Sinister: boring billionth post, nothing special...

[Tim Hopkins]

Hello campers.

I've been waiting ages for an important message. I've been holding my breath 
for so long that one lung has burst. I need the other lung to be able to 
smoke my cigs. So perhaps I'll amuse myself by boring you for a bit.

Lovely to see so many graduates from the Sinister Nursery of Correction and 
Hard Knocks feeling like saying hello. Hello!

I tell you what...let's do the show right here!

Mr John JJ John J wrote all the way from Seahouses:

Well, I'm very glad that there are others on the list whose drunken 
impostors are uglier than they are. Phew.

They were good, weren't they? They are the Foxgloves, who are Steven 
Trousers of this fair Parish, playing with Gary Brooker, who used to be the 
lead singer in Procol Harum, and who is now living the life of Riley 
collecting royalties following Mercury Rev's Procol cover versions. They 
(the Foxgloves)were covering the remarkably brilliant 'Travelogue' by 
Glo-Worm. Mmmm.

>Respect goes to the Duke.

Doesn't it, though, always?

>Is there anyone of you in those picture? and who is who?

There is a picture of someone pretending to be me. He's the fellow who used 
to go round pretending to be Stanley Kubrick, but he can't get away with 
that any more, so he's decided to be me. Most inconvenient.

Pishrogues?! That is the single finest new word I've heard since I 
discovered the word 'cheese'.

You what, Rob?

>Was he even there?

Yeah, he was there drinking with us, him and his lovely daughter. He seemed 
to know loads about the Sinister list, but I knew it was him cos he was on 
about the Incredible String Band.

What? Oh, you mean that...? Oh.

Oh.

I'm glad it wasn't John Peel.

But Deano's cave just gets hairier and hairier.

>Did anyone catch the Looper?

If you did, I think you can get some sort of ointment for it these days.

Mister David Moore Chelmsford UK, who is more fun than John bloomin' Peel 
anyway, said:

Actually, I was there, aged 5, standing in the front row and spitting at 
them, calling them stupid sweaty hippies and telling them to get their 
bleedin' hair cut. At school, I mean, talking to the teachers. Every teacher 
in Devon ever was a hippy. Apart from my Dad.

Talking of sweaty, I went to the toilet a little while ago and there was 
someone in one of the stalls grunting like a stuck buffalo. I was 
entertaining the entertaining thought that his arsehole had been sewn up in 
his sleep by his disgruntled wife, and that he was straining to pop the 
stitches. And then I thought of you lot.  I have no idea why.

Sorry Cliff.

That's probably about enough of that, isn't it?

Cheerio
