Sinister: Starting Arguments
by Barrett R 18 Feb '98

18 Feb '98

Hello all I've only been on the list a few days but I'm already going to start annoying some people by giving out about stuff I received today. So here goes.... Firstly, the wonderfully-named MCTAG sent a message around with perfectly worthy sentiments about the England football team and Man Utd. While I actually hate the latter with a vengeance that is a bit worrying, and I certainly don't have any affection for the former either, there is no need for his header comment "Always look on the runway for ice". For those of you who don't know or care about these things, this is a song that some football fans used to sing at Man U fans because of the deaths of a number of their team 40 years ago in Munich on an icy runway. Slag the Man U scummers about anything else and I'd be in complete agreement but this is just not funny. Sorry mate. Secondly, in response to Andrew Dean, it made my day to read of rumours of New Order reforming from a previous writer so some of us are interested, just as some of us seem to be interested in Brick Supply and PE Teachers the world over. Also, your snooty/snotty comment about the lad who wanted a copy of Tigermilk is a bit unfair. The fact that it was released 18 months ago doesn't mean that he had heard of B&S before last week. I thought that this sort of "I've been into the band longer than you" nonsense was banned from this list. I'm another person who hasn't heard Tigermilk and I'm sure there's plenty of others out there too. Ranting over, can I just say how much I'm enjoying reading everything - it all helps keep me sane while bored out of my head at work. One final point - the Trembling Blue Stars review that was sent around earlier was written by the same bloke (I think) that gave ...Sinister five out of ten back in Nov 96, so his taste is up his arse. Having said that, the stuff I've heard off the TBS album does sound great and I've been searching the record shops of Dublin trying to find it to no avail.

Sinister: New Order Reforming?
by Samiam 18 Feb '98

18 Feb '98

Crank up the rumour mill. I got this from a web site called PA Press. Are they legit? Sam FIRST DATE IN FIVE YEARS FOR NEW ORDER Chart-topping band New Order have announced they are to perform together again this summer for the first time in five years - their only show this year. The quartet, who have been on ice while members concentrated on careers with other bands, are one of the headline acts at the Phoenix Festival, near Stratford-upon-Avon, Warwickshire, from July 16 to 19. Speculation had been rife that New Order would not perform together again as the four members pursued their own projects. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Sinister: Now I'm annoyed
by aadam＠interaccess.com 18 Feb '98

18 Feb '98

How can two of you be so daft as to answer the question, "Who's the most famous living person?" with Elvis Presley? Off topic posts are almost mandatory on this list, but please think before you send your drivel. If the postings were in jest, then why not flash us a wink, eh? I found out Sunday how to get a free copy of Tigermilk. Not a tape, mind you, one of the thousand. All ya gotta do is be in a band (preferably sporting your name), and do very well with your singles, and play in Glasgow. Then ask the audience where you can get a copy. It worked for Ben Folds, it can work for you. I'll see you at the Barrowlands with my multimillion dollar tribute to the Spice Girls entitled: _Aadam's multimillion dollar tribute to the Spice Girls and blatent vehicle for the aquisition of free copies of Tigermilk_. Yeah, that oughta do it. -- "Unfortunately, in our world, we are taught to think good what we like rather than to like what is good." - Bill Russo ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Sinister: Stuart M request, guaranteed no Columbo content
by Honey 18 Feb '98

18 Feb '98

Following from Stuart Murdoch, presumably vitally important for one of songs from the new LP... another "go lardy or go lame" song then. Here's a vote for an entirely food-based Belle and Sebastian LP. Can I also ask for an explanation over booths/cubicles/kiosks? I've always wondered what the difference is. Important stuff. Honey ---------- Forwarded message ---------- Dear Paul I wonder if you could post this up on your site. We are trying to contact the person who sent us the dress and the embroidered card at the turn of the year. It fits Isobel very well and I think she wants to thank you. Also, the fellow who sent us the Belle Et Sebastiane ep record from France. We have something for you but I've neglectfully lost your address. A couple of other things. When we are locked in the studio together a topic is sometimes raised that takes on greater and greater importance the more we argue about it. Could you tell us your views on these simple matters? *What makes a biscuit a biscuit and a bar a bar? For example, Twix, biscuit or bar? 5,4,3,2,1 bar or biscuit? Which treat surfs the elusive dividing line the best? and also *Who is the most famous living person? Lastly, thanks Keith Watson for answering some of the new mailers so nicely.

I've >always wondered what the difference is. > Sorry Paul, I didn't see this before. It must be all the excitement. A booth (sometimes called a nudie booth) is a small room where people pay to go and see rude ladies dancing A cubicle is where you get changed to go swimming, unless it is an open-plan changing room, such as the ones we have been discussing lately in the Big Tackle / Catfish thread. A kiosk, as anyone will tell you, is where you have to go, isn't it? Rod Stewart asked: >*What makes a biscuit a biscuit and a bar a bar? ----------------------------------------------------- Forwarded message from Peter's Dad: Well, I don't know if this is good enough to settle the argument for good, but a recent test case could provide some clues. many viewers will be familiar with McVitie's Hob Nobs, tasty wheaty things that get stuck in your teeth, available both nude and chocolate coated. They are round, and are referred to on the packet as "biscuits". The launch of Hob Nobs was the most succesful ever product launch in the long history of United Biscuits. Sir Hector Laing was able to retire a relatively happy man. Later, McVitie's decided to try and capitalise on the success of Hob Nob biscuits by introducing a new version. Individually wrapped, it was oblong in shape and had a bit of fondant icing in the middle. The tasty wheatiness was retained, but the fondant icing "jazzed it up" a bit too much for the tastes of many pensioners, myself included. They were directed towards the tight-fisted mum market, destined to end up in many a child's lunch box instead of a nice Twix. I'm referring, of course, to the Hob Nob BAR. But it's still a biscuit. As a rough guideline, I would suggest that a bar must be shaped like a gold bar (I watched Goldfinger last night), come in a gaily coloured wrapper, and be bathed in luxurious chocolate. All of which is untrue for biscuits, as any gingermen of your aquaintance will gladly testify. But... Those things you buy in health food circumstances, usually consisting of squirrel innards and bumble bee pooh, are called "bars", yet they are usually chocolate free, which only adds to their disgustingness. Ship's biscuits often contain weavils. The rest, as they say, is predictable. The most famous person in the world is boxing promotor Don King.

Sinister: Really, Hello. I am a beggar with no shame.
by Kennan A Guy for Tomorrow 18 Feb '98

18 Feb '98

Um, hello. I am an American boy with a penchant for loving and living Belle and Sebastian. I am also a beggar, as I do not pretend to have any sort of dignity. Dignity does not matter in relation to great music. Hence, I am offering my soul for taped copies of "Tigermilk" and the BBC Sessions. Now, let me tell you, as the current owner of my soul, it is quite a lovely thing to behold. It makes great company, and is being offered for very little, indeed. I tend to believe that B&S fans are a giving lot, so... Help me! Please! I'm beneath myself! *sob* "How will I get one? I don't do drugs..."

Sinister: Evil P.E. Teachers and stuff
by u01cjtc 18 Feb '98

18 Feb '98

Hello everybody. I'm feeling terrible today, I've got a sore throat, eyes and neck. It might even be glandular fever, oh joy. I had a P.E. teacher at school whose nickname was piggy, he was an evil little man, who loved to pick on the younger kids. He would only allow us to wear shorts to gym and if he saw your pants poking out he would shout, "Get those pantaloons off boy!" in a very scary manner, much like john anderson from gladiators who just happened to be a friend of his, apparently. Another thing he would do was check that you were having a shower by coming in to watch, which led to some interesting grafitti in the changing room, mostly regarding his sexuality/penchant for small boys. Eventually he was replaced by a guy who went to school with will carling (english rugby captain), who was pretty sound. sorry if that was boring, but I tend to talk a load of shite. colin. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .
