Sinister: Rah

[Mr Smiley]

Hello,

    So yeah, I went to America. Not my choice of destination, I'll confess. There
are lots of things I don't like. For instance, why doesn't anyone drive a Fiat?
It's absurd watching people trying to reverse park a pick up truck the size of a
house, when I think how easy it would be for my Fiat Uno. It's not green, by the
way. It's blue. And it's a proper boxy car. I mean, it's about 15 years old, and
it looks like the designer realised one morning that he'd forgotten to design that
car he was supposed to, so he just handed a shoebox in to the important people,
with some windows drawn on with black felt tip pen.
    Anyway, I digress. Oh yeah, Americans have portions of food in a far far far
to big kind of style. I mean honestly, over here in the third world I have to eat
soil. Or perhaps not.
    And I didn't find an Internet cafe, so I couldn't email anyone for a week.
Which was crap.
    And my mother kept doctoring her accent when talking to Americans.

    Anyway, enough of this.

    Um, I know it happened a very long time ago, I just haven't gotten round to
posting about it, but I'd like to talk about the Sheffield Sinister picnic. I feel
I should, having a hand in it's (dis)organisation.
    So, yeah, I met some nice people and I had a generally nice time, bar the
encounter with the nasty old man in the toilets who was dancing with Madam Palm
and her 5 beautiful daughters.
    The thing is, I don't like the way we split up into two groups. I realised
this at the time, but I was too shy to jump up and start talking to people. So,
there were loads of people there that I never even found out the names of. And
that's crap. So, if you're one of those people, I'm sorry, and if there's ever
another picnic anywhere around here I promise to not drive there and therefore get
pissed enough to talk to people.

    That's more or less it, you're all beautiful.

Mike
