Dear you lot, Speaking of being Hip to the Trip, I can't go to any Northern Tigermilking night. I'm previously engaged to go to Strettles and dance to the New Radicals for my friends 18th birthday. Woohoo! That Pete Miller, the crazy young bubble-permed scamp used this: "The Indestructible Township Jive of Preston" as his subject line. This seemed as good a reason as any for me to give you the latest updates on the music capital of the Uk's adventures. The hot news rockin' the North West is that Preston will apparently soon become a city! Which means Preston will have the same status as The City Of London Town! Isn't that good! I've been saying for ages that Preston could whup Londons arse anyway - now the two teams are in the same league, Preston will have a chance to demonstrate its majestic force. Watch out London! Prestons moved up from the Beazer Home Gardens League to Londons Trendy Met Bar GM Conference league. Ha. VINDICATION! Not really. Even Lancaster is a city these days. Heres a teaser. Rumour has is that my teeny village of Warton, and the next door teeny village of Freckleton (which boasts a "Bargin Booze" outlet) are going to merge, to constitute a new "town". Apart from being quite frankly a big load of bollocks, I've had much amusement from wondering if the new "town" will be called "Warkleton". I went to another beauty spot of the North-West this week as well. Yesterday I was driven at BREAKNECK SPEED in a car that had no brakes (the road drops off going round a corner. Driver squeals round the corner at 60mph, nearly avoiding death, and then cheerfully announces "haha, looks like the brakes are gone!".... I proceed to lose all sanity from then onwards.) to the inbred village of Newton. Its up a steep hill and down a steep hill. You pass a huge great big transmitter-ariel thing. I cant' tell you where exactly it is because I only opened my eyes about three times throughout that journey. Anyway! The purpose of this visit was to see my friend Ben wear a glittery dress and a blonde wig in a Youth Club play. How provincial! I think thats the most 'small-village-girl' I've ever got in my LIFE. I then realised the aching cultural and social chasms between me and the inhabitants of po caffs etc. Jasper Buckaroo, whilst jetting back to London from Paris, on mobile phone to Toby Titwank: Jasper Buckaroo: "Shall one see a Popular Band at the Po Caff, Covent Garden, upon this night?" Toby Titwank: "Yes haw haw, what a splendiferous idea! Shall I bring a bottle of bolly and send round the chauffer?" Jasper Buckaroo: "Sorted!" Whereas I go to Plungington on the number 22 bus. Sarah : "We're going to Newton to watch Ben wear a dress." Sarahs friend: "Yes." Sarah: "Your dad will drive us over steep hills at 60mph and then discover the car has no brakes." Sarahs friend: "Correct once more." Sarah: "You'd better have your camera." Sarahs friend: "I do." Sarah and Sarahs friend in unison: "oh dear...." Sarahs head explodes and she makes no more sense for the rest of the night. That last comment also apllies to Lesley-Jo's art school girl situation. Just say, "look right, I'm fed up with you holding out on me, are we going to snog or what", and lunge for it. You could get drunk beforehand. Hey, I'm only a girl on a mail list, I'm not an advice column. Or!! just kidnap Isobel and whisk her away to your house! At least it means she'd be further away from me. Thank the lord. "The Buxoms"? Do I want to know anything more? Does it invole "Womb Power"? Oh get thee to a Helen Reddy record. I have the best of Helen Reddy. I can't listen to it without feeling I should have underarm hair and my legs crossed. bye then, Sarah xxx +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister@majordomo.net".
