Sinister: I could be your car's one good headlight
Hewwo, Exams are bad. I'm going to take a stand now and say that they are truly evil. I had my first ever proper exam yesterday and it was odd. The blonde's mobile phone went off and it was funny and amusing. And the hard kids threw stuff at me and shouted out 'rectum' and made fart noises and the invigilators never did anything cause they were asleep i think. I have not had the hugest amount of sleep. I was off today cause of study leave. I got to do maths work, but without the hard kids flicking spitball at the back of my neck. And Igor came round and said "Haw, do you wantae cum oot fir sim fitba and we can git a chase aff the 'Wegie neds in spit oan theim?". And I said, no. But he prank phone called James the Ginger Perv instead, and i had to stuff my hand in my mouth so I wouldn't laugh and give it away. I am forever indebted to him for making me giggle like that. Especially when he pretended to be Julian Danskin and said "Hewwo young james, would you like some polish meat in you?". Lay of Sheffield Wednesday. They are good because their nickname is the owls and they have a nice little owl on their badge, called tommi. Except I made that part up, but no one's ever said he's not called tommi. All my friends left school now, and I'm still there, with the blonde. But I've hopefully only got one year left, before I go to uni, drop out and become a binman. I don't much fancy being a binman. I could become a pop star, and do interviews where I urge people to vote for the Green Party cause they like trees and then sensationally split my band up, because I couldn't get Ribena on tap in my dressing room when we play the Albert Hall just like B&S are doing the toffs. I got a really nice good luck card from someone who signed it "Your Fairy Godmother". I'd say it was probably my real godmother, but she hates me. She's a bit of a grownup hard kid. I would laugh if B&S played the SECC, cause spice girls played there and they are grate. Oh, and lay off Shed Seven too. They are good, they sound just like Bananarama. I've become a badge whore. This is my logic, because I will have any badge, as long as it pins to my jacket. My latest badges are: two french one, a spanish one and an italian one from my languages teacher, a rainbow guides one which I found, a Nu Metal one, which says 'Nu Metal' (and then "is pish I love pop" in biro, who could have wrote that i wonder?). Oh and a Star Trek one. I love Star Trek, I don't care if its sad. It really annoys my when people say "if memory serves me". My old english teacher says that and it makes me want to commit a violent and sickening homicide because it makes him sound like a complete pretentious prat and its such a teachery thing to come out with. Oh, if anyone here says that I'm going to go red and apologise now. I'm going a bit mad, amen't I? I think its exams. They're not a positive thing at all. I'm going to go away now. Maybe I'll study. Maybe I'll watch some rainbow brite. Or daydream about what Pamela said about Chris Geddes and strawberry jam.

no they rubbish and they're not the owls there the pigs as history will tell us: "The Wednesday" sports club was formed on 4th September 1867. The club was founded as a "Gentleman's Cricket Society. The football club was not founded until 13 years later, and first played its games at the Olive Grove Sports Ground in Heeley before moving to a new stadium in the Owlerton district of Sheffield. The first Ordnance Survey maps (1850's) mark a building close to where the stadium now stands as 'Swine Cottage'. They also show another farm on Penistone Road, south of where the North Stand is situated, which was also believed to be a large piggery. Pork farming is thought to have been practised in the area since the early 1800's, and did not cease until around 1900 when the city's rapid expansion put an end to livestock production in the area. At its height the "Owlerton Piggery," as it was known, provided work for some 50 employees. Initial discussions about a nickname began soon after the Wednesday arrived at Owlerton. In reference to their new home, most club officials were in favour of "The Owls." However, another suggestion was also popular. In view of the area's strong tradition of pork farming, a popular grass-roots alternative was "The Pigs." Indeed the clubs board was split 50 / 50 when they took a vote on the new nickname. The Chairmans vote swung it and they decided upon The Owls. However as one board member was quoted in the minutes We may now be called The Owls, but well always be The Pigs to me. Although the name "Owls" prevailed, many working class supporters continued to refer to their team as "t'pigs." As late as the 1920's, fans used to welcome their team onto the field with the characteristic grunting sound we still associate with the club. BBC commentator Edward Milburn, who famously described Hillsborough as a sea of grunts moments after The Wednesday won the First Division title in 1932, once referred to this peculiarity. Although most Wednesday fans deny it today, the evidence that they are "pigs" is unequivocal. from http://www.sufc.co.uk/ ps sorry i will never blatenley miss use sinsiter ever again for promtoing sheffield united and besmirching sheffield wednesday +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister@missprint.org.
