I got sent my voice yesterday, so here it is... Oh dear, a thousand or so people are reading this so I'd better not say anything stupid :) YORK PICNIC Lots of cheeky pigeons tried to steal our food, but didn't like the strawberries. S***ING OUT When Hefner were selling fridge magnets at the gig in Cardiff I accused them of "going a bit commercial" and they pointed out that if they didn't sell magnets then they wouldn't have enough money to tour. BAND MERCHANDISE Apart from my Hefner fridge magnets (and Mogwai earplugs) I don't have any band merchandise. I feel silly in band T-shirts. Does anyone else ? Should I start wearing them so B&S/Hefner fans will talk to me ? Can you get Tim Buckley T-shirts ? LITTLE ANECDOTE I was walking up a hill lined on one side with a high brick wall, and a woman with one of those upright shopping trolley thingys that old people have (though she wasn't that old) was coming at me from the other direction. As I was nearer to the wall I stuck to it so there'd be room for us to both pass...but so did she...and very nearly ran me over with her trolley. "I DON'T THINK SO", she snarled, "YOU'RE YOUNGER THAN I AM". I wondered how she could be so bitter on such a nice sunny morning. Three points for discussion: 1) Why clatter about with a bulky shopping trolley obstructing rights-of-way when you could have a nice big rucksack on your back, safely out of everyone's way ? 2) When passing someone is being by the wall generally regarded as privileged position ? (and if so, why ?) 3) What's my age got to do with anything ? (20 yesterday, by the way. Spent the afternoon demonstrating my maturity by playing on the swings and seesaws in the park). I'm chained to a desk in the library till it closes at 10.00pm, so if anyone wants to send me funny emails at regular intervals throughout the day then please do. Lots of love Caroline xxx +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the undead Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister@missprint.org.
