Well kinda, actually it was my anniversary of being on the list a couple of weeks ago, but i didn't realise and then what with it being the brits this week and having subscribed the day after the brits *last year* (not that I'm a glory lover or anything), I was thinking it's spiritually a year since i've been on the list. And what a year.....I'll not go on aboot it, you all know where the archives are, and some of you were even there in person (although i imagine you need the archives to overcome alcohol-related amnesia, i know i do :)). Anywayhoo, forwards into the sini-footoor. The village is coming along fine i see, although to my mind it should be somewhere slightly warmer than scotland, somewhere meditteranean and nice and close to the sea, mmmmm, nice warm weather. Went for a job interview in Oxford the other day, but didn't get it :( although mrs carsmilesteve and myself *are* looking to move to oxford once we've got ourselves jobs, anyone got any spare jobs in the area? go on gizza job, i could do that. I'M A BIG DOG WITH A HORN (don't ask) Jaffa cake: n. (j-affa c-ay-k) biscuit (possibly cake (don't want to get involved in *that* argument)) consisting of round sponge-like base with small circle of orangy jelly stuff in the middle and then the top half covered in chocolate: http://www.jaffacakes.co.uk/ actually, looking at the above site there isn't a *single picture* of a jaffa cake on it, so it's probably not a lot of use after all, oh well.... Any of you a little scared or intimidated by the wacky world of #sinister have no need to worry any longer as your aunt sadie (well linda's aunt sadie) will look after you. All you have to do is ask her who people are and you'll learn a whole world of information (and she knows what teabagging is). I might be in glasgow/paisley next weekend cos I'm going to a UNISON conference, which is nice, but i haven't had any info back on it yet, so i can't organise anything yet which is a right PAIN IN THE BUM. **keith watson moment** I was down the pub in Cheltenham last week and was talking to a girl i know. The subject turned to b&s and i mentioned the list. her mouth opened and closed without any noise coming out, and she said "do you know keith watson?" i said "well, y'know kinda, I've looked at his blurry pictures and stuff" and she said...... duf duf duf dufdufdufdufdufduf* <to be continued> **end keith watson moment** actually when i was in the pub another (very pissed) mate of mine was trying to convince me that belle & sebastian (yes, the whole band) had played in a nightclub in manchester three weeks ago. I told him he was talking bollocks, he said no, it's true, even the people on the internet didn't know, i said no, you're talking bollocks, he just staggered off xoxo CarsmileSteve NP (in my head anyway, seeing as how i'm at work) that annoying muse song, i don't even know the flipping words, i've just got the melody to the chorus and the plinky plonky keyboard bit going round and round in my heed *y'know the bit at the end of eastenders, she didn't like do a big drum fill in the middle of the pub or anything +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the undead Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister@missprint.org.
