Sinister: Don't mention the V-Word!
by Gardiner, Stuart 07 Feb '03

07 Feb '03

Well, long time no see. By my reckoning it's about 5 months since I bored you all with a message. But even Genevieve appeared the other day, so it's about time I came out of the woodwork... What? An ink Polaroid? Only four days late? Well, if you insist... ----------- This one's better as an ink Polaroid, because you don't want to see the real photos. It was taken a couple of weeks ago, when a group of us went to see the Rocky Horror Show. And I foolishly agreed to a competition to see who could wear the best costume. I don't normally dress like that, promise. For starters, my legs are too long so the stockings kept falling down. And the feather boa was moulting on the carpet. Still, until you've walked around the centre of Stoke's 'Cultural Quarter' wearing women's clothing, you haven't lived. Who said the British were reserved? ----------- Anyway, there was another reason for me writing. As we all know, B&S were running a competition for a couple of reporters to go and interview them for the new DVD they're making. Of course, I wouldn't want to name either of the people who won (sorry), but since I'm online more than most people at work, if anyone out there has any good questions for the band, email me by Wednesday lunchtime and I'll pass them on to the appropriate person...

Sinister: If we don't have love, we have nothing
by Joanne Hill 07 Feb '03

07 Feb '03

Today we went to see All or Nothing...what a bleak, gloomy film. It's set on a housing project in London and follows the lives of three families scraping together enough cash to live, or just exist, week by week. The future for each character is left open at the end, but you wonder whether the contentment or happiness they may have found will be brief... Mostly however it was just grumpy teenagers still in their 'Kevin phase' (as in Harry Enfield)... But when we came out of the cinema it was snowing, and all pretty, so it was ok. Changing the subject, could anyone tell me which, if any, Pizzicato Five cd is worth buying? Are they any good? Also, does anyone have an opinion on Tatu? My computer is so old and pathetic that it won't play mp3s without skipping, otherwise I'd be able to judge for myself if these bands are worth my cash. :-( Bye for now, Joanne _________________________________________________________________ It's fast, it's easy and it's free.

Sinister: ARE YOU READY TO BATTLE?
by Dirty Vicar 06 Feb '03

06 Feb '03

Hello, I haven't posted in a while, so I thought I'd drop you a line so you'd know I hadn't started a blog or anything. Right now I'm listening to UFO Romantic by Guitar Wolf. Guitar Wolf are these three Japanese guys who LIVE TO ROCK. Basically they are the Japanese Hives. What's not to like? Talking of The Hives, I was fascinated to learn from A*S*T*R*I*D that there are loads of Swedish bands that are even better than The Hives and The Soundtrack Of Our Lives. This is the kind of thing I want to hear. I for one am looking forward to our Northern friends establishing total domination of the pop world. It's bound to happen. It's also great that A*S*T*R*I*D is sending in lots of posts again, because A*S*T*R*I*D is B*R*I*L*L*I*A*N*T. I promised tapes of stuff to a few people and haven't delivered them yet. Er, sorry. I will do them eventually, promise. and now I must wander away. i'm sorry this post is so rubbish, I just wanted to make sure people still remembered who I was. bless, DV +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: *blushing*
by Alex Goffey 06 Feb '03

06 Feb '03

Wow, so I think I totally muddled up the entire ink polaroid concept, but it's been great fun reading everyone elses. I will put my little effort down to experience/learning/shame and embarrassment... here's a belated one from me anyway in an attempt to redeem myself. ******** There's a girl, sitting at a big desk, staring idly at the computer screen in front of her. Although the camera has flickered the photo, a green screen and piles of cards can be made out on the monitor. Her knees folded up and one hand resting on the mouse, her facial expression tells us that she could easily be anywhere else. The desk is a mess: paper, notebooks, chocolates and bubblegum, tapes and records strewn all around the place. Maybe if she ever got off the computer, she'd do something worthwhile, like wonder how she got her name and what she's going to do about it... ******** I missed out on sending my submission for the reporting job in. But then again, I'm not sure how willing they'd be to fly me halfway across the world to do the reporting. Of course, it'd save me a pile of money but oh well, next time kids... love and blushes xox alex p.s. if there's any brisbane sinister listees going to the Candle show on Saturday night, feel free to come and say hello to me. No doubt spot me in a corner with my B&S t-shirt and tartan skirt on..I promise not to bite. _________________________________________________________________ STOP MORE SPAM with the new MSN 8 and get 2 months FREE* http://join.msn.com/?page=features/junkmail +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: The Shape Of a Boaby. . .
by Brian McNeill 06 Feb '03

06 Feb '03

Italy has funded a study to determine why the head of a man's pen*s is wider than its shaft. The study took two years and cost over 180,000,000 lira. The results of the study concluded that the reason the head of a man's pen*s is wider was to provide the man with more pleasure during s.ex. After the results were published, France decided to conduct their own study on the same subject. They were convinced that the results of the Italian study were incorrect. After three year of research and cost in excess of 250,000,000 francs they concluded that the head of a man's pen*s is wider than the shaft to provide the woman with more pleasure during s.ex. When the results of the French study were released, the Scots decided to conduct their own study. The Scots didn't really trust the Italian or French studies. So after nearly three days of intensive research and at a cost of approximately 36 quid, the Scottish study came to the final conclusion that the reason that the head of a man's pen*s is wider than its shaft is to prevent your hand flying off and hitting your forehead. _________________________________________________________________ Surf together with new Shared Browsing http://join.msn.com/?page=features/browse&pgmarket=en-gb&XAPID=74&DI=1059 +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: Sordid Linlithgow nightlife Ink Polarioid
by Ian porter 05 Feb '03

The suns just about gone down on a Saturday night in the last week of the summer holidays. Im the one sitting against Doms garage wall, with Nathalie. Hendo is standing over me and Nathalie, moaning at us for smoking, Nathalie is moaning back at Hendo for moaning at Mackinnon earlier on. Hendo Likes Nathalie. Above us, the looming shadow that you can see is Owen, Owen is just about to fall off of Dom's garage roof. Its not high, but he will soon land on his arse in a comedy moment. Round the corner, Crussell is trying to light the barbecue, using some quite damp sticks and is shouting 'Shite' becuase hes burnt his fingers. In other news, I got a question answered by Stuart M and Chris. Woo! Im the one asking if they can do my Highers for me. _________________________________________________________________ Chat online in real time with MSN Messenger http://messenger.msn.co.uk +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: the snow is melting in the desert. reasons to rally.
by Stefano [Steady-State] 05 Feb '03

05 Feb '03

My Picture Was all in the Snow But I wish to say a few words about something which might go to happen in a rather desert country. IRAQ. This Saturday, the 15th there is going to be a march in London. I am going to go. [if anyone wants to come along, please e-mail me I´ll be delighted]. Why? 1) Fist of all I DO NOT believe a was is a good way to bring peace. This is one of the arguments the So-called civilised western word military leading country US and 52th state governor of `the overseas territory once know as the united kingdom of great Britain and northern Ireland´ T. Blair, together with a few "wont-to-be-there" European nations (including Spain and italy [note one of this nations has previously fascist party in the government coalition, and the other one strong simpaty]....) are going around saying with their rather bold and utterly inexpressive face. Let´s consider that. The main target of the last war, iraq #1, kosovo/serbia, afganistan has ben the civil population. They have been bomber by `the intelligent bomb and missiles [such a stupid name]´ or had to escape from their houses. NONE of THEM have BEEN HELPED by western coutries. While spending millions to bomb and destroys the country they were living, there has NEVER been any effort to HELP the refugees, no camp hospitals or temporary accommodations, nothing. Didn´t NATO did it for the `freedom´ of the local population? Isn´t that what our `leaders´ were saying from the telly in they smart dressed uniforms? For God sake! One of the biggest reasons for death in Afghanistan is epidemic spread of various disease in the refugee camp at the border with pakistan. We [shame, I have to say we] bomb and forget. And didn´t even get the bin laden guy. Such a good job. Isn´t? ARE WE GOING TO DO THE SAME IN IRAQ? The answer is No: WE DID ALREADY!!!!! Iraq before Iraq petrol war #1 {iraq-kuwait conflict was a petrol was. World vs Iraq was a petrol war as well, Saddam Hussein won the first and obviously lost the second). During the kuait pital, school and all the civil facilities they could in Iraq. I don´t think it was useful to free kuwait was it? As a result the rate of infant death in iraq rose by 600%. It was the state with the lower rate of infant dearth in the middle east before the war. Iraq is one of the few state in the middle east were woman has almost the same freedom as man. For how the rather bloody dictator Hussain is, it is still probably one of the most liberal regimes in that region. Iraqi people were on average educated before the war, everything ceased after that. DID WE DO ANY GOOD FOR THE POPULATION? If we want to free them for mr. Hussain, I don´t think that let their children die because the boycott did include medicines and stuff was really a good move, let me say. Moreover, i don´t think this WAR is justified anyway. There should be a hundred reason for that, But let me just make a couple of consideration about our dear war motivators George&Tony? II) When the G.W.Bush says he don´t care about petrol, how can you believe all the other thing he says? III) Tony Blair present a dossier which demonstrate the presence of mass destruction armament in Iraq and even nuclear weapons. ONU inspectors found NO evidence of nuclear at all. And strong doubt about chemical and biological weapons. If the dossier was ANY accurate and believable, and it should have been in order to be the main support for a war action, why didn´t the ONU inspector checked for the site signalled in the dossier. Are they daft? No sir, they found NOTHING. The dossier was FALSE. BLAIR IS A LAIR. HE IS NOT TRUSTABLE AND HE HIMSELF DEMONSTRATE IT! Note. I believe that Saddam Hussein has chemical and biological weapons. He surely had. He used them on curds before the Iraq petrol war #1. Turkey did the same. No one of the so called western country really complained. In conclusion I would say I am FAR MORE scared by G. Bush that by Saddam Hussain! {honest} Let´s march to say NO to this war and to any other WAR. Take care, Yours stefan nt to see her once before I die.
