"Only joking". You know crows, the way they walk around knocking over shopping trolleys and pushing small children out the way? They're getting bigger by the week aren't they? It's really scary. Oh and... thank you all for being so charming about the kerfuffle from Friday. I do have sympathy with those list members who appeal to people to stop talking about the list on the list, but in this case I thought I wasn't in any position to push that. But seeing I've received about 40 mails saying "ignore the crap, Sinister's great, keep it going!" let's do just that shall we? It seems I'm guilty of misjudging a teensy bit the coherency and intelligence of this lovely place you've all created in my womb, so I'm just going to stand on the sidelines for a bit, a smiley impressed dimple in my cheek, sucking my finger... and doing those dull list admin jobs that make me so happy if you're all happy, or energised, or something by Sinister. I'll try and shut up a bit more too, I promise. (I'm trying to find a way to say thank you to you all, but can't without sounding twee as fuck). So - normal service resumed. List rules apply. Discussion about the list ON the list are herein discouraged again unless your house is on fire - please be public spirited and see where it leads. Don't flame. If you don't want a response to what you're about to send, don't mail anything. Think of Sir Cliff. Gamble in the fields and be happy. Tim said:

The last few days have been a great illustration of why it's generally a good idea to keep list-talk away from the list, don't you reckon?

Tim, keep list-talk away from the list please. Oh and, remember that if any of you do have comments about the list, what you'd like to see, what you like or don't about the way it's run you can always mail me off-list, and I'll try and try to reflect the majority view like a sexy antique mirror. But please be patient as I've got a ton of metaphorical flowers to send to people just now, and I'm verrrry very slow. Finally: I can't see that anyone's mention this yet but I'm a blind old bat: http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio1/evening/lamacq_live/belle.html It's got a WWW page and 20 minute Realaudio program on Bowliewowlie, lots of Richard, Bowlie footie team gossip etc. I haven't even heard it all yet, but it's there if you want it. Carry on, Sergeant Wilson.
