Liked the note from Jeanette saying that Sinister is a family, stumbling from one disaster to the next, and we rally round to help each other in times of need. In that case I'd be grateful if I could abuse the list for a second or two with my own personal tale of woe and a cry for help....... It's like this see.......my flat"mate" has just informed me that he plans to move out my house in the next two weeks. I have the mortgage and he gives me half every month as rent money. (He has just decided that all he has to give is a few seconds notice and that's him off!) This means that in the short term my Christmas is totally f***ed because all the money I had saved up for some festive drink/drug binges and extravagant gifts for those closest, now has to be used to pay the mortgage for January. So instead of partying like a madman into the new millennium, I will be at my parents' house watching shite like "Celine Dion at Glyndebourne opera house," and "Mission Impossible." (Also, because I'm at my parents' I won't be able to listen to any even slightly loud tunes because my Dad greets any song released after 1963 with the cry, "TURN THAT OASIS PISH AFF.") (Apart from "The Quo," obviously(?)) Anyway, I digress................ As for the next few months, my mortgage has now effectively doubled, which means that I need a new flat mate, so I can avoid having to live on a diet of Pot Noodles. If anyone out there in the Glasgow area is looking for a room to rent from January onwards (unlikely I know but "He who dares" and all that) then please get back to me (uncle.eddie@virgin.net) (phone:0141 579 8826). Or even if you know someone who's looking show them this message. I live in a really quiet street in King's Park and my rent is very reasonable. It's only 12 minutes on the train to the city centre and a further 3 mins walk from there to 13th Note. Sorry if this is what is known as List Abuse but I have to try don't I? I'd rather have someone off this list move in than some random Weedgie. Well thanks for listening and have a great Christmas and happy new year. When you're out having fun and quaffing Moet, think of me - stuck at home with Celine Dion on the telly and Status Quo on the stereo. Merry Christmas?!? Aye right - heard it.....
