Och, you know me. I'm all post and no attitude. Well, the hayfever was good, ALL DAY LONG! how happy was I? today though, its come back to haunt me. We all went to the Tap afterwards. there seemed to be a lot of table moving. There was a lot of people there, a lot of whom i didn't actually bother speaking to. Some of whom i spoke to a lot. The rogues gallery I can recall included, Lucy, Ally, Gav, Sarah, me (duhh!) Mark HOTPOT Cassarole (who refuses to answer to hotpot, even though he so *is* a hotpot), Nick, Sweetie, pigtails, dannypie, starfire dave, Carey, sunnyset, stefano, belle, brian, Tom, Michael and anyone else i've forgotten to add. right.. i'm going to let someone else tell the other bits I'm not remembering. love idles xxx ===== http://groups.yahoo.com/group/corduroysmoke/ starting playground gossip and passing notes __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

Sinister: who choked on a peach?
by Mark Casarotto 06 Jul '02

06 Jul '02

Sorry Jason Cochrane, there's only so many times I want to read your posts. I'll leave you to guess how many times that is, but it's not four. Can I expect more in the next digest too? Glasgow pubnic in 50 minutes, so possibly a bit late to be advertising it. I was crammed in a small room with virtually all of Camera Obscura last night (rather than the select cute ones, sigh), and it was indeed as frightening as it sounded. Note to self - never pick up an Edward Gorey book out of curiosity just before going to sleep. "N is for Neville who died of ennui". But it was the girl eviscerated by the huge axe that really got me. Shudder. In the event, I went and had a dream about making inappropriate advances to Jennifer Capriati, who was living at the time with Paul Field. She was NOT best pleased.

Sinister: That game isn't funny anymore
by Fernando Brito 06 Jul '02

06 Jul '02

Hello, Sinister! Last night I was in my bedroom watching the "boobs" episode of Everybody Loves Raymond... the one in which Ray's wife pretends that she made a plastic surgery on her breasts and when she comes out of the toilet to show him his new friends he says "You made two excelent choices!"! Haha! Well, not THAT funny, anyway... Then came the advertisements, so I started zapping... eventually I got to BBC World and what I saw made me jump out of my bed and come running to start writing this post. I didn't finish it last night because Hong, my korean flatmate, was sitting by my side reading what I was writing and I hate when people read something I haven't finished yet... ON BBC World it was showing something like a movie clip, I think it was a trailer because the tv show was called Talking Movies... anyway, it was showing some mental kids playing football and Stars of Track And Field was playing while this kid with brain damage was holding a football. It didn't last more than two or three seconds and the show ended, with ST&F playing. So weird! I didn't have enough time to understand what was that all about, actually I wasn't paying much attention until I heard Stuart Lee Murdoch's voice singing an alternative version of that song... it was a bit slower, but maybe it was the original version, I'm not sure... Now I ask you, guys, do you know something about this tv show or about this supposed movie? That put me insomniac! It was on BBC World, last night, about 21:30 Brazil time (00:30 GMT). ### Another question... Yesterday I was at work talking with my friend Marcos and some girl whose name I don't know, and this girl told us that we were anti-social b/c we never have lunch with the rest of the people there. Actually we are working there just for a short period, soon we'll go away, it's just that we (me and Marcos) just feel more comfortable this way, without people from other companies among us (we're in a project in a big TV network that only hires outsourcing companies, they basically don't have employees, it's just a lot of rival companies, one trying to take the other one's place, and we're shy, after all). We were talking about having lunch and related stuff when Marcos said that I only eat "green stuff", so the girl that we were talking with asked me if I never ate meat. I replied: "Well this is not true, I do eat martians!". Now I ask you: Who is the dumbest? Me, because my joke was too stupid, or them, because they don't know/understand that martians are green, for god's sake?! Please let me know if I'm really as witty as I think I am or just a moron! ### As nobody cared about my shaved head... I had to do something else to stand out. SO I PIERCED MY LEFT EYEBROW! YAY!! I have a piece of metal attached to my face!!! Now I REALLY cause offense by the way I look! And my boss didn't complain at all! In fact he gave me a raise!!! I think I'll hurry and tatto my forehead! Just to see what happens! Maybe they'll make me the president of the company! Speaking of earnings... do you remember that I once wrote that I would have to open a firm because they didn't want to pay the taxes for a well paid employee, so I would call my company "BS"?! Well, the time has come! "BS LTD" Not Bull-Shit as some of you funny guys said, but... you know! Too bad that they delayed this raise too much, so I won't have enough money to go to Spain/Benicassin/Tomatina this year. Sniff... ### Before I leave I'd like to thank Idleberry for being so kind with the "foreign people" and writing a special post for us and all other sans-picnic. Thanks Idles, I was getting upset with all that "picnic-here picnic-there" talking while here in Brazil we are so few and dispersed that it gets impossible to have our own B&S meet-up, so any post that doesn't have to do with B&S fans meeting and doing things together is a good post for me. I know I'm being jealous... damn you, grand-grand-grand... grandfather, you decided to come to this wild land instead of moving to the civilized Britain! ### AWww, yeah! This wild land is the WORLD CHAMPION! PENTA!!! *****!!!!! But I have to admit, this game isn't funny anymore... And we're not that good, but noone can beat us... this is so sad and boring... Brazil is like the Harlem Globe Trotters of football, it's like it's all arranged! SO EASY!!! Kisses and hugs!
