Sinister: Two lost messages

[Honey]

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

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.

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.....
You do my world the world of good
