SHAKING HANDS WITH THE UNEMPLOYED May I say how much I enjoyed my very first London picnic. I, however, shall not stoop to namedropping as others have done. I enjoyed playing football (and can confirm that the "colours" won) I enjoyed drinking I enjoyed talking I enjoyed dancing I enjoyed hearing the tale of how someone bought a large screen TV set to replace his girlfriend. I enjoyed hearing the tale of how someone's mate (heterosexual male. That's his mate, not him) got off with Danbert Nobacon, believing him to be a girl. I was also told by a Spanish girl that as long as I continue to wear nice clothes I will never have anything to worry about, and by a Canadian girl that I could *HAVE* any girl I wanted if I went to North America as a result of my Scottish accent. Can any listees confirm these facts, especially the second one please. FOUR HOUR MARATHON SESSION The recent Scottish poetry which was posted by Calumn and tjohn reminded me of a great song which we used to be taught to sing at school, so here it is: "YE CANNAE THROW YER PIECES AFF A 20 STOREY FLAT" (To be sung to the tune of "Ye cannae throw yer pieces aff a 20 storey flat") Oh, ye cannae throw yer pieces aff a 20 storey flat, 700 hungry weans 'll testify tae that If it's butter, cheese or jeely, if the breid is plain or pan The odds against it reachin' earth are 99 tae wan. Ooh, I've just thougth of another one: "YE CANNAE SHOVE YER GRANNY AFF A BUS" (To be sung to the tune of...oh, never mind) Oh ye cannae shove yer granny aff a bus Ye cannae shove yer granny aff a bus No ye cannae shove yer granny, cos she's yer mammy's mammy Ye cannae shove yer granny aff a bus. I love Scotland. Don't you? RED RAW An Italian boy wrote:

And I salute him for managing to fit masturbation, football and my name into a single sentence. Well done son. Love, Alasdair xx PS To the man with the beard that isn't really a beard who asked if anyone remembered HQ on Saturday night, I do and it was good. Especially when I attempted to recreate Saturday Night Fever with an English girl. I think. +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister@majordomo.net".
