i really need to change the order of this. the important bit is at the end. don't bother reading this, just scroll down to *the important bit* well seasogreetingsreatings to you all. i'm in fine and joyous seasonal spirit because i've just glittered and posted my recipient lucky recepient. ho ho ho as a fat man is rumoured to say (did you know that ol' father christmas/santa is really more like the jolly green giant of sweetcorn fame and only wears red thanks to sponsorship by the ever so thoughtful and community minded coca-cola company). anyway, i'm in danger of keeping to one train of thought so i'll change now. change of topic. no, can't do it. still in a good mood and about to distribute end of year awards to the deserving. any nominations out there? personally i'd give the overall greatest achievement in the world (or something) to whoever invented immodium (anti-poo drug, to all you overseas sinistarians) and that wet toilet paper. i don't think i need to say more except i haven't been very well lately (got a sick note from the doctor for the first time in my life). real flu (real, please note) followed by a rather nasty little gastric number. ho ho ho indeed. the sad thing is i was sort of hoping for a little cold so i could have some time off work. i just didn't intend to buy into the ill thing so comprehensively. oh well, it's kicked off my pre-christmas diet rather successfully - managed to lose 6lb in a week. bonus. don't worry, i'll change the topic. actually, i won't. i just need to say sorry for not replying to emails and invites recently. i hope you understand. i just really couldn't leave the bathroom. and my modem lead won't stretch far enough. i did try. honest. real and proper change of topic. well, sort of. i want to know your end of the year award categories and nominations. now, if this is a sinister regular i am undermining and doing in quite the wrong way, i apologise but i don't really care, just nominate. *topic shift to rather an important bit* The january 2003 issue (why do they publish magazines a month before they're dated, it's most confusing) of Q magazine wants help spotting a lyric. it says: "Can you help? "Now listen Johnny, you're like a mother..." Can anyone name the song?" of course we can. we're sinister! I think everyone should email qmail@emap.com instantly to tell them they're looking for Slow Graffiti by our very own B&S. if loads of us email they might realise they need to devote some space to the twee ones. they probably won't. but i'll enjoy knowing they've been deluged with tweeness. well done if you've got this far. keep glittering Elle x have i followed the rules at all? thought not. sorry. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
