Dear lovelies! Did you know that it's less than a month until Sinister's FIFTH birthday? Go shopping for red knickers now! Five years, blimey. That’s a lot of posts. It’s worth having a look back – some of them are very funny. You can find them all here… http://www.missprint.org/sinister/archive.html I actually emerged from the nursery, with my fur still damp and my eyes a-blinking, on Sinister’s second birthday, which means I’ll be three myself, soon. I’ve been having a browse through the archives lately to see who was posting back then and have noticed one or two familiar names. For example, in August 1999, one Tim Hopkins warns strangers to Scotland to watch out for a crooked Glaswegian who goes by the name of Alasdair Cook. Well! I think various amongst us might like to have heard this information before turning up to the picnic on Saturday, where none other than the villain himself was seen violently attacking the shins of the other players on the footie pitch, wallowing in a dirty puddle and he may even have indulged in the foul practice of minesweeping in the pub. Were you watching your drink the whole time? Well, were you? The aforementioned picnic was rather a large one. I will make a stab at a list of those present, but please don’t be offended if I miss you off (or if you really *must* be offended, run off and exchange bitchy emails with Richard Gillanders, Sunnyset and Num, who I forgot were at the QMU gig). OK, here goes: me, Ally Cook, Carey Lander, Gav Partick, Sarahluv, Nick Dastoor, Mark Casarotto, picnicmum Idles, Sweetie, Thomas Henderson, Starfire Dave, Sunnyset, Belledog, Stefano, Brian ‘three lines’ McNeil, Michael Grant, Caity Pig, Richard Gillanders, John Popleague and A BLOODY DOG ON WHEELS, WHICH TWEE FUCKER BROUGHT THAT THEN?!? Ahem. So, there’s your list of names and here’s your gossip: Holding hands, snogging and at one point I noticed some bitch with her head down Idleberry’s cleavage. That Belle, she’s such a tart. Hmm, what else? I think Mark’s one-minute-wank has been mentioned already, but it’s too good not to repeat (I mean, I’m sure he’s repeated the feat once or twice). Thomas Henderson revealed himself. As a rival to Ken in the shit hot goalkeeper stakes, I mean, duh! He deserves special props because his perfectly serviceable pair of trousers was ravaged by grass stains, mud and possibly other filth by the end of the game, which ended a most exciting 10-9. I drank a whole can of beer in the park and was not arrested. An awful lot of the afternoon is a complete blur, for the usual reasons, so I can't think of anything else to say except that, of course, I wish you were all there too. ************************* Now for some wanton promotion: The Winchester Club North Woodside Road 13th July, 9pm-2am featuring AEROSPACE (http://aerospace.filur.com/) CHRIS LEONARD (http://www.sleekasounds.co.uk/) DANCING ‘TIL 2AM ************************* Te-ra Juicy Lucy ===== The one, the only Glasgow Indie List! http://groups.yahoo.com/group/glasgow-indie/ __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
