Sinister: Belle and Sebastian for english education
My mother played TheFox in the snow at a English lesson today. I gave her sinister and told her that number 6 get me away frome here I'mdying was an easy text but she misunderstod or something and played number 5. It's nothing wromng with that, the fox is very special. The trouble is that it was one line that was hard for them to translate. I know it was a lot of Fox translations on this list some months ago but the archives doesn't work and I dont know if anyone explained this line, it is: ".....Before you hang a right..." Is it some English phrase or is it something the song writer thought sounded good? Does anyone no what it mean or have some good guess? Please help me, my mother promissed her english teacher an explenation and now she has tossed the problem over to me. But there was another fun thing that hapened when she played the fox inthe snow in the classroom. Another english teatcher came in to the room and she liked the music and thought it wasa good training english music so she wanted tohave it to play on her lessons! I think this is a fantastic new way of using their music. Maybee they should start making english education tapes of that sort that they always have in schools: "Hallo listeners, my name is Stuart, today we are going to sing aboute foxes, sing after me please....." Why didn't I get Belle and Sebastian education when on my english lessons. Then I maybee would have learnd something. It is nice to sit down with friends listening to Mrs Murdoch when she tells us stories with moral in. I thing that one importent thing inthe story is the responsibility of everyone that payed the kingfisher dirty money and then agreed to pay himmore money every time. In one way they made the kingfisher and helped the destruktive part of this story. And that was very tragic for everyone even the kingfisher because I think he also just loved to see Hamish jump over the obstacle. I want to belive that Jeepster tryed to do something pretty and good for us when they started the new list. But I can't think of some good resons for one more list. If they wanted tobe nice to us I think they should write and explain their great plan now when sinister is feeling a bit offended. Karolyne and Annie youre dreams are wonderfull I allway like dreams.Maybee that iswhy I'm a bit lazy. The first Belle and Sebastian dream is always something special, I can still remember mine.It is also always nice to read other persons dreams. Sweet dreams to everyone and an apple cake frome me to Mrs Murdoch Katta +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister@majordomo.net".

Woo, oo oo oo oo ooh, oo oo oo oo ooh, searching for the ci-ties of g-o-old. Now that was a cartoon (emphasis on "that" - oh to be able to type in italics like Salinger). I don't know if it was made by the same people but I always associate it with Belle and Sebastian and Dogtanian And The Three Muskahounds. Did anyone else fancy Milady the cat? Oh dear, I think that was just me. Those cartoons were always about kids setting off by themselves on big adventures, and featured people flying through the air in slow motion, with their mouths open. Big hairy dogs were optional. They also used to do that crazy cartoon thing where if someone was being attacked (in slow motion with thier mouth open), and had no chance of escape, they would play the same bit of cartoon over and over again, just so the hero had time to jump on the hairy dog / jump into the giant flying condor / be saved by the three muskahounds. Does anyone remember when they found a mysterious city of gold and then it blew up? That was a tad unlucky. Now Katarina Karlsson wrote:

A friend once told me that the woman in the Scottish Widows advert is Sean Connery's daughter. Does anyone know if this is true? Then again someone once told me that sombreros were back in fashion. Oh, the taunts...
