Oh dear. Carsmile Steve screamed “PS Oi! Alder! once a week? where are yer??” Ahem. I believe I said I was going to keep on posting to Sinister once a week (no more, I wouldn’t want you getting sick of me, right?) So, in the spirit of recent posts, I am going to do a whole host of replying. Mark said “Excitedly, I scrutinised the lamp, and found SEVEN tiny spiders attached to it! A couple of them got a bit frisky, and started abseiling like the cutest little marines, so I moved them into a shady corner to start their spidery lives.” Last year, I found a nest of baby arachnids in the corner of my room. I put an end to their spidery lives by hovering them up. Mwah ha ha! Then, Linda said “On another tack, I was watching a programme on Orlando, by Virginia Woolf, recently, and they showed the film clip where Orlando likens his/her lover to a "pineapple, a fox in the snow." Any of you literary people know if this is the first conscious grouping of those words, and is that where the song title comes from, and therefore Stuart reads poncy girl's books?” The Reference Fox sez: “In her book "Orlando", the eponymous hero(ine) refers to his Russian Princess lover as being "like a fox in the snow" twice... Props go to Mark for spotting this! The Reference Fox enjoyed it especially.” I have a funny feeling ‘Mark’ is our very own Casarotto. For more foxy references, see http://www.fineran.demon.co.uk/basrefs/ Now Adam: “Does anyone know what Stuart and Co. are going to do about the songs that feature Isobel on main vocals?” Sarah seems to have stepped right into Isobel’s shoes for the vocals. She did them very nicely at the last QMU gig and her arse isn’t as big as Bel’s either. They had a guest cellist that night, too – Rosie, I think – but I don’t know anything about her, whether it was a one-night fling or if it’s a long term relationship. Or if she’s snogging any of the band. Stevie T did some nice ink polaroids in hour of Sinister’s buffday, so I thought I’d add one of my own. ***** This is me in an office in West London. It’s my first time in Sinister Chat. If you look very carefully at the computer screen, you’ll see Ladylike has written ‘Honey, when I first joined Sinister, I thought you were a girl’ and honeypie has replied ‘I am’ ***** Juicy Lucy ps.
