greetings o sinister ones firstly: <aaarrgghh!!!> i just got today's digests. my mail from last night/this morning was in it. for anyone who read it, i am deeply deeply sorry. i will never again inflict myself upon you in that sleep-starved state again (did you like the alliteration there?!), i promise. but promises are there to be broken y'know.... still, at least there was another grate post from sarah and leyla. yay! and everyone's looking for tuckers which made me laugh. it's tres disconcerting seeing your surname everywhere! does anyone know how to get an accent over the 'e' btw? tres just doesn't look right without the accent, and i like using tres, cos otherwise i overuse really.... i had a strange experience at work today. it went like this: <me, bored out of my brain repeatedly scanning shopping> 'that'll be £12.39 please.' <guy, looking at me quizzically> 'you're certainly not from round here are you love. that must be a lot of travelling just to work here.' <me doing my best fuck off teenage attitude voice> 'i'm sorry?' <guy being all...jovial. yuk.> 'well from gloucester to oxford is a long way' <me getting scowly and hacked off. the guy hadn't even paid goddam!> 'what you chatting about?' 'that's a good old gloucestershire accent you got there. what you doing in the city love? you after a rich hubby or something? cos i can do the business y'know...' < me, my bad mood getting increasingly worse, about to do some fistual damage if he keeps leering> 'i live here <evil look and sneer> i have never been to gloucester, i don't know where the damn place is, don't call me love and that's £12.39. PLEA-se' <him looking patronising> 'ooh, there's a bit of bitterness there isn't there! well, if you say so love, though it's definitely gloucester...and hey, i meant it about 'doing the business' if you're interested...' and so it went on. the smug git did *eventually* pay, though not till after he'd asked what us gloucester girls got up to with sheep...!!! i couldn't believe it! all i can say is that some people are weird and ain't that the truth. and most of them are on this list... ;-) lovin' and leavin' you rachel xxx who is definitely from oxford and can catergorically state that she has never been NEAR gloucester! ever! +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the undead Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister@missprint.org".
