Sinister: Warning: More Bowlie bits and bobbins

[Kevan Cooke]

Hello folks,

The hastily cobbled together Sinister team were magnificent, with
Alistair Cook MS1996 almost scoring a hat-trick in the semi-final
against ac acoustics.  He followed this up by crippling Mark
Casarotto during a kickabout on the beach on Sunday.

Big Tam (also known as "the comedy goalkeeper") did indeed look
pretty much incapable of saving anything, which is probably why
he was replaced for the penalties by one of the other members
of the team.  Funny how Camera Obscura sportingly drafted in a
selection of new and more capable players for the final though.
I think there's a word for that.

The Sinister team had the biggest following out of all the
footie teams, wheras Camera Obscura could only muster up two or
three supporters (one of these had strangely familiar red hair -
shame on you Struan!)

Trousers' exploits on the field seem to have been pretty well
documented, and Stay Lucky Rory put in a sterling performance
before failing to stay lucky.

Meanwhile Steady Mike was getting decidedly unsteady in the one
place where Sinister Rooled throughout, namely the bar.  Well done
to the very convincing Tim Hopkins impersonator for draining the
entire site of beer.  A feat that even the real Tim Hopkins would
have struggled with.

Thanks to Erin Lewis, and also Joss and Leagues, for convincing me
to go and see the Flaming Lips.  They were absolutely brilliant.
Their gong and handpuppet antics were one of the highlights of the
weekend.

Other top moments were...

The charm of the security guards:
"You may be taking the piss out of us something chronic, but we have
the power to evict you from the site."  And the classic "Treat us
nice love and you won't get any trouble."

Wycombe 2 Man City 1:
"Where's Tag?"
"He's avoiding you."

Trousers splitting a contact lens and having to spend Sunday watching
bands in near darkness whilst wearing prescription sunglasses.

Various people doodling pictures of Steve Lamacq, including Steve
Lamacq, and Fluffy Sarah doodling pictures of everyone.

Lazy Line Painter Jane, at the end of which I discovered tears running
down my face.

But most of all (as always) meeting loads of Sinister people, and can
I just remind Carsmile Steve that he hasn't told us which church in
Cheltenham we should all turn up at next Saturday.  Best of luck mate.

Thanks for tolerating another Bowlie post,

Kevan
The Fat Slug
