Hello! Nothing of interest in here, I'd get to that delete key quick! It's getting harder to think up subject headings here, this is why I don't post as often as I should. I'm even harboring a suspicion that I've used that one before. I'm on a train. I *can't* check the archives. (but I have a collection of digests, and I'm not afraid to use them!) Anyway, as promised (threatened) by sinister's own Mr. Quiff (should there be a rule regarding minimum sentence length imposed on Mr. Richard. Gill. And. Ers. ?) I 'm posting once again. With lots of brackets (I like them, they turn me on) Quite a lot's happened since I last posted (digest #460!! Has it really been that long?) so bear with me, and I'll try to give you the highlights, by (ab)using the long-held sinister tradition of SUBJECT HEADINGS. PICNICS Well, there was a summer, wasn't there? Loads and loads of people came to visit me in GLASGOW (they may not have arrived for me *exclusively*, except for Ken, who was looking to pick up a couple of tips for pulling the ladies. And Lady wasps, apparently!) I visited EDINBURGH, too - there I am, in the right of the picture. Fisticuffs were averted at the last minute. Sorry. DUNDEE next. A meeting with a famous dog, and The Girl. I Can't wait, It'll be GRATE! PUBS There have been rather more of these than there should have been. Just ask my bank manager - don't tell him you've seen me, OK? I met more people that probably thought I was a bit scary. I am. WhoooHoooHooo! WEDDING BELLES My Car smiled. So did everyone else. Ailsa wore White. Flattering. Ally wore Red(Dress). Flirting. I wore Green(Hunting). Flatulent. Someone else didn't wear pants. I'm not telling who *she* was. GIGALICIOUS Joan of Arse - Amazing. Dudley Corp - Astounding. Time is fleet~<urk> whoopsie. Almost sang a verboten song there. Mr. Joss has to be the hardest working drummer in showbiz. I managed to get his drumsticks, then give them away. Did the Belles play? I can't remember. I saw Camera Obscura play in a church hall, although I almost saw an "excellent" guitar recital instead. Looking forward to the Lucksmiths in Glasgow. That'll be Blinding. VISITING DIGNITARIES, in no particular order. It was really nice to finally meet: Oztralian. With a talent for Drinking and Singing and Playing Guitar. And Falling Over. American. With a talent for Carwashoke and Moaning. Greek. With a talent for Hugs and JoJo possession. American *and* Greek (!) With a talent for Art, Writing and Dancing. HONORABLE MENTIONS, amphetabetically. That bit where I fire off a few quick cryptic messages. Skip this bit if your name's not here! (I wouldn't worry about it too much even if it is!) Ally96 - Daphne & Celeste. It's been too long. Breams - AhludjeyaCnt. Or something. Dahling - I have My Ring safe and sound in my "special things" drawer. GHD - Still out there? Miss you, man. KenDobber - Can you explain the dealer button to me, please? PF - Not Whales. Wails. I stayed Here, she went There. What was it you said about love again? Pookie - I promised I would, and I haven't - I will. I Promise. ;-) Vel - More Turkish delight, please. Nose sugar sounds like drugs. But isn't. I'm still preparing the reply present. And If I've forgotten anyone... Please remind me! Better stop before I get a digest all to myself ;-) YOU FORGOT A BIT Oh, B&S content? Well, I've heard the maths teachers song, Marks and Angles. I was forced to, honest! And very nice it is too. That do? YES, THANK YOU - FINISH UP NOW See you in #Sinsiter. Or, indeed, #sinister ;-) Love and chocolate buttons! Cal. xxxx Sinister Hotel Management, in the style of Basil Fawlty.
