Hullo folks, Well, it seems that Sinister has RISEN FROM THE D!E!A!D! like something, well, sinister. All these old faces remind me of the Sinister back in 1986, when I was still in short trousers and Sinister posts were delivered by folding them into paper aeroplanes and throwing them from the tallest building in town. In Kidderminster that meant climbing up to the fourth storey of the Art College. Some of the locals said that if you went up that high your brain would pop, so they would stand at the bottom with umbrellas over their heads just in case. It never did, though. Chris "Show me the Beaker" Leonard said, "My name is Chris Leonard". He also said, "'Mad' Mick did write "Love on the March" from the forthcoming single. All of it. And very nice it is too. You see? Talent." To be honest, "Love on the March" scared me when I heard it on the radio. But then, at the time the radio was getting a lot of interference from the Archers on Radio Four, and the constant sound of cows and donkeys was enough to drive anyone to bonkers. On the other hand, I *love* Desperation Made a Fool of Me, like a loveable biscuit baby that you just want to squeeze and squeeze and squeeze and.. oh dear, biscuit baby, what have I done??! I wonder what the *second* single from the album will be. I'd like it to be I'm a Cuckoo or Lord Anthony, or, even better, Stay Loose! That would be ace! With (My Girl's Got) Miraculous Technique as a b-side! And a cover made out of chocolate!! Dr C B Stride said, "<color><param>0100,0100,0100". Well, indeed. Genevieve said "I love the goldenness of September". So do I. I love its chilliness, too, and the hedgehogs that appear after a summer hibernating in their trees. Also, I love September because it makes me want to make SOUP!! In fact, I am making some soup right now to keep me warm till the morning. Do you want to know how to make soup? Here is HOW: ingredients =========== Salt and pepper 75g butter 2 large carrots, diced 2 large parsnips, diced 1 onion, diced 600ml vegetable stock 1/2 teaspoon of fresh thyme Put the butter and carrots and parsnips and onion in a pan and cook for 7 minutes. Add the vegetable stock and cook for 10-20 minutes, until the vegetables are soft. Blend vegetables until smooth. Serve HOT. :) ============ I know what you're thinking: "I'd like to make some soup, but I just don't have the thyme." Well, neither did I, so I just used some basil. I don't think it matters. It's all just leaves. If I didn't have that I'd have used bits of cactus, or rubbings from the grassy underbelly of a sheep. Hey, improvise! Making soup is fun!! Maddie said "Thank you all for making Sinister as special as it is". *sob* Goodbye, Miss Maddie Minx!
