Dear All i hope this finds everyone in good health , i am not , my consumption growing ever worse and the gout has kicked in again and my leprosy has lost me my other foot , also i can't find that last deleted smith's record , will the pain never end So how is everyone today? i am actully quite well and i love winter even though winter here generally contains rain some sun then more rain as the dirtiest of dirty vicars will agree with , it literally hasn't stopped pissing with rain for the last 8 days here which is bloody annoying but it added some atmosphere around the city for the jazz festival i don't why i had played the jazz festival up in my mind so much i was expecting small smokey venues with old fellas playing - i only found one of those and it was only ok .the other night we went to a hotel with 5 different rooms some good some great and some hideous. There was enough swing music though to keep us all dancng to the wee small hours and somehow with thinking ahead we managed to get a taxi straight away by ordering one . not just a hat rack what was good however was the various friends of friends that we met that were down from various parts of the country and we had a laugh Beer festival was good on the same weekend , i love the fact that the city allow all venues to have late opening for the sake of this festival. But i read in the paper( a broadsheet so it HAS to be true) that guinness are thinking of moving the cork jazz festival to dublin - so does that mean that we will become jackeens for that weekend? does it mean that cork will become dublin and vice versa? am i rambling ? i think so...... The QANDA section on the website has let us see the real stuart murdoch - i read with great interest mr murdoch's and mr geddes view on the whole iraqi (or shall we say iraqui) situation but i was slightly disturbed to hear that stevie wears BEN SHERMAN shirts. Here we call trendy people Ben Shermans cos all look so clean and stuff but maybe it is different north of the border and east of the island However i must say i sort of like this proactive approach to things even though i hope this glasnost will not wreck their lives for some mad reason. I hope ken enjoyed the london clues and i hope they were worth it So my brother is being conferred today even though it isn't really *That* important ( ie he still has to get his degree) we are all doing the whole family thing to this nice restaurent and stuff which should be nice I am have itchy feet and an itchy arse and want to get away somewhere- i am looking into oslo at the moment cos it looks nice and someone i know has just come back from there and said it was nice cool and crisp- anywhere scandanavian should do as i really want to see the northern lights-i just hope it isn't cloudy if ever i do get up that end of the continent. i suppose i should do some shout outs but i have never actully met any of you so i will just say hello to the irish sinister massive (if you do infact exist ) and the wider sinister massive ( if you actully do exist or maybe it is my other personallities that have been writing all these emails to myself for the last 3.5 years) plague and pestillence love and lollipops J (music listened to whilst writing- joy division velvet underground redneck manifesto and the jimmy cake) +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister@missprint.org.
