He looks like the Geo-physicist from channel 4's Time Team as we all well know. Check the archives! :-) Michaela wrote: <<is there anybody on the list from Edinburgh that fancies a couple of bevies with a couple of ex adopted 'wegies ?>> Somebody, please warn her what she's in for!!! Oh well. See you in the flowerbed, Michaela. Then Shamus wrote: <<Remember, this is a city where bars may be open anytime they wish and only must close 4 hours a day: any 4 hours!>> sorry about that, I was just taking in the full implications of what you just said. Want to come and live in London for a bit, Shamus? Drink the clock around! Fantastic!

I've tried to reply personally to as many people as I can, but I'm knackered now, and it's time for EastEnders, so I've admitted defeat. So accept this as a huge hug from me. I bumped into the boy sebastian today, and he said... oh ok, I posted the little parcel today and it's winging its way to C******ne as we speak. In the end I went for a line from Simple Things. See if you can guess which one, next time you listen to it. There aren't many. As I pushed the parcel through the grill, the young postmistress read my inscription, looked at me, and blushed. I get the feeling she recognised it. To whoever pointed out (quite rightly) that sending little tapes to people you fancy is the epitome of sadness, fair enough. But I think B&S are an exception to the rule, don't you? Well, I hope they are. If someone can't be converted by struan's voice, then I think they're doomed to a life of Ford Fiestas, cheap fucks and ben sherman shirts. And good riddance to them. No, I don't think she'll find it sad and scary, but I see your point. Nice funny letter, thanks. And thanks to JohnnyJ for the gorgeous subject line. Wow, what tender people you all are. A credit to the band. Maybe Honey should start a Sinister Dating Agency. Where are you Honey? Please come home, my pants need washing. seb +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister@majordomo.net".
