It's been too long, hasn't it, Sinisters? In fact, it's been so long, that I can barely fit it in my trousers. It's been almost 9 months since I broke the sad news about being given the bastard fling from my dream job in recruitment advertising. But being the hardy rat-racer I am, I'm back on my 2 left feet, with a brand new job and many new pounds to play with - cha-ching! So you see, t'was a blessing in disguise. A bit like a vegas wedding, perhaps. Important Bit I Think List Parents Should Be Interested In: is that Hotmail recently introduced a junkmail filter, which can be set to various levels of stringency, and, unfortunately Sinister mails are classed as pestering even at the most lenient level. I'm sure I'm not alone in wanting to avoid those oh so helpful 'debt consolidation' sons of spam, but I REALLY, REALLY don't want to think of you all as junk - So is there anything List Folks can do save our reputation? That'd be smashing. Anyway, as far as content goes, I think my saving the list from trashdom is more important. After mine, Joe & Flo's 'performance' on stage at the RAH (don't like to talk about it, natch :o) I have been thinking of offering the band my services by way of replacement for Isobel. In fact, I've even been practicing eyeliner and scowling (hard enough individually, nigh on impossible simultaneously) in preparation. So if anyone's listening, I'm available, and I'll only ask for a copywriter's salary (probably more than Isobel was paid, but I won't cost the band so much in frocks and cello strings). So there. The list has been fished from the festering poubelle and my ass (from which I sing) has been hocked. My work here is done. Say 'Hi' to the family for me, Miss Ho PS - I'm in Belfast (not in Belfast Bob - that would be overfriendly) this weekend. Can any Norren Irish Sinister give me tips on where to go?
