Dearest Sinisterettes, Greetings from the shores of Niko. It's been an inordinate amount of time since I posted - I dodged around the flotsam of ATP (It was good; trust the reports. I also got to play cricket), then waded through the deep lagoon of pre-single/pre-tour anxiousness. But now I can dispense with the analogies and see who is left on my picnic blanket to talk to, about gigs and stuff. GIG Is ANYONE going to the Cardiff gig? I mean, it'd be cool for it to be just my 10 friends (that's all I have...sob). but I'd like my "Sinister people I've met" tally to pass 3 (that includes my crush, sadly). An email and possible pre/post/mid gig drinky could be arranged...free beer for you...? B&S BADGES have been 'discontinued', says Ms House. Should any people have spares/extras/generous hearts, I will pay OBSCENE amounts of spondoolicks for 2 (like �10 for both?). I thou art feeling generous enough to sell them to me, please email! UTILITARIANISM I was reading 'Teach Yourself Ethics' when that debate started. Freaky. MUSIC 'South' have been billed to play in Bristol twice now without ACTUALLY turning up. I am going to shout at Mo Wax. 'Mull Historical Society' are not good, I was just listening to them and they sound like fucked-up circus music. Scary 'It' Clowns as well ("Don't you want a balloon?"...shudder...) SEE SPOT RUN is the worst movie I have ever seen. Someone needed to accompany my little brother, and I 'short-strawed'. Afterwards, I went to find paint dry to realign my brain. PROMISES What with the election at all, many Sinister people may have noticed my common resemblance to a politician - unfulfilled promises. Rest assured, after June 27th, thou wilst be truly satisfied - indeed, some of you will get more than you may deserve. Does that sound sinister enough? (cue Jaws music...) LIST RULES Does the 15-minute rule apply to devising? I mean, i spend 4 months planning my emails... DOUGLAS ADAMS Proves the rule that too much exercise can kill you. Now for me to take heed and sleep...'The Hitch-Hikers Guide' is still fabulous. I checked last week as I tidied my room (a 5-day campaign...) CHARTS Yes, New Mr Chu, I really really liked it, it was (it was) wicked. That's my stomach song. There's a stupid story behind that. To be honest, I think that song deserved #1 over Radiohead. Their [Radiohead's] new album is literally "Kid B". How dull. What amazes me is how I can skim these 9 pebbles of knowledge across the Sini-sea without causing a single ripple. How sad... Ciao Tuttis, Love Niko xxx PS content - Ooh! Ooh! Singles and Gigs! Ooh! (I'm actually pleased about the former for 'Middle Distance Runner', and the second as it's a day after mon jou de vivre). And I really do read every message of yours. How many of you have seen this, I wonder... __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo!
