right hello one and all i hope this finds you all in fine fettle. i am in the finest of fine fettles that one could be in and the reason for this is that i am just back from a dalilience en paris for a week which was nice. We managed to goet rather cheap ryanair tickets ?20 (euro) no including taxes which again was rather nice. We saw all the major sights as you do purely because you feel you ought to even though you feel so dirty for doing so. Buti must say it was really nice to see the eiffel tower even though the lowest floor was wrapped up in green netting due to repainting or something. But you will be glad to know we found time to drink even though in one place we went to it ?21 for 3 pints which ahem wasn't nice but the place called le fleche d'or was in an old railway station. The night we went there was pumping techno of the good variety playing and after we were there for a while a ska fusion band got up and played until past 2 which was nice and we were of course surrounded by french women which was grate. We also found a few jazz places near where we were staying which we frequented evening in evening out. Paris suprised me really-i was expecting a mueseum city much like venice but what i got was completly different and i htink i probably liked it so much becuase it defied so many of my expectations. And in the musee d'orsay i saw a guy wearing an ambersand t-shirt i think it was on friday-i nearly said something but didn't- WAS IT YOU?????????????? But alas now i am back to stupid reality even though whilst sitting outside shakespeare and co i was figuring out a way to either convince them i was writer and mooch of them for a while or try and get a job and stay there like my bastard brother (not in the literal sense more in the lucky bastard sort of way) and cousin who get to live there while i have to stay in crappy cork and figure out the best way to get away. An interesting turn of events occured though when we were there when on sunday Le Pen was voted through to the 2nd round of presidential elections- and of course where were we staying? Why at the centre of where the protests were all being held of course BASTILLE so when we coming home in the evenings before going out we had to walk through riot police water cannons people shouting etc which was a rather surreal couple of days- heres hoping that le pen burns in the recesses of hell along with hitler and the third dog that played lassie. Right content time i suppose. Why oh why is it so bloody expensive to get to gastonbury? i live as the crow flies about a 300 mile swim of row from cornwall or bristol so if any sinisterines feel like building a viking row boat or stealing one from the national museum please feel free to contact me and i'll arrange ballaclavas etc. Right now i am back to stupid reality i shall bid you all adieú godspeed remember that baboons do not laugh at each others arses and neither should any of you j ps top tens of any kind both suck and blow +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister@missprint.org.
