Sinister: List creche
by Michael Jones 09 Aug '07

09 Aug '07

I haven't posted to this list since...2001. Oh, hang on, that was some other fella who stole my DNA for a bit. 2000, then. So, er, yeah. Kids. We've got two and while Ma and Pa didn't meet directly through Sinister (met at the Manchester Town Hall show, Xmas '97 - Pam was already a Sinisterine, I was about to be initiated [back then there was a questionnaire compiled by Honey and the Duke - no Wikipedia in those days and woe betide you if you didn't know yr Jesse Garon lyrics]), it certainly acted as an lively sidebar to our blossoming transatlantic emailathon. And would I have had any London chums when I moved here in spring '98 without Sinister? Only the geezer outside Brixton Tube handing out flyers for Iration Steppas and Aba Shanti and we were never really on more than nodding terms. So, all being well, Ava and Tallulah will be running/crawling around Primrose Hill in three weekends' time. We'll be bringing muffins made with SMA Progress. Only kiddin'.

Sinister: sinister - the next generation
by Rachel Playforth 08 Aug '07

08 Aug '07

All the Sinister Rachels are sprogging! Just a short announcement to say that, barring unforeseen circumstances, Alice WILL be attending her first - but hopefully not her last - Sinister picnic on the 25th. Hurrah! Even better, I have persuaded Matt to take her home at a reasonable hour leaving me to party in my old pre-breeding Sinister style ie. from noon until noon again(?) I think having a mini-picnic one day is a great idea too. So nice to hear about all the Sinibabies :) Ooh and I am jealous of Rachel getting to chat to Morrissey about beauty products. See some of you in a couple of weeks! (I tried on my red pants the other day and they do still fit me despite motherhood, yay!)

Sinister: more Sinister babies here!
by Florence Walkling 08 Aug '07

08 Aug '07

Joe and I have two of the little beggars! Kitty is three and Edie is almost one. And they truly *are* Sinister babies, in that they wouldn't exist if we hadn't met through Sinister back in 2000. I think that's something to be celebrated, and we were intending to celebrate at the picnic in August.... sadly, it coincides with Edie's 1st birthday, and there are grandparents who would be most disgruntled if we carted the girls off to London rather than do the whole birthday party business. *Sigh*..... Maybe we need to organise some kind of mini-Sinister (Minister?) event? All the babies could get together and drink bottles of tigermilk and dance tweely around their change bags. So we won't be at the picnic, but I want to say thank you to Sinister and all the lovely people who've been on it over the years. I wouldn't have my wonderful man and my beautiful girls if it wasn't for you. Neither Joe nor I have posted for a few years, but we've remained loyal readers, and will never forget how much we owe to the list (and to Lorraine in particular) and to B&S - so, HAPPY 10TH BIRTHDAY SINISTER!!!!

Sinister: Sinister Babies
by Rachel Cohen-Jackson 07 Aug '07

07 Aug '07

I too am the mother of a Sinister Baby, although at 19 months I don't know if I would call the little homewrecker a baby anymore, however I won't be able to attend any picnics as Manchester isn't holding any. Perhaps I can get the M16 Posse together for a little celebratory cup of tea one day. With the Sinister Children. I had a strange experience on Thursday past...I went into Space NK in my leafy suburb of Cheshire where I work and who did I run into, No, not Kerry Katona, but a certain Mr Steven Patrick Morrissey. We had a little chat about beauty products, the neighbourhood where he grew up and about some other tidbits of information. He was a very nice man indeed and it was lovely to meet him. Thanks for your patronage.

Sinister: She's taking an elementary class in Ken Chu
by Rachel Apps 06 Aug '07

06 Aug '07

Hello Sinister! Since there seems to be a little flurry of activity on the list, I thought I'd speak up and say congratulations to Vicky and Chris on the birth of their son as well! That is very nice of David Moore to let us all know that he's finally arrived. As for the London Sinister birthday picnic, Ben Apps and I will be attending, as will our baby son, James Stewart. It would be nice if some other Sinister babies were there, such as Chris and Vicky's Aidan and Rachel Playforth's daughter Alice. If any other Sinister babies were born when we weren't looking, it would be nice to meet them as well! We won't be attending any after picnic activity as I can't drink, we live a bit out of the way, and it will be past Jamesy's bedtime. Does it mean that I'm getting boring, you tell me ... We had a test run of bringing baby James to a picnic when we attended Robster's birthday celebration a couple of weekends ago. It went pretty well, he met Carsmile Steve, Pinefox and Starry Sarah just to name a few. The best part about the picnic was the salt beef and gherkin sandwiches. Mmmmm, salt beef! The other day I was trying to figure out what dates I was physically present in the United States so I could complete my son's U.S. Report of Birth Abroad form, so I was looking through some old emails. I think I had convinced myself that Sinister was never as fervent and vivid as it once was, but looking back I see that it really was *grate* and it made me a wee bit sad to think how much things have changed. So it will be nice to get together and reminisce and maybe Ken will show us his bum. Love, Rachel fruitloop Want to see what I've been up to?

Sinister: The price you pay for your style and grace
by Gayle E. Anderson 06 Aug '07

06 Aug '07

Sinister. I have been meaning to post for some time There has been an ever increasing amount of things I have been wanting to say But the sadness is being dealt with, the happiness is ongoing, the rest is history and future and uncertain! And none of it has a place in this post. This sudden small burst of Sinister activity has left me all excited about Birthdays and picnics and twee celebrations and the fact that Sinister is not completely dead. Hurrahs all round! I will be attending Sinisters Tenth Birthday Bash, accompanied by my beau (he is not quite Sinister, but close enough). It has been some time since I have attended a Sinister get together, around five years! Crivens! And these days...it would sadly seem that picnics are just not the done thing anymore. It has gotten quiet around these parts. More for another post! The Facebook event page for the bash shows almost 20 confirmed attendees and a few more 'maybes'. Pub for afterwards sounds good to me! Anyway, must dash, much lazing about to be done London, here I come!

Sinister: Birthdays
by David Moore 06 Aug '07

06 Aug '07

Hi Fragrant Sinisterines, Long time no speak, hope youre all doing fine, living happy, fulfilled & productive lives. Speaking of which, CONGRATULATIONS to Chris & Vicky on the birth of son Aidan Paisley earlier on today. Apparently Mum & Son are very well, Dad is off getting the name printed on the XXXXXXXS size replica Liverpool FC shirt. >From one Sinister birthday to another one. I think that someone well organised like Mighty Ken Chu should post some instructions, plans, timetables, etc. for the 10th Anniversary Sinister Red Pants Day. Just so that everyone knows whats going on. And then maybe people actually intending to attend could please put their hands up and let us all know that they are going to go, so that people travelling from FOREIGN PARTS could be re-assured that it is going to be worth their while making the journey & that they will meet lots of interesting & friendly people. Or just YOU. For a change I am writing this from a beautiful Cornish farmhouse on a lovely sunny day surrounded by green fields & wooded hills with more or less only cats, cows, bluetits, woodpeckers (green & spotted) & buzzards for company. Nice. Love to you all, David +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.
