I believe Ken has been claimed by the wilds of Scotland and may thus be incapable of reporting back (or possibly just incapable, depending on how much beer he's drunk). Not proper RB I'm afraid as I'm in a rush, but here's a brief ode to the delightful picnic last Saturday, attended by Ken, myself plus bump, Mr and Mrs Bapps aka Ben and Rachel, Robster and James: ********* Another sunny day, I met them outside the Odeon Ken was digging vests, but someone had stolen the Unwins Bapps took a photograph of us in the herbaceous border It broke the heart of goths and tourists and joggers and mums. Another rainy day, we're trapped inside with a few pints Archel's on the OJ, steamy windows and stray cats We've had the hilltop view looking out on the London Eye And on a Saturday evening ringtones play in the dusk. Another day in August, we've not got enough for football There's frisbee for a bit, the wind is giving us fuck all We saw them in the corner of our eyes on the sidelines The dogs and pigeons bid us to hysterical deeds. All the crisps are gone, we wander back to the tube stop I take the Brighton route, they stay out after midnight We took the Regents Park Road over to the offy We found the avenue of trees went up Primrose Hill That crazy avenue of trees, Sinister's living there still. ******** And indeed it is. Archelx PS. Has anyone seen the photo of Stuart in Icelandic footballing mode on the B&S website at the moment? Arms, legs and shoulders of sex or what?! +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister@missprint.org.
