Hello Sinisters Happy birthday for Saturday! If there would be a cake and candles to blow out, I wonder what a Sinister wish might be? Maybe 'I wish I could say the same for you', or 'I wish that you were here with me to pass the dull weekend', or 'I wish I had two paths I could follow', or, if you happen to know someone going off to war, then 'I wish you well but don't be sore if I cheer the other team'? For me, it would have to be 'You can wish because I'm not here to fool around', because I won't be fooling around with you all up Primrose Hill, worse luck. I'll be in Spain, on a yacht; which is pretty much the least fitting thing I could possibly be doing on the band's tenth birthday. I feel quite sorry about it. (Then again I don't because it's HOLIDAYING ON A YACHT and I can't wait.) The other thing I'm sorry (and confessing) about is buying an unofficial 'The Life Pursuit' t-shirt off eBay. I couldn't help myself. Those official ones are super, but they're awfully short for a 29 year-old midriff that's less 'washboard', more 'cheeseboard'. This one is the answer to my fashion blues. Florence emailed to tell you about more Sinister babies. I haven't any; Sinister or otherwise, but I am thrilled to be Godmother (although this title is also unofficial - I am popularly known as the 'GodlessMother' - what would Stuart say?!) to Joe and Flo's eldest, Kitty. I visited recently and found her to be marvellous company - definitely a Sinister in the making, although she's more of an Amy Winehouse fan for now. So yep, like many others, I rarely post but always read. I think I signed up back in about '98-'99, when there was no Facebook or YouTube or Sky TV to distract me. Back then I was at Uni; listening to Mark and Lard and getting tiddled on half a cider. CAN IT REALLY BE TEN YEARS?! Now I listen to BBC7 and struggle to get tiddled on just one more box of cheap wine. You've come a long way, baby. Have a wonderful picnic if you're going to one - do you think there could be photies, please? Cos that would be GRATE. Bye for now. Love, Lorraine xx _________________________________________________________________ The next generation of Hotmail is here! http://www.newhotmail.co.uk +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister@missprint.org.
