Ken said something in the chatroom: what sort of anniversary is a fifth anniversary? I mean, we know a 50th anniversary is a golden jubilee and a 25th anniversary is a silver jubilee. So what's a fifth anniversary? The answer, it appears (according to Google, at least), is: a fifth anniversary is a Wood Jubilee. So, if you want to send Honey a present to mark Sinister's fifth birthday, you know what you have to do. You have to Get Wood. Ahem. Incidentally, I've probably mentioned it before, but this is one of my favourite posts of the last five years. Probably because it's about the place where I walk to work every day. http://www.missprint.org/sinister/mhonarc/199803/msg00011.html And it's quite funny too. Earlier today, I was out shopping with Idleberry in preparation for the Camera Obscura gig tomorrow (is anyone going? I hope so). We were in Topshop admiring their corduroys, when a shop-worker brushed passed, stopped, and pointed at Idles' "Study At Stow" tshirt. "Belle and Sebastian!" he said, and started talking to us about music for five minutes. He ended up offering to make Idles a Smiths mixtape, I think, but only if she goes back to Topshop in the three days left before he runs away to become a monk, or something. It was all a bit bizarre really. This definitely didn't take fifteen minutes. I am contrite. love caitlin -- http://www.joannou.net/topofthestairs/ Sinister Recipe Tree archives: http://www.joannou.net/topofthestairs/sinifood/ (and yes, the questionnaire is still somewhere on the site but I keep forgetting to update it) "When life gives us lemons, we just sit there and sulk about it, in the corner of the room, in a fetal position." - Matthew Henderson, on the Sinister mailing list. +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister@missprint.org.
