Re: Sinister: London picnic, 20th May
hello there "Anyway Londoners see you on the 20th on Greenwich Hill for more picnicking mayhem...it's easy to find. It's right behind the observatory at the start of Blackheath Avenue on the following map (or email me if you want me to meet you at a station and hold your hand and hamper up the hill)" if that is indeed a quote from robinson then he has indeed confused more than informed has he not. i think what he meant to say was that we should meet in the picnic garden area of the cafe that is in the position he was attempting to describe (behind the observatory at the beginning of blackheath road). its a very quaint little place, and you know the biggest bonus this has over primrose hill? it has a little toilet, so no scampering off to the bushes for us alcoholics. a freshly cleaned (maybe) golden urinal (maybe again) awaits us instead. sorry, i get very excited by the prospect of clean bathrooms. and i've never even been to glastonbury. don't be scared though. its very easy to find. particularly for me as i live 5 minutes round the corner. as for alternative plans in the event of a downpour....well, i would suggest we scarper to the trafalgar tavern. its expensive, but its on the thames and can be very pretty. their shouldn't be anyone in there either, as they don't show the football.this is on park row, right near the river, off of trafalgar road near the national maritime museum. is that confusing? i'm confused so i don't see why anything i write shouldn't be. ta ra* matt (feeling strangely sober) *copyright A Penguin 1999 ________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the undead Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister@missprint.org.

Well bleedin' heck if us Londoners can't even seem to organise a piss up on a bit of grass. And who's to blame? Me it appears. Ho hum... I seem to be being questioned by big gay Mark C, who I snogged the other day and he was rubbish, and some fop Drunken Matt who can't focus beyond the bottom of his pint glass. Actually while I'm mentioning people Cookie you're not welcome at this picnic you big Glaswegian nob end, if you come I will have to shove a metronome set to maximum cha cha up your pettite derrier and run you over with a flymo. Anyway, back to the point well only if your a Londoner and you love London town, if any of you are really confused about this picnic location mail me and I'll arrange to meet you somewhere close i.e not in Hicksville or wherever you live Mr Hewitt. But I will make you wear name badges and all hold on to a piece of string so I don't lose any of you and you'll have to call me "Sir". Anyone else who gets lost on the hill, a) has an extraordinarily bad sense of direction or has a name Steve often prefixed by "Carsmile", b) is already pissed which is fair enough, c) if they can make their way to a phone of some functional description phone me on 07968 369985 and I'll come and find you. If anyone wants to join my band of search party organisers for stray Sinister picniccers please apply to me at the usual address. Oh and if anyone wants to watch the football it will be shown in many nearby pubs and anyone turning up after the football can at least have the decency to be as drunk as everyone else. Or if you don't drink have eaten as many fairy cakes as Casarotto. It really is simple people. Like riding a bike. Or baiting a penguin. Or stalking leeks. Or ac. Ummm... anyone in London town on Friday I believe there is a Poetry Cafe extravaganza too as a pleasant picnic warm up. As for everything else it's your life so use it wisely. Te ra, Martin P.S I'm giving up smoking today anyone who can correctly guess how long I last wins a cigarette, if I haven't smoked it by then. +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the undead Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister@missprint.org.
