hello, and also au revoir to everyone who's leaving their pooters for xmas. i suspect that while mother archel is watching the vicar of dibley and grandma archel is asleep in front of it, i shall have nothing better to do than look at festive internet porn/sinister bodyparts. <sigh> HISTORY young roddy spoke of violence erupting while watching the bootleg beatles. said band played at my graduation ball and hence will always connote worse things than thuggish threats: drunken lovey-dovey couples the male halves of whom i had previously had my heart broken by, my own soon-to-be-ex boyfriend not there, feeling stupid trying to do the twist in a huge ballgown, not getting drunk enough, saying goodbye to the happiest days of my life. if i ever see them live again i'll probably have a nasty flashback and the tears held back for a decade or whatever will all come flooding out. hm, that wasn't very cheery. anyway, i accidentally heard the westlife cover of 'seasons in the sun' the other day, and that made graduation seem like a picnic (a sinister one of course.) NAUTICAL NAUGHTINESS did you know that the names 'morrissey' and 'murdoch' are actually quite closely related, etymologically? they both derive from words to do with the sea, murdoch means 'sea warrior' i believe. which will come as no surprise to those of us who've seen struan's longboat. ie. owen. DEAD ANIMALS CAUSE ATHEISM my house was the biggest pet cemetery ever. we had about 7 mice, all of whom were called monty, all of whom escaped, and all of whom were subsequently savaged by our cat (rover). then there were gerbils sooty and sweep, who produced 11 babies, then succumbed to a bout of post-natal depression and both died, leaving the babies to slowly starve to death. that was when i started to mime the words to the lord's prayer in school assemblies, i think. the show is over, thought i'd something more to say... happy liza minelli-um, luv archel ps: happy birthday trousers and ailsa - i'll see one of you, sorry to the other one! ********* Rachel Playforth archel@iname.com +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister@majordomo.net".
