Sinister: Miners refuse to work after death

Hello funsters,
The subject comes from an amusing list of newspaper headlines I just
recieved.

My last post may have seemed a bit sarcastic, but it honestly wasn't.

There are just a few points:

James Gilmer looked guilty and said:
>all those wonders of english
>culture...and we give you Jerry Springer. Sorry about that, us poor
>colonials have yet to find culture.

Don't knock Jerry Springer. Jerry Springer is one of the best things on
TV. You just have to get into the mood for it, just whistle and whoop
and clap lots, it's great fun. It takes away you're worries. If I ever
go to america I will go and see Jerry. Or maybe Ricki, she's good too.

THAT NAUGHTY WORD
Our dear head, Mr. Midworth, has come up with a plan to combat the
immaturity and lack of effort in our year. There will be four groups of
students:

Group 1.
	These people will be given extra help with organisation, but they do
need to worry much.
Group 2.
	Will have their performance monitored and risk being put in group 3 if
they do not improve.
Group 3.
	Will have to report to teachers daily and will have to do all homework
in school if they do not do it on time at home. These people are the
evil ones.
Group 4.
	Girls. Who are perfect, obviously.

It would be bad enough, but to rub salt into the wound, I'VE BEEN
CLASSIFIED AS A GIRL. I feel like Kryten did, except I don't get to go
in the showers with them.

LETS ALL MEET UP IN THE YEAR 2000

I love Jason's idea of millenium meet-ups, I might be able to leave the
house for that excuse. We can all agree to get as many hifis as possible
and play the same song at exactly the same time everywhere. I vote for
MRS. And the time should be midnight. Of course, midnight is different
anywhere, so it might not work perfectly.

I remember when I first heard Jarvis Cocker sing
"Won't it be strange when we're all fully grown..."
I thought "hmm. only 15. It's not really that fully grown". A lot's
happened though. Isn't it weird how things happen and stuff changes.
Lots has changed, I couldn't have predicted it. Maybe it's not really
wierd. <sigh> When I first heard *that* song everything was going to be
perfect. Depressing rant: Now everything's going to be crap for me, I
worked it out. We've had careers teachers round and all. "What do you
want to be?". Oh f***, I think, because I don't want a job. I've taken
to saying "Bus driver".

A COMMENT ON SOCIETY
Dave told us all about those strange people who fit in. I don't take
pride in ever being nasty to the sort of people that wear designer
clothes and listen to top 40 music. They don't know any better, right?
Anyway, they're generally pretty friendly and fun, so no problem. Not
everyone thinks they're better than you just because of what they wear.

What does piss me off is the other band of hipsters who will get
actively pissed off with you if you wear M&S trousers. It's these sort
of people who take the piss out of B&S. The reason being they're scared
of anything that's different. You might understand I'm talking along the
lines of the grunger punk rock bitches here (there's a lot round here).
They think of themselves as so hard and scary but there's nothing more
scary to them than Stu M in a cardy. HA

Can I just say that I agree with Marcus's comments too, and I think
capitalism works for some (very few) things, but for music it's the
worst possible way of sharing it out.

DRINK WHAT *YOU* WANT TO DRINK, is my final comment on that line, thanks
pete.

I'll just end this quickly by saying what a shame it is that all our
list crush votes don't count for Erica's election.
