Sinister: sometimes there's no poison like a dream
by Dean Gillon 04 Apr '03

04 Apr '03

top of the what-not sinistereenies. Why don't you come and play with the sinistereenies? Have you noticed Doodles from the tweenies sounds exactly like Scooby Doo? I suppose he is a dog though - what do you expect? But what breed of dog is scooby doo? A bag of marbles to the first correct answer who can swear on Tigermilk that they didn'tt cheat and look it up on google (or any other search engine ya devious chuffers) And as for this war thingy - I think I (as officially the hardest and most well endowed person on the list) am going to draw a line under it. Suffice to say that I don't think anyone on here is being anti-american. America is brills and has brought us, oooh, the simpsons, Charles Bukowski (sort of - he's German really), a bloody big canyon, the pixies, loads of cool authours, film makers and artists, Electric Jimi man, "walk on the wildside", gallons more excellent bands and on. I think the thing a lot of people get upset about is american foreign policy, which I'm sure even the americans on here will agree has been a bit piss-poor for the past fifty years. And that's it - anything else and i'll kick you in the shins. really hard too. News from the dean front - got drunk, I passed my masters (i wanted to be a master of the universe but they wouldn't let me, grrrr), and I plan to get drunk over the weekend too. Oh and watch the Grand National - any tips from the sinister gambling ring? CM4 is pretty good but not as good as I'd hoped. I'm leading the mighty Elgin City to European glory and have snapped up Claudio Caniggia. As if! I decree today that I'm coming to the next picnic (after this one - getting drunk - see above) wherever it is. Melbourne or Perth posse, arrange a picnic in a couple of weeks just to annoy me and prove me a dirty liar. Oh and thanks in advance for not ruthlessly mentioning the cricket over the last, well, um, twenty odd years. Whoever mentioned Cat Power - I concur heartily. I also got Har Mar Superstar which is A Bit Different but still good. There's a frankly alarming picture of him in his keks inside though. I warn any of my more sensitive sinister colleagues to avoid like the proverbial. Speaking of Masters of the Universe, why on earth was Skeletor really muscly? He was a twatting Skeleton!! Could never figure out how he moved, saw and spoke too - anyone fill me in? He was blatantly gay too. Gay as a hat that lad - still.... Couldn't believe glasto sold out in 24 hours - gutted! Looks like reading/leeds or t in the park for us! Either that or Finland. I hear it's good and I can say "cheers" "go on my Finnish son" and "suck my dick" in Finnish, thanks to my informal teacher and ex-drinking buddy Teemu. How many Freudians does it take to change a lightbulb? two, one to change the bulb and one to hold the penis. I mean ladder. Enough I think. And no stuffing copies of the radio times down your socks and wittering on about cluster bombs and oil d'ya hear? I've got my big boots on!

Sinister: Whats all this talk of War? Its the Easter holidays
by Ian porter 04 Apr '03

04 Apr '03

Yo Sinister Young Team Krew Theres too much of this war going around, surely we can just agree to disagree. Actually, ignore that, that sounds like pish. Ahem, anyway. Im on holiday now, Im going to Majorca for a week, it will be nice, I'm determined to make it nice. It means I miss out on a party of my friend's though, which is a bad thing, becuase its Jones, and Jones is great. When I get back, I'll have to start proper revision for my exams, that is also a bad thing. But I keep thinking of how GREAT it will be when they're over, I mean, I'll be a SIXTH YEAR! I can just sit around eating biscuits all day, or whatever they do. I've taken adv. higher art though, so I will have some work to do, but it will be work that I want to do, not like Maths, which I wont be taking further. THat'll be strange though, like not having to go to these subjects thatI've had to go to almost daily for like, the last 5 years. I took spanish as well Ole! Someone said the verbs are just like French ones, which should be ok then. A really pointless post, but, erm, Sorry.

Sinister: I don't want to play football
by Sam Walton 04 Apr '03

04 Apr '03

Hello Sinister. Perhaps more controversially than ever, Mark said: >>So, who's enjoying CM4 then? Well, me actually (http://www.sigames.com, for the uninitiated). Im still getting into it but... Perhaps we should set up a SiniCM4 yahoogroup to discuss tactics... <--severe nerd alert. Sorry. Furthermore, it seems that Sinister Fitba is taking over the world, as on starting up my CM4 game with Arsenal, I noticed that one of my scouts is none other than Sinisters favourite wandering star, Peter Miller. Combine that with one Stuart Murdoch on the staff at Wimbledon FC, and its clear that B&S *do* want to play football after all. Perhaps we could use them on Sunday for the Bowlie game. I dont really want to talk about the war, and Im not much of a fan of the White Stripes. I mean, theyre okay, but Im not a huge fan. Ive been listening to a lot of Ben Folds Five and Burt Bacharach recently they float my boat. And the Beach Boys, up to and including Pet Sounds... beautiful harmonies... I'm really looking forward to this weekend, actually... Bowling... drinking... fitba... it should be good. Right then, Im off out to buy a Rooney England kit. See you at the weekend Sinister.

Sinister: 10 Roddington Place
by Mark Casarotto 04 Apr '03

04 Apr '03

Hello again Sinister. One amazing thing about this list is that there are dozens of wonderful people who sadly never seem to post on Sinister any more, but none of them forget how much love they had for it at the time when they were most active. Last night, I was out with 9 other sinisterines, and I think only Dappers and myself actually still post out of all of us. Which is such a shame, as among the number were three or four of the most hilarious, impassioned, fascinating people ever to wear an upside down B&S badge. I'd love to think this kind of brown-nosing might get them to post again, but I'm not counting my chickens. I'm even happy to be the conduit, if you're no longer subscribed... Is Henry Thomas still on the list? It's gone midday, the sun's shining, and I haven't moved from my desk since I got up. Can 29-year-olds get bedsores? And if so, would I need to be prescribed maggots? I'm going to join my public library later today, spurred by Archel's carer choice and my own recent rediscovery of boox. On the train yesterday I was happily reading my "Mansfield Park" when a muttering, tattooed gentleman with a can of Special Brew got on and sat next to me. Turned out he was a reader too! Of "Bronson" (the biography of Britain's most psychotic prisoner), admittedly, but it was heart-warming to know that we both shared a love of the written word. I could've hugged him! So, who's enjoying CM4 then? Toodleoo, Mark xxx http://www.joannou.net/biondino __________________________________________________ Yahoo!

Sinister: Parks and Ankles
by kenneth.chu＠uclh.org 04 Apr '03

04 Apr '03

Hey there, What a beautiful morning today it is, and my mood is up already having seen the sun. Despite having loads of work to do today. Hence why I'm e-mailing sinister I suppose. I made myself a mix tape last night so I can listen to it on my way to work, I don't know why I don't do this more often, my mood is always good when I have music to listen to on the train - I didn't have to scamper and fight for a copy of the Metro any more. Why would I want to read about "woo we've captured an airport whoot go us! yeah baby" when I can listen to "It must be love" by Madness? (Disclaimer: the above story wasn't a social-agressive whatsit. Dunno what one of those are but I don't want to come across as having a propaganda against trains or something) I'm growing to love people a lot more than I used to, like, I seem to now understand people more, and how people who have different points of views can be both good and bad people. How what you believe in isn't what makes you a better or worse person, whether it's the "Right" belief or not. People who go bowling are generally good people, as are girls who wear sandles in parks, ankles are beautiful things. Hope to see some of you guys at bowling or in the park soon. Ken p.s.

Sinister: I am the queen of the eyesores (sic)
by Mark Casarotto 04 Apr '03

04 Apr '03

The whole concept of Anti-Americanism worries me hugely. While countries like France (particularly at the moment), the UK, Germany, Japan etc. etc. labour under a certain amount of distrust and dislike from many people, it seems to me the only other countries where anti-<country>ism is such an issue are the ones ruled by paranoid, tyrannical dictator types. Zimbabwe, maybe. Or Iraq? Certainly the witch-hunts against un-American Americans are on a different level to those poor fuckers who get caught in Iraq, but the psychology behind it is disturbingly similar. (NB, I completely love America and Americans, and I hope to live there one day. So maybe I'd better watch what I put in writing...) Christine's story about a family being tricked into thinking they'd lost a son is, I think, central to problems certain people have. The essence is this. In your posts, Christine, there is a tone that some people are picking up on which comes across devious, reactionary, passive-aggressively critical. This particular instance suggests to me that the anti-war movement uses obscene tactics against those who represent pro-war emotions (though I'd be willing to bet that family just want their son to come home). What annoyed me was you choosing this as the view you want to get across of the peace protesters, rather than focusing on the good, positive, self-sacrificing actions of so many. So Christine's parable could be viewed as a simple tale of "gosh, society these days, isn't it terrible?". Or it could be taken as above, intended or otherwise, which justifies confronting the issue. This isn't supposed to single out one individual for criticism. It IS, however, reasonable to respond to someone who makes controversial views public and is, I am assuming, keen to stimulate debate. Also, apologies for the tone of my last post, which I know was too snarky and personal. Right, I'm off to invade Paul Arathoon (and I mean that in a sexual sense). See you at the picnic!

Sinister: the littlest birds
by R.Playforth＠sussex.ac.uk 04 Apr '03

04 Apr '03

Dear WhiteStripes&War mailing list, Well lovies, this is my last day at work (and thus last day of reading Sinister regularly) for a while, so I'll just give a little wave. ~~~~~~ I'm quite excited about going bowling tomorrow. I haven't been bowling since I was at school, and I'm not sure how miraculous my technique will look next to those who have had ample chance to hone their skeelz (Ken and Carsmile by the sound of it). So don't laugh at me. Whenever I go to meet-ups, social butterfly that I am (well, moth anyway), I always feel a twinge about the listees who can't make it, especially the ones I've never met and probably never will. But I'll be thinking of you guys! (And it's good to know that some of you will be picnicing on the other side of the world this weekend too.) Life proceeds apace outside of the crazy world of Sinister. I am applying to do an MA this autumn, with a view to getting muhself an actual career. Ha! Despite all the wise words from the Girls with Glasses, I am still bizarrely drawn to public libraries. I think I may be bored of working with students; their quirks are so predictable. I want the completely random nutters again. Being engaged is still rather nice. I know we COULD get married next week if it came to it, but neither of us are particularly good at being spontaneous, and I have a crazy idea that I'd quite like some money to spend on a wedding (or at least the reception). So... that'll be 2007 then. First dance: Heaven of my Heart by Jim White; last dance: My Wandering Days Are Over. It's sad that Edwin Starr died. I'm going to play My Weakness Is You very loudly tonight and dance around the front room. (This despite the horrible discovery this morning that you can see straight into the upstairs window of the pub opposite, and presumably vice versa. How did I discover this? By coming face to face (or face to belly) with the naked upper torso of Dave the landlord as he opened the curtains...) I went to see The Be Good Tanyas a while ago. I love them, and also want to be them. Frazey Ford's way with hair and flowers is as dreamy as her voice. Other music I've been listening to: the Go-Betweens (gig on 28th woo!) and Shel Silverstein, who is completely MENTAL. I will never think of thumb-sucking in the same way again. (Do listen to Freakin at the Freaker's Ball someday, if you possibly can.) Is that everything? I fear it is. Oh, good luck with the piece Staceydahl! Happy Easter. love Archel PS. FWIW, I couldn't give a flying fuck about ANY of your relative political stances, which is probably a relief right? ****************** Visit www.buzzwords.ndo.co.uk for the best new writing on the web.

Sinister: invade the white stripes
by Paul Arathoon 04 Apr '03

04 Apr '03

I totally agree with the decision of GWB, Tony Blair and a cast of thousands (well...Poland and Spain anyway) to invade the White Stripes. They've been causing trouble in the Led Zep tribute band market for far too long and their new album clearly contravenes the UN resolution 353485 on bands without drummers. (see also Carter USM) What's more, anyone who buys the new album is clearly anti-american because they have brought it out on vinyl which is the devil's plaything because it is based on the seven circles of Hades. So let's get behind our boys in the record shops and invade. or something. --- I don't like short mails to the Sinister list but I'm short on time and short of patience. And I'm quite happy being a hypocrite. la la la. _________________________________________________________________ Overloaded with spam?
