All this talk of old times has brought me out of hibernation...This morning I booked my ticket for Bath Pavillions on 7th December. Something (desperately needed) to look forward to. Looking backwards however, I decided to search the Sinister Archives to see what bilge I used to post when I was last here. Weirdly, whilst seeing things I posted in the past usually makes me cringe, my old sinister postings made me smile. I crashed in on Wed, 27 Aug 1997 at 18:34:11 with a de-lurking post not dissimilar to this one - mentioning 'the new list', which suggests there was an old list, which I can't remember at all. I disappeared after the 5th November 1999 after confessing to attending a W.A.S.P gig eleven years previously. I think I needed to go away and think seriously about things after a confession of that magnitude... In between I rarely managed to post on topic, but people generally tolerated my musings. I hope you'll all indulge me once again. So, I'm back, the band are back, and today I can smell the winter coming for the first time this year. Happy days!
