i just got back from holiday last night; it felt like bad timing but what can you do? security at gatwick last thursday was mega, and i was glad. i don't suppose a croatia airlines flight to dubrovnik would be a prime target for hijackers, but still. it was a beautiful place. i think matt and i felt extra lucky to be there and to have each other. an american couple came into our hotel to watch cnn as they couldn't get it at theirs, and i thought how difficult it must have been to be so far away from their own country at such a time (although obviously it kept them safe.) today in the co-op a stupid man was talking about refugees: 'taking our jobs and scrounging, i'd round them up and shoot them, i really would'. he was totally serious and i thought - haven't people learned anything, won't people ever stop hating? well, all of you who saw b&s in the states and canada - you were blessed with a rare hour or so of beauty, and it's just struck me again how the amazing people on sinister are a special bonus for loving this band. kisses to all, archel xxx *************************************** For the best in new writing on the web, visit www.buzzwords.org.uk Contact us on buzzwords@bigfoot.com +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister@missprint.org.
