yeeeiip morning it's cowboy chris in disguise as email, last night me and miss julia attended the 'grand ole opry' near GOVAN to see teenage fanclub, and it was tops in an achy breaky kinda way. Support was provided by the v-twin who were better than last time but still pretty damn awful, mostly cos the singers PISH. Teenage Fanclub were ace, it was a very pleasant evening. There was a high Belle and Sebastian presence. Wee chris and stevie (on a few tunes with the moothie) were playing with v-twin and sarah joined teenage fanclub on stage for the big finale which was purty. Struan Murdoch was there too, yelling "TURN IT UP FOR FUCKS SAKE" and "ENCORE!". How I smirked. But what impressed me most all evening was this: There was a man dancing like mad, with a beer mat on his head. I thought, that's a bit strange, to dance with a beer mat on one's head. He danced and danced till eventually he collapsed onto the stage. Meanwhile a fella standing behind him had not been dancing, just bopping a bit. On seeing that the first man had collapsed, the second fella cagily approached and stole the beer mat. He slowly put it on his own head and instantly started dancing like a maddie. You see it had magical properties, this beer mat. Speaking of which, welcome back duke. The building next door to my work burnt down yesterday, did any of you see it on the news? There were 219 fireman involved and the smoke was billowing and belching and we were all coughing and rubbing our red eyes. But would they evacuate the building? No. It was fucking scary, man. But it did made me think of a fiendish mind bender thus: You are in the school playground. You have a ropeswing, which swings between two platforms. One platform is labeled gay pop, the other christian rock. You can swing on the ropeswing with one arm whilst carrying one person (no more) under the other. You are standing on the Fay pop platform with stuart murdoch, isobel and sarah. What you have to do is get them all on the christian rock platform, before the end of playtime. But it's more complicated. Stuart and Isobel can't be left alone on a platform because they will 'snog' and get expelled. And Sarah and Isobel cannot be left alone on the platform because they will play their recorders, and recorders are banned at this school. You know the score. Don't send me answers, it's just for fun. spit nolan +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister@majordomo.net".
