ok i've left it till now to hope that someone else does the REPORTING BACK on the London Bowling. but they haven't (you lazy boys) so it's left to me. so here goes. SINISTER LONDON BOWLING!!!!!! REPORTING BACK HURRAH picture the scene in your mind (North London, cold) look at all the people (well four of them) and take a note of the setting behind (la la la: Bowling Alley) Listen, watch and wait Hope that a few more people will turn up (phone Lord Ken of Sinister a few times, gossip about Mark and decide he's probably had a better offer) An hour later come to the sad conclusion that this is it Go in anyway and start drinking (3 pints and a coke please) start talking (B&S always a safe one to start with) hurridly book the alley (note, only one needed) get the shoes (mine were new you know) go and bowl. Elle was particularly splendid. Getting strikes one moment (well, two of them) and absolutely nothing with the next few (four i believe) balls. whoever you is that all my words and actions come from, i think you could have made me at least win. James, Sam and Paul played rather well but Elle was too overawed about the concept of being out with three charming young men to take any notice of that. Games came to an end. Have no idea who won. Went to pub. Drank more. Talked music, books, sinister gossip (quite shocking) and drank more. all was going splendly until James realised his bag had been stolen. all too drunk to react very much and just said oh. discussed how wonderful Xmas Xchange had been and how much we all loved Mses Llew and Minx. Wondered if they'd consider organising/licencing the concept to allow a Sinister Valentine Card Xchange. Just think - you send a Valentine Card to a Sinistarian and are (almost) guaranteed a similar card from an unknown 'admirer'. it'll help take the pain out of that otherwise horrendous day. the more cards you send, the more cards you receive. now, i know you can just send cards to yourself, but it's not quite the same. what do you reckon? drank more. talked more. listened to remarkably good music argued about exact location of iraq. drank more. pub closed.said goodbyes. went home. Elle reached the lonely depths of surrey, took taxi as still scared by that rapist even though he's now in prison. had argument with taxi driver who called her 'love'. where is the surrey sinister massive when you need it? is it really just elle and james (during holiday times only). anyone else out there willing to own up to the indignity of living in surrey? it's just a part-time massive otherwise. REPORTING BACK TOTALLY OFF TOPIC AND SIGNING OFF BEFORE SHE RANTS HER LIFE AWAY. elle xxx ps. many thanks to Rhona for being my wonderful secret santa. i've eaten the sweets, have failed to save any money yet and have stuck the photo on the front cover of my diary. xxx __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
