Just a short line to say that it appears that members of the UK press
are using the list archives to profit from tragedy, and so I've taken
the measure of taking archives, photos etc. offline for now. I'm sorry
about this to list members, but I won't have them using your content
to make money from recent events. They'll be back soon when they no
longer present an opportunity to generate revenue for the press.
I'm aware there may be other ways of accessing some of this, but please
don't discuss this on the list - but feel free to contact me
privately if you need to. The list of course remains open - please
feel free to post. Your mails have really touched me and I'm sure
others.
If anyone from the press is actually reading this, can I remind them
please that it's clearly stated on the website that content of posts
remain the copyright of originators of those mails, as do photos,
etc., and you're not permitted to use them without asking.
Honey

Dearest Sinisterians...In the past 3 years that I have
been included on this wonderful list, I've probably
only written twice. It isn't that I don't care...but
there just never seems to be time...I keep up on the
reading though. However..since the attacks in London,
I feel it is time I pulled myself to write to you all.
Being that I am from the United States..I understand
the impact that it has on a community. I must say
that during September 11th I was going to school in
New York City...and I lost a few of my close friends
as well. What I will say to those that live in the UK
is that regardless of how people handle the
situation...it does make the people stronger. It
pulls people together and makes them realize that they
are not invincible. It is sad that it takes a tragedy
to have many people see that we are all in need of
eachother. I would just like everyone who is affected
by this to know that you are not alone and that many
other people can relate to the pain and suffering to
come. Bless all of you! Take care of yourselves and
eachother!
Long Days & Pleasant Nights.
-Diane

I'm checking my mails in a way that I havent done for ages, eyes peeled
for news from sinister. Since honey posted this sad news about a
missing member, I've suddenly felt connected to these terrible events
in london and I guess what hits home is that it could have been any one
of us UK listees. We've all travelled the tube, and all been on the bus
and as so many have said, it feels like an attack on us all, and thats
incredibly difficult to deal with, unbearably so, I imagine, for those
close to Liz and our sympathies go out to you all who are directly
affected.
I've been lurking as usual, waiting for someone to say something to
make sense of all this I suppose, and thats probably why I've been
checking my mails so keenly, and waiting up for Newsnight, but no one
can fix it can they? I guess life goes on, so today, after faffing
about at home for a while, I went out to a meeting in a hotel and saw
Terry Christian having one (a meeting that is) at the next table. This
made me smile. The high point of the entire day (which was otherwise
filled with time wasting antics, such as: talking to the pregnant girl
at work about all her relatives names, ever, in an attempt to deduce
which might make the most suitable third name, and emailing my male
boss about his preferred beauty products. This line of conversation was
quite fruitful actually, as it turns out he buys all his cosmetics from
QVC. What are the chances of that then?! Isn't QVC completely frowned
upon as the epitomy of uncool? Seems not, according to him, QVC is
where folks too busy to shop shop. You do, in fact learn a great deal
from wasting time it seems). Anyhow, my favourite moment of the day was
listening to Dirty Dream Number two on my way back to work as I
remembered Terry on the Word back in the early 90s... for those too
young to remember and I hope thats most of you, Terry was this terrible
mancunian host on a teen show in the UK called 'The Word'. It was
abysmal, but launched the careers of some semi famous music related
folks like... Jo Whiley (she was the music booker I believe) and Mark
Lamarr, a well known stand up comedian and radio presenter. Terry's
great skill was being completely unaffected by all the nonsense that
went on around him, like L7 a rrriot grrrl act showing their fannies,
or mark lamarr eating toenails... ah the joys. anyhow. These ramblings
surely are too irreverent for such a sad hot night in the UK, so I'll
leave this here, but I guess I just wanted to say hey sinister, hope
your okay.

It's been alarmingly easy to feel detached from what's gone on back home in
the last few days, now that I'm living in the US. London feels a very long
way away. I've been explaining to Americans with an almost blaze optimism
why the bombings won't change Londoners' way of life. And how the Olympics
will have a much bigger long-term impact than bombers ever can.
And then this morning, four days later, on the Times newspaper website, I
finally find what I've been waiting for - a list of the missing. And I come
across a name I recognise.
At the moment, there's just a numbness. The details of what happened, and
why, seem pretty irrelevant right now. Any deaths, whatever the cause, are a
tragedy for friends and family; but when it's someone so friendly and
caring, with so much to offer and so much willingness to do so, it strikes
home particularly hard. And of course I know there are other people on here,
and one in particular, feeling so much worse.
Apparently there's going to be a 2-minute silence in the UK on Thursday at
noon. That's in the middle of the night for some of us, but I'm certain
we'll all remember on that day in our own ways.
We will go on. We must go on. But we will never forget.
Big Stu

Wow, I don't really know what to say. While I haven't
had much offlist interaction with Liz, save for the
occasional reply one of us sent the other in response
to a post, I know that many strong friendships have
grown on this list.
I will continue to maintain hope that Liz and many,
many others will return home soon to live their lives,
as they deserve.
My thoughts and prayers are with everyone who has had
to experience this tragedy.
Thanks for sharing, Honey.
love,
~stine

Very hard mail to write. I've been trying to decide when/if to write
this, but some of you will know Liz Daplyn, long-term member of the
list, and a truly lovely person. I hope everyone who knows her has
heard about this already and I'm not delivering some awful shock
to a friend of hers, but she's now counted as one of the missing
from the London bombings. Her picture appearing on the front of
yesterday's Independent on Sunday newspaper was too much for me not
to post this, after waiting some time for news after first hearing.
There's always hope, but a few people have suggested strongly I mail
the list, and I think maybe they're right now.
I know Liz less than others (and I'm going to stubbornly continue in
the present tense for now) and I don't want to fall into the trap of
eulogising the missing, but she always struck me as a very special
person. The few times I met her, I felt like I was in a very safe
warm protective bubble talking to her. Whenever we met, she seemed
unfailingly kind, while having the gift of being extremely witty
without ever sounding caustic, and totally engaged in whatever she
was doing and whoever she was with. She sent me unexpected cards
and emails on my birthday, out of the blue, apologising for being
a poor correspondent when she was such a thoughtful caring one.
One of earth's kindest inventions.
I don't think now is the time for extensive comment about this on the
list, except of course from those who are her friends and feel they
want to, who are very welcome for whatever reason. The list archives
will last forever, so please remember that 5 years from now, they will
appear in Google. Remember her family, and those who love her who
may be reading this, and let's be subdued and careful in response.
And please please don't use Liz as a reason to widen comment about
the events in London, or political rant. Liz must not be turned into
some spark for political debate; she must be allowed to remain lovely,
engaging, kind-hearted Liz.
My thoughts are with those on the list who know her much better than I
do, and one in particular. I don't think I can say any more to them
than how much I feel for their agonising wait and pain, and how much
I think of Liz.
Honey

Hey, I've not posted for ages here... just reading you all in a kind
of vouyeur way... Anyway... these are pretty hard days and maybe
that's why I'm writing this...
Just wanted to say to all of you London sinners... I understand you,
being Spanish makes me feel really similar to you, you know I saw B&S
for the first time live the day after Madrid bombs... and I think I
know how you may feel now...
The thing is... please, do what we did that day in the B&S concert...
don't let them change your lives

My love and thoughts to all london sinisterines and anyone else with
family and friends here. Pretty much all of the sinis I'm in touch with
have reported in. If anyone needs anything I am currently in central
london, just off kingsway, for at least the next two hours.

Hi there sinister!
ages ago i wrote some post, most of them pointless
probably, anyway there is a reason for my post: t in
the park.
anyone of you going? chance of meeting up?
Here nothing changed too much since I last
posted: I still like belle and sebastian (I even wrote
something about them in the music page of a friend of
mine and I am quite proud of it),I still go to
university and waste most of my time anyway
But I'll be living abroad from september.
do you ever feel like your life has an expiration
date? not like death, but the fact of going abroad
leaving hours and hours of flight behind me all I know
give me this feeling, like I should do things and
visit places and I don't know what just because next
summer I won't be here to do these things... that's
why t in the park, i always wished to go and it was
always just a dream because there have never been the
perfect conditions and there was always the
possibility of going the year after, instead this year
there was the feeling of "not having another
chance"(which is not true at all cause i'll stay away
just one year, but the feeling is this one anyway) and
here I am...
francesca
