if i'm going to be in charge of the sinister football team, let's make one thing clear. i do not tolerate...only having 2 (and a half) players!!! so far we've got steve c in doing a magnificent holding job in midfield, mark 'I've got just the right sort of spunk to penetrate even the tightest boxes (!)' casarotto err, scoring the goals, and umm, me on the right wing until someone who can actually run applies...so c'mon, whatcha waiting for? you're guaranteed a game... <rachel is having flashbacks to the weeks before the start of this season where oxford united had a squad of 12 - including a couple of cripples - to start the promotion (oh the ironic optimism) push with...surely us sinister kids can cobble together a better team than the mighty yellows...please???> ...and i'll bribe you with a colouring competition to decide the strip (but please, not red), my supermarket (the real life one) is doing two for one on packets of mars ice cream bars!! it's not really winter... imagine, 8 mars ice creams for £1.99...or for free if you design the nicest shirt/shorts/socks combo, come on you know you want to.... i witnessed a colleague (god i hate that word, but i'm not calling helen a friend cos she's a bit of a bitch and NEVER lends cigarettes) walk out of her job today. it was wicked...i think she watched QAF2 last night (wasn't it ace? tho, yeah the ending was a bit weak)...she stormed into the cash office, ripped down her eddie irvine (yuk) posters, walks out of the warehouse with everyone nervously following her, stands at the front of the shop and cuts up her staff discount card, turns on one heel while giving the one fingered salute and leaves. wow. it was magnificent. i wish i could do that. i wish i wasn't miss reliable, who'll probably never ever leave. i know i don't do much, but i'm always there. i would love to just go, in a blaze of glory. i nearly did once, but only because of a highly charged and frankly hilarious argument with my ex boss about the warehouse door and a jar of tomato juice...we ended up in the pub. so much for my resignation... i had other stuff to say. i really shouldn't start these posts so late, i can never remember what i wanted to write about. hmmm. okay, just time wasting now <overdue stuff to do: 7 essays to write, 1 piece of coursework to do, 2 shakespeare plays to read. 4 days of half term left. bollocks. yet again i have resorted to sophisticated evasion techniques (i.e more sophisticated than staying in bed all day). tomorrow, definitely> nothing to say, so lovin' and leavin' you rachel xxx +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the undead Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister@missprint.org.
