what a halloween party that was! How is sinister this brisk, brown day? Well, I hope. James Danson Hatcher's (or is that Dancin' Hatchback) epic tale of bipedular endurance got me thunkin. What's the furthest distance travelled in the name of B&S without the assistance of a motor or engine of any kind? NOBODY WAS REALLY PLAYING ANYTHING OF INTEREST I've been holding a vigil by the radio this week desperate to hear the new single. So far 11 solid hours of airtime have been unfruitful to say the least. I really need another stereo cos I have found it difficult to listen to Xfm and radiowon at the same time :-( Then, when I flipped stations I was paranoid it would be playing on the other station, then I wanted to know the football score and switched to radio5, then I fell asleep. A CENTURY OF FAKERS? Crushes have got to be a good thing. Haven't they? And you can take it as seriously or as frivolously as you like. If you end up getting spliced and doing rude things with your crush then great. If you don't, what have you lost, really? naffink (asides perhaps a little bit of a dreamy feeling you once had) Yeah I suppose just don't pin your hopes on it. God, hark at me being Clare Raynor!! (Note to non UK listees, Claire Raynor=ageing agony aunt) I too am sad to see the passing of the Divine Comedy, tho I'm sure Neil Hannon will be back, but I doubt he'll ever match the heights of 'A Drinking Song'. A PICNIC FOR THE FOOLS IN THAT LONDON Cola Cube Cay said, "on 18th November which would be super-ace as it's a Sunday" Then that pesky hatchback re-affirmed it with; "picniconthe18thpicniconthe18thpicniconthe18thpicniconthe18thpicniconthe18th primrosehillprimrosehillprimrosehillprimrosehillprimrosehillprimrosehillprim rosehill" and I said Yay!! (quietly and to myself, but with a sense of great anticipation) cos that's 2 minutes from my house. But then, all of a sudden "picnic on the lovely Primrose Hill on the 17th November. (Note the date change)" Calamity and disaster!! Having already rallied the sinisterfitba troops for the 18th (well sort of) and being press ganged into attending a work 'team building exercise' on a warship on the Thames on the Saturday. Well I am most unhappy, but what can I do? .........Hmmmm.......I could suggest a full weekend autumn sinister extravaganza with two days of picnics/pubs/dancing/drinking/fitba/singing/redbulldozerslive(Ken?). Ah it'll never happen. Goodnight and sleep tight whether you're under 20, over 25, (or in between), a Will, a Rachel, a Chris, or even a half a bee. But especially a Rachel ;-) Ben xxx +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister@missprint.org.
