Yeah well - god, it's been a long day. I've upgraded something (perl) at work on what I like to call the "Sinister" machine and it (=I) messed up - I need to upgrade the mailing list software now as it's incompatible, but it's a bit of a job, so I've bodged it for now by delving into the code... Anyway, how tedious, all I am saying is (a) I'm very tired and achy, (b) the list is probably fine, if held together with sellotape for a bit, but tell me if you see big problems, and (c), sorry to Tara and Dr Nick whose messages bounced but are below. Can I go home now please miss? honey who's looking forward to seeing Stuart Murdoch in a cassock on Saturday xxx Date: Thu, 18 Jun 1998 09:14:39 -0700 From: Tara Widmer <TWidmer@xil.com> To: sinister@majordomo.net Subject: Re: Sinister: Joke stuff here... warning absolutely no B+S conten t If you enjoyed that, you should check out the "Letters From A Nut" books by Ted L. Nancy. They are a collection of ridiculous letters this guy wrote to large corporations, and their subsequent responses.... things like, offering Mickey Mantle's toe clippings to the Baseball Hall of Fame. Pretty funny, with a forward written by Jerry Seinfeld. ta t:-) Date: Thu, 18 Jun 1998 17:44:34 +0000 From: Dr Nick Morton <ggy3swm4@novell2.bham.ac.uk> To: Sinister@ph.ed.ac.uk Subject: Its a sinister scandal! Is anyone else miffed that under a new ruling UK singles are going to be restricted to a maximum of three tracks? Mansun and Embrace have already complained but... one track is more than enough from them as far as I'm concerned, what about our beloved B&S? The EP has been a perfectly good format for 40-odd years, why the sudden probem now? And if we have to then buy 2 versions of the CD single to get the same amount of music, thats hardly a solution either. And where does that leave "hidden" tracks, e.g. 3...6...9 Seconds? At this rate it'll be a criminal offence putting FIVE tracks on the same single!! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ And the sad part is.....
