Dear all Right 15 minutes start here: So how are you all today this fine bank holiday (here anyway). With the clocks changing etc I find myself going to bed early and waking up early which is very disconcerting. Right so I had a delightful 2 days ish in Dublin- Every time I go there I realise that I hate it even more. There are far too many people there and you could be in any city in Europe which is a bit annoying- I remember the days of potholes and poor people. There is none of that there anymore- just rich bourgeois happy enough to walk down the street with their bags from all the posh shops. The only thing that hasn’t really changed is the itinerant kids singing their hearts out to oasis and a delightful addition to the buskers is the Hari Krishna’s singing their eponymous song. The only refuge from this barrage of noise and unhappy rich people is the delights of an ould mans pub called Keogh’s which while in the middle of the city has the impression of being in the middle of the country. It is spread over 3 floors which haven’t been decorated in years. The bar stools are still inhabited by the same ould fella’s who have probably been there for the last 60 years. I almost felt bad about impeding in their place of drinking but we a)weren’t in the mood for a trendy bar on a Saturday afternoon and b) we really needed a pint to try and forget the horrors of Dublin. I was so glad to go on the DART back down to Bray where there is a mile long promenade with amusements on one side and the sea on the other which when done responsibly holds a rather good swim. I literally haven’t walked there ages and I was surprised to see the beach has grown up to the wall where before breakers would come over in stormy weather- We climbed Bray Head-A hill with a cross at the top with really nice views over the coast back up to Dublin- EEGADS how glad I was to be back in the car away from that place and get back to the city of cork where everybody knows my name and they are always glad I came. Right content time- Am I possibly the only person on earth who hasn’t heard the new song yet (I have got marx and engels). Is it good ? Bad ? or just pure ugly? . Hmm can I join the under 20 brigade please? I will bring the beer. Ohhh and another thing- I know there was all this talk about Indie/alt soccer teams- How about sinister 11- any suggestions? Honey no doubt and Mr Chu Would feature in the main positions (maybe water girl and slop bucket boy) Anywho I go on and I am off “celebrate” my 19 year old friend getting engaged (it is so easy to sound pleased on phone when really you aren’t) at the lovely jazz festival Remember that baboons don’t laugh at each others arses *****staralful****** "Are you calling Mr Simpson a liar?"-----" Not exactly -but we do have this fottage of him with his pants on fire" _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com/intl.asp +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister@missprint.org.
