Ian offended me greatly as I take myself _very_ seriously and wear black and have dark hair and pale skin. But I spoil it by having freckles. Anyway, I said being a goth was like being a belle and sebastian fan which _some_ people felt was similar to be being gay in that "you can see where they're coming from and respect them for it, but you wouldn't want to do it yourself".... end goth bit Ian made me laugh, though. Although I think he should know that Saint Peter has stolen his e-mail address There was some talk before I went of how dissappointing the new Pulp album was but I feel it is necessary to oppose this motion, having got the said piece of plastic and aluminium with P U L P written on the cover for christmas. It is lovely and Jarvis has proved to be an even more brilliant person than i had possibly imagined. "Sunrise" is the best song of the year. Yes, including all the Belle and Sebby songs. Because all the ones this year were just not up to scratch really. Robin: LEGAL MAN RAAAAWWWWWQUWAES! I luv it 'special as it was the first B&S thing i ever bought Jason asked about transatlantic namesakes. I found that I there are a load of Vesters living in Salt Lake City, although I do actually have family in massateuchetts (spell?) or somewhere and some distant ancestors from Chicago. So christmas came and went, i got a tierack. yeah, i know, you're all jealous now. I ask you, what the hell do i need a tierack for? I mean, i never wear ties, except to school and I've lost my school tie over the holidays so what on eaaarrrth do i need a tierack for? [grumble grumble moan moan]. So, life goes on and school starts and I got to go to the london boat show because I do sailing as a sport which is a total doss and meant we got to avoid a WHOLE DAY OF SCHOOL. Hahhahahahahaha. And we wandered around the whole place, being given freebies and tons of rubbish by varying companies while we looked at £1.5million motor yauhts, which I still can't spell. I love Simon and Garfunkel! And Pulp! And Muse! And this obscure little band called Belle and Sebastian who you won't have heard of. I also wondered if the sinister world would like to take part in a sunflower growing competition. I don't know if this would meet with approval as I suppose that it just won't appeal to lots of you and also many of you won't have gardens but anybody who has a balcony on their flat (which is where I would grow mine) could enter. This may have been done before as you are all a very twee and imaginative lot so I apologise if that is the case as I have not checked the archives as I am EVIL. Sorry. A bientot mes petits legumes Joe P.S. Sorry to anyone I have offeneded by calling them a small vegtable P.P.S. I was called something today! guess what? Corduroy Boy. I'm sorry, Tom. They did it entirely of their own initiative. I just thought it was funny. +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister@missprint.org.
