happy birthday! my news: as of tuesday i have been living in a different house, which is quite exciting (well, as exciting as living in a big, old, spidery house with your grandmother ever gets.) am reduced to sneaking home to email and steal food. odd. i will be celebrating sinister's birthday entertaining a friend from newcastle who is foolishly squandering all his funds on a train fare to visit me. we will be attending a free art/jazz/food/garden thing at the castle in nearby lewes. i used to work there, but i am determined not to be co-opted into answering stupid questions or picking up litter. this friend, if not quite introducing me to nick drake, certainly nourished my interest, and in return i have bestowed b&s on him. i fear, however, that the conversion has not been as total and triumphant as most of my other attempts - perhaps this weekend i will have to sit him down with 'my wandering days...' and 'get me away from here...' until he succumbs. i refuse to belive that *anyone* can not be melted by those 2 songs. 'boozy blokes beware' said that stunningly short-sighted review. doesn't this just make you cry laughing, thinking about the average sinisterine? we're not exactly teetotal, from what i can gather. we even have our own booze explosion, though admittedly a female one. so nyah. (though perhaps claiming a tendency to acoholism isn't that impressive a defence....?) i think 'hamley' is a masterpiece too, steve. their selection of quality children's toys is really second to none. speaking of which, *when* are mattel or whoever going to get round to the b&s dolls? i mailed them my prototype yoghurt-pot-and-silver-foil designs, but nothing. mind you, they manged to make the spice girls look even scarier than in real life, so perhaps it's for the best. isobel with nylon hair, pointy tits and a waist like a pencil might give certain people coronaries. and give certain other people the chance to stick pins in her, draw facial hair, and give her a dodgy hair cut (oh, wait, that's been done already). but just imagine a little stu whose arms of sex you could adjust into any position you wanted... and on that image, i'll leave you. time to plunder the cupboards before my parents get home. luv archel xxx ******* Rachel Playforth archel@iname.com +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister@majordomo.net".
