my, my, my... you know, chaps and chappettes, you're really a wonderful lot. the picnic et al this weekend were rather fine, especially in terms of company. the more and more sinister people i meet and talk to and get to know a bit, the more i get convinced that there is really something rather special here. but enough of that sentimental slush... more weird goings on in marcusland... okay, several people have expressed doubts as to the veracity of all my (seemingly) paranoid rants. now that natasha's been staying with me a few days and has come around on the tube and has been riding city buses with me, she can confirm that i just attract the weirdest people around. how about the chap on green park tube platform? at ten past midnight: 'come out you fucking pricks. you fucking chiefs, where the fuck are you?' in a fortissimo... or how about the guy on baker street platform watching calmly as the last tube rolled out of the station, continuing to sing and play his air guitar? or how about the two golden youths on the bus earlier today discussing the ins and outs of last night's fight? believe me (and natasha), everything gets a LOT weirder when marcus turns up... ...but the funniest incident happened earlier today. perhaps understandably, i've been queerbashed an awful lot in the past, but never in such an inventive way... ...we were sitting at the bus stop after a cheesy meal (in more ways than one) and were *shock horror* kissing. and then a group of townie kids, resplendant in their kappa and adidas tracksuit bottoms ran out in front of us. the gang leader turned towards us, gave us a cursory look up and down before shouting 'URGH! LESBIANS!' and running off basking in the glory of his peers' giggles. natasha and i found this rather amusing... anyway, that's about all that's been happening down at omond acres. there's a competition that nike are running to find the park footballers of the year, and it happens to have internet voting... so i thought that sinister should maybe help out... a sinister get together to pick up all the awards at london nike town would be rather amusing, i feel. i'll post more about this tomorrow... right, i'm off to bed :) love Marcus XXX +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister@majordomo.net".
