Ah, finally I can emerge from the nursery and actually feel like a part of this list, almost like I'm <sniff> being accepted into the <sob> family. How beautiful. If I'd actually made it to Bowlie, thought of something really interesting to say or peppered this message with witticisms then maybe tomorrow I'd be some kind of universally-adored folk hero as opposed to a seedy ne'er-do-well. Anyway, I just read something relating to bad university experiences, and as the rain falls hard on humdrum Bangor I can say I truly empathise. I came here from Manchester in September only to find that every boozer shuts at 12a.m. and that the place is full of rugby player types keen on dishing out abuse. Still, imagine my surprise when I attended our weekly 'indie' night (Beastie Boys and FLC anyone? Me neither) and saw a lad in a 'Study at Stow' T-shirt! YES! I wasn't wearing a B&S shirt that night, so I think I scared him a little when my friend David and I approached to congratulate him. However, it's lovely to know that there are folk that appreciate similar delights, even in a far-flung corner of Gogledd Cymru. So, even at the dullest university I found people with something in common. It's just a shame that B&S themselves don't want to brighten up this stale valley ... -- ------------ Ciarán Lynch elu488@bangor.ac.uk +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister@majordomo.net".
