I think it's about this point where Honey would normally start warning people (not anyone in particular, naturally) to make sure their posts don't start turning into flames. I'm not quite sure what provoked all these anti-indie-snob diatribes, since I don't recall any such attitudes recently; but remember, those attitudes must exist with some people on a list this size, so let's not slag anyone off, OK? And anyway, we've discussed this many times before, as you could see in the archives if they existed at the moment ;-) I decided a while ago that if somebody doesn't want to like me because of something I believe, or a way I act, or something I say, or whatever else, chances are they must be someone I wouldn't get on with anyway, so I'm not losing anything from the situation. My life's been a lot more stress-free since adopting that philosophy. Try it sometime... I know noone asked me to be babysitter while Honey's out, so I'll go back to doing normal babysitter things like making long-distance phonecalls and raiding the drinks cabinet. Nice to see Archel posting; but very disappointing to see that it was almost entirely devoid of smut. One short sentence about your arse just isn't good enough. Your reputation will start to slip, and we can't have that. Angelina Jolie - the new Monica Queen. Who'd have thought it? I bet Stuart will be quite happy, but Isobel might get upset that it's someone else's arse getting all the attention. I have been accused of betraying my principles in my last post. So to clear up any confusion, just because I think the Lilac Time are a delight of melodic wonderment doesn't mean I've given up trying to convert you all to the joys of The Whitlams. It's just hard persuading people of the merits of a band whose records haven't been released in this country yet. I always thought the whole point of everything Ken does was to pull. Big Stu PS The reason there haven't been loads of Manchester picnics is because it's always raining. +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister@missprint.org.
