Sinister: 3, 5, 7, 9 seconds of light

[Mark Casarotto]

Fellow matadors,

Massive great tension headache (after 10 days solid coffee, food and bouze,
don't limit yourselves straight away to peaches, bran and a chickpea and
black-eyed bean curry, kids) is preventing me from working at the moment, so
I'm starting my back-in-England sinister letter to you all. Phew! (who is
Ric Flair, then?) I still have three digests to read, but unless I forget
I'll get through them all before pressing send.

Amy, I'm tallish, mousey and what people politely term "thinning on top".
Unless they're Tim Hopkins, in which case "hopeless bald cunt" is more
likely. I am loaded, though, you were right on that one, after making 300%
on my stake at Venice Casino last week. I am rock! Roulette is classy,
though there's something to be said for incomprehensible machines paying out
dozens and dozens of coins even though you can't work out why on earth
you've won. I even arrived home to find a cheque from Bananalotto
(www.bananalotto.co.uk) <http://www.bananalotto.co.uk)> . Anyway, I'm not
going back in a casino ever again, as that's my luck used up. Though if Ooon
is ever stuck for something to do in SW London, I could be tempted to show
her how the experts *really* do it.

Magnetic Fields - another massive sinister posse for the Shepherd's Bush
Empire, then? I'm afraid I have to disagree with my learned friend who
suggested 69 Love Songs was the weediest LP yet - I have studied at the
Michael Jones Night School of Indie (Intermediate level), and apart from a
couple of astonishing slices of naïf-pop like 100,000 Fireflies, Mr
Merritt's oeuvre has got far stronger and more interesting in recent years.
In any case, they were the fuckin' nail at the QEH, so I suggest you all get
off your pampered, over-upholstered indie arses and get your tickets sorted
pronto.

I have The Sims. Naturally, my families are Belle and Sebastian. Isobel has
fallen in love with Beanz (sic). Though they haven't shagged yet. I even got
the patch that takes away the fuzzing when they're nude. It's not at all
like Big Brother. But I didn't realise you could add your own MP3s!
Fantastic stuff! 

I have also just ordered "International Cricket Captain 2000" over the
interweb. Does this make me the saddest sinisterine? Kevin's post (honestly,
it has no connection to being sad) was chuffin' tops, mate - nice to see
some solid scientific reasoning on the list, compared to the subjective,
judgmental waffle we usually put up with :-)

Nik, you're dead right about the News of the World and their culpable
homicide (or whatever our judicial system calls it). Apart from frightening
nazi-esque resonances, the sight of these ignorant, bullying FASCIST scum
baying for blood and abusing their own children's innocence (let's seem them
work out that moral quandary, then) by using them as flagpoles for their own
vicious bigoted agendae. By definition, these sex offenders, irredeemable
though some may be, have done their time, and the law says that they should
be allowed to continue their everyday lives without fear or prejudice.. 

But perhaps I'm being fascistic myself, denying freedom of the press? Nah.

See you kids at whatever picnic wins the battle of the picnics,
BG Mark xxx
