Sinister: I wish that life could be just like a photograph. But not one of me...
You people are dirty. That's why I love you. That picnic thing on Saturday was a bit of a laugh. Jen can handle her drink far better than me, but then I am a big girl's blouse. She's now a fully paid up member of the Sinister "we're only happy in the pub" brigade, and long may she rool. Everyone else was brill as well. I strive to match the coolness level of these people. I'm not succeeding. I also heard Legal Man for the first time, and it's fantastic! Although obviously it promotes anarchy. Which is a..........good thing! "JESUS CHRIST!", you may have said to yourself as you opened the first new photo on the picnics page. Who the HELL is that ugly bastard? Well, unfortunately, tis me. I thought I'd seen some bad photo's of myself but that takes the entire biscuit barrel and the sweet trolley with it. Overall a good weekend, only marred by the fact that I had to spend most of it with those complete arses Martin "Playground Love" Robinson and Matt "Cunt" Powell. Those people are the scum on my boots. Laughing at B&S members dancing has long been a hobby of mine, and this weekend has been a top one for my scrapbook, with a new "cossack" variation from Chris and the usual alternate bouncing feet while spinning from Murdoch. These people should not be allowed out in a civilised society. Mind you, neither should I. Sarah said:
Fellow sinners,
First off:
And for a second I thought she said "Fuck Off", which would have been the greatest start to a mail ever. But it wasn't. Luckily, though, the rest of her mail was great, so that made up for the disappointment. I don't have much to say at the moment, as I can never be bothered to get involved in list issues. Because I'm really stupid. Oh, I went on Sinister chat for the first time today, and it was wonderful. The way you can talk to people without having to see their ugly mugs. And vice versa. Actually I think Trousers was the only one in there with an ugly mug. It has a picture of Ron Atkinson on it. Boom boom. When, will I, will I be funny? Never. Finally, Lawrence M said:
amongst the dull indie pop came "She's Losing It", and I got up and danced and danced and danced and, for two minutes, I have never felt so happy.
Which made me think of the end of a poem by Auden. It's from memory, though, so might not be right. It goes Dance, dance, for the figure is easy The tune is catching and will not stop Dance till the stars come down with the rafters Dance, dance, dance till you drop. And on that note, I shall take my leave. I have to find a hammer so I can smash Matt Powell's face in. I'll smash it so much he'll end up actually looking handsome. Then I'm off to the swings with Martin Robinson. Bye. Alasdair xx PS This has been a bit of a rubbish post, hasn't it? Sorry, I'm tired. +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the undead Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister@missprint.org.

Hello kiddies, Crikes I haven't done this for a while as I've been preoccupied with a study of the diet and mating habits of the Spheniscidae family who live next door. I hope I can still write irrelevant, witless rhetoric. Anyway, I should like to begin by giving some really quite extensive props to those members of our Glaswegian fraternity who all contributed to me having an exceedingly pleasant weekend whilst 99 miles North of the border with civilisation. Seneca once said something like we should expect little and our expectations shall not be let down, but no one could expect to have a weekend that good whilst continually in the company of Alasdair Cook surely. I doubt if we'll be welcome back in a hurry by the Cookie monster's friend(s) and relatives as the company of "the complete arse" dMatt and I has seems to have left the poor lad afflicted with Tourette's Syndrome judging by his last post. And the tradition of visitors (and I don't mean singing Sumo yokels) spewing in the company of these hardened Glaswegians weened on McEwans seems to have been broken by only a certain home player's ail??ment resulting in chunder. Anyhow, much thanks to Shearer for putting me up and everyone up there for putting up with me. Including even the barmaid who asked me if I wanted a pint of Tenant's. I've really never been so insulted. I did find it odd though to see all these Scottish pop stars wandering the streets and generally being everywhere. Next I'll be thinking they're actually human and just like me. Well not exactly like me obviously as that would be scary, except maybe if I met Morissey apparently. Hmmm... Anyway Londoners see you on the 20th on Greenwich Hill for more picnicking mayhem. I'll probably only be there for a while as I'll be wandering around for hours looking for that country bumpkin Carsmile. Cool your Wellies Mr Hewitt, it's easy to find. It's right behind the observatory at the start of Blackheath Avenue on the following map (or email me if you want me to meet you at a station and hold your hand and hamper up the hill): http://www.streetmap.co.uk/streetmap.dll?grid2map?X=538750&Y=177250&zoom =1 My, my I really am an uninteresting man for which I can only blame my parents for a sheltered upbringing. Anyway, must carry on as life sized paper mache Jim Rockford's don't make themselves do they?
