Hello All, Oh dear. Sinister-land hasn't been an entirely happy place over the weekend. But at least it's nice to see some people have shined in the face of adversity. Petula said:
Toronto's cancelled, but come out anyhow
What a great attitude. I said she was a nice girl. And I was right. Lots of other people also showed more concern for Isobel than their own unfortunate predicament and I think that rules. FunkySeb mentioned the following:
'I once bit into a mouse's head and found a bar of chocolate. How odd is that?'
Mr Paul Merton said this on British TV at about 10.47pm on Friday night. It's a funny quip concerning a newspaper article about a woman who bit into a bar of chocolate and found a mouse's head. It was delivered in a deadpan fashion and was quite amusing. Just thought I'd clear that up for non-UK listees. Earlier in the evening British popkids had their weekly dose of Top Of The Pops and, surprisingly, the star of the show was none other than Mr Georgy "Porgy" Michael. Not only did he try and become Isaac Hayes for the first 20 seconds of the song, he then proceeded to camp it up in a tight police uniform with some lovely ladies who managed to lose their shirts during the course of the video. The one mistake was the re-emergence of that crap 80s haircut he had in the days of Wham. The video was actually too raunchy to be showed in its entirety that early and was going to be shown at midnight or something on Saturday. But I missed it. Bugger. Great stuff though. Later in the evening Eurotrash also had a Spanish bloke called Josmar on who was the unofficial Catalan entry for the Eurovision song contest and he danced around in a pouch, flapping his buttocks at anybody who would look. His speciality was singing about tampons which apparently makes him a hit with the ladies in Spain. Doesn't TV rule? Anyway, Alex McFerguson was a tad vague with the comment:
at least two of our party seemed quite upset when they cut one scene just as Christina was getting out of the bath.
Just to clear things up. I wasn't one of the two. Maybe Robin was though... Robin Stout said:
I was going to speak to the girl, but I'd been grinning inanely at her t-shirt for quite a while and I think she thought I was looking at her boobs, so I just smiled.
I don't think smiling was the right thing to do Robin. As you get older though, you'll realise that all real men spend most of their lives staring at women's boobs (well, apart from the ones with no willys who just stare at other blokes crotches). It's nothing to be ashamed of and should probably be encouraged. You get a special praise award for using the word "boobs" though, which is in fact my favourite word in the whole English language. Closely followed by Barbara Windsor. Love...John PS A warning for anybody tentatively dipping their toes into the world of Northern Soul. After a "mammoth" record fair in Manchester at the weekend I think I can safely report without contradiction that all Northern Soul fans have hygiene problems and do in fact smell. +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister@majordomo.net".
