Sinister: London Bowling: REPORTING BACK
by Ellebelle 02 Jan '03

02 Jan '03

ok i've left it till now to hope that someone else does the REPORTING BACK on the London Bowling. but they haven't (you lazy boys) so it's left to me. so here goes. SINISTER LONDON BOWLING!!!!!! REPORTING BACK HURRAH picture the scene in your mind (North London, cold) look at all the people (well four of them) and take a note of the setting behind (la la la: Bowling Alley) Listen, watch and wait Hope that a few more people will turn up (phone Lord Ken of Sinister a few times, gossip about Mark and decide he's probably had a better offer) An hour later come to the sad conclusion that this is it Go in anyway and start drinking (3 pints and a coke please) start talking (B&S always a safe one to start with) hurridly book the alley (note, only one needed) get the shoes (mine were new you know) go and bowl. Elle was particularly splendid. Getting strikes one moment (well, two of them) and absolutely nothing with the next few (four i believe) balls. whoever you is that all my words and actions come from, i think you could have made me at least win. James, Sam and Paul played rather well but Elle was too overawed about the concept of being out with three charming young men to take any notice of that. Games came to an end. Have no idea who won. Went to pub. Drank more. Talked music, books, sinister gossip (quite shocking) and drank more. all was going splendly until James realised his bag had been stolen. all too drunk to react very much and just said oh. discussed how wonderful Xmas Xchange had been and how much we all loved Mses Llew and Minx. Wondered if they'd consider organising/licencing the concept to allow a Sinister Valentine Card Xchange. Just think - you send a Valentine Card to a Sinistarian and are (almost) guaranteed a similar card from an unknown 'admirer'. it'll help take the pain out of that otherwise horrendous day. the more cards you send, the more cards you receive. now, i know you can just send cards to yourself, but it's not quite the same. what do you reckon? drank more. talked more. listened to remarkably good music argued about exact location of iraq. drank more. pub closed.said goodbyes. went home. Elle reached the lonely depths of surrey, took taxi as still scared by that rapist even though he's now in prison. had argument with taxi driver who called her 'love'. where is the surrey sinister massive when you need it? is it really just elle and james (during holiday times only). anyone else out there willing to own up to the indignity of living in surrey? it's just a part-time massive otherwise. REPORTING BACK TOTALLY OFF TOPIC AND SIGNING OFF BEFORE SHE RANTS HER LIFE AWAY. elle xxx ps. many thanks to Rhona for being my wonderful secret santa. i've eaten the sweets, have failed to save any money yet and have stuck the photo on the front cover of my diary. xxx __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

Everyone asked why you didn't stay and Matt said that you had plans to meet friends for lunch and I realized that I was the "friends". I'm so sorry and would love the opportunity to make it up to you. -Erin From: Erin Sent: Monday, December 30, 2002 08:21 AM To: Dan Subject: RE: Space Cadet How about some time later this week? -Erin From: Dan Sent: Monday, December 30, 2002 08:43 AM To: Erin Subject: RE: Space Cadet I'm not saying this to make you feel bad, I'm just being honest.

Sinister: A round of applause
by Jay Eckard 02 Jan '03

So yo, I was thinking... Everybody go now and thank Miss Laura Llew and Miss Maddie Minx for the whole Grand Sinister Gift Swap. I haven't seen anybody do this and I think we ALL should thank them, even if you didn't get hooked up* cause these ladies worked HARD to organize and supervise it. That, and they're both pretty splendid to begin with.** l'Autre Jay *Laura: he he he. **This testimonial is completely unsolicited. -- "The Posby falls into a Trance In which it does a little Dance."

Sinister: 364 days to go.
by Sam Walton 01 Jan '03

Hello Sinister. Happy new year. It struck me, shortly after midnight, that I never got around to posting my list of favourite records of 2002. I shan't bother now - I feel I've somewhat missed the boat - but I will say that I did like the Lambchop, DJ Shadow and Low records, among others. New year always has a strange air to it, I feel. There's an "enforced fun" element where you have to, regardless of your mood, party. Heck! It's new year's eve! The beginning of a new year! Let's celebrate! I have no real problem with enforced fun, though, as long as its mandatory nature doesn't take away the fun. I was going to have a party at my house, but then that didn't happen, so instead a few of us did went down into the centre of town to watch Big Ben click round from 11:59. I'd never done that before, and it was quite strange; there was so much noise and bustle that you didn't even hear the bells chime. That was perhaps the biggest anti-climax of the lot. It was still an interesting experience though. <<Asm raises a virtual pint>> Here's to all those new resolutions, already broken. love Asm.x ================================ "He's strictly a pain in the ass, but he certainly has a good vocabulary" - Holden Caulfield "He's not the Messiah, he's a very naughty boy" - Mandy Cohen _________________________________________________________________ Protect your PC - get McAfee.com VirusScan Online http://clinic.mcafee.com/clinic/ibuy/campaign.asp?cid=3963 +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: snappy pew wear!!!

hallo there everyone!!! and so this is how the new year starts - a sunny day, a merciful (and somewhat surprising!) lack of champers-hangover, and my new supremes cd to get it off to a poptastic start. i hope you all are doing well, especially those of you who have not been doing so great of late. although all is well with me, reading those posts served to remind me of how much this list has meant to me also in dark times (and good). if i didn't exactly come flooding back with support, know that i do think of you, all, and wish you happier times ahead. so in a way i just want to sentimentalise a little (but just a little, i promise) and say thanks for, for three years now, making my world a little better and brighter everyday. this is for all the people who have made me smile a little every day, or made me see the world a little differently, who reminded me of all the nice there is in the world if we only look or make a little effort, or who helped make me feel a little less alone at crucial times, all the people that i've written to off-list, and who have written back and been ever so nice (i'm so scared of leaving anyone out, but you know who you are), to all the poetry parrots and weakest links and pantomimes, and exchanges (and exchangees!) and picnics and bowling and things (even if i can't get to any of them, it's just good to know they're out there), to marc who gave flesh to the idea, and to all of you lurkers too - it's good to know you're out there too. may you all prosper and be happy, find love and be loved, do something pretty every chance you get (and create them when you don't). if there was another good wish i could think of right now i would wish it on you too, but i'll just leave a blank instead - you each know what you want to put in there: a \ \ \ \ | | | | / / / / sh \ \ \ | | | / / / / oot \ \ | | | / / / / ing s \ \ | | / / / tar to \ \ | / / make \ \| / / it all co \ | / me true! | * . there, i hope it turns out just the way you want! for myself, i hope for a little less death in the next year, yes, that would be nice. that, and a girlfriend... mmh, girlfriend... well, i guess that's about it. tune in next time (i'm not making any promises!) for an account of "what i did in my holidays". until then love and suvvern greetings! JohaN ps. alison tarr: i know it probably isn't there yet, but hang in there: your gift IS on its way! +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.
