Hello funsters, The subject comes from an amusing list of newspaper headlines I just recieved. My last post may have seemed a bit sarcastic, but it honestly wasn't. There are just a few points: James Gilmer looked guilty and said:
all those wonders of english culture...and we give you Jerry Springer. Sorry about that, us poor colonials have yet to find culture.
Don't knock Jerry Springer. Jerry Springer is one of the best things on TV. You just have to get into the mood for it, just whistle and whoop and clap lots, it's great fun. It takes away you're worries. If I ever go to america I will go and see Jerry. Or maybe Ricki, she's good too. THAT NAUGHTY WORD Our dear head, Mr. Midworth, has come up with a plan to combat the immaturity and lack of effort in our year. There will be four groups of students: Group 1. These people will be given extra help with organisation, but they do need to worry much. Group 2. Will have their performance monitored and risk being put in group 3 if they do not improve. Group 3. Will have to report to teachers daily and will have to do all homework in school if they do not do it on time at home. These people are the evil ones. Group 4. Girls. Who are perfect, obviously. It would be bad enough, but to rub salt into the wound, I'VE BEEN CLASSIFIED AS A GIRL. I feel like Kryten did, except I don't get to go in the showers with them. LETS ALL MEET UP IN THE YEAR 2000 I love Jason's idea of millenium meet-ups, I might be able to leave the house for that excuse. We can all agree to get as many hifis as possible and play the same song at exactly the same time everywhere. I vote for MRS. And the time should be midnight. Of course, midnight is different anywhere, so it might not work perfectly. I remember when I first heard Jarvis Cocker sing "Won't it be strange when we're all fully grown..." I thought "hmm. only 15. It's not really that fully grown". A lot's happened though. Isn't it weird how things happen and stuff changes. Lots has changed, I couldn't have predicted it. Maybe it's not really wierd. <sigh> When I first heard *that* song everything was going to be perfect. Depressing rant: Now everything's going to be crap for me, I worked it out. We've had careers teachers round and all. "What do you want to be?". Oh f***, I think, because I don't want a job. I've taken to saying "Bus driver". A COMMENT ON SOCIETY Dave told us all about those strange people who fit in. I don't take pride in ever being nasty to the sort of people that wear designer clothes and listen to top 40 music. They don't know any better, right? Anyway, they're generally pretty friendly and fun, so no problem. Not everyone thinks they're better than you just because of what they wear. What does piss me off is the other band of hipsters who will get actively pissed off with you if you wear M&S trousers. It's these sort of people who take the piss out of B&S. The reason being they're scared of anything that's different. You might understand I'm talking along the lines of the grunger punk rock bitches here (there's a lot round here). They think of themselves as so hard and scary but there's nothing more scary to them than Stu M in a cardy. HA Can I just say that I agree with Marcus's comments too, and I think capitalism works for some (very few) things, but for music it's the worst possible way of sharing it out. DRINK WHAT *YOU* WANT TO DRINK, is my final comment on that line, thanks pete. I'll just end this quickly by saying what a shame it is that all our list crush votes don't count for Erica's election. -- James Thorniley +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister@majordomo.net".
