Sinister: Swearing, it's not big and it's not clever

Oh god.....

Does anyone else get their mails bounced back to them from one particular
listee, telling them the e-mail contained "potentially offensive content" or
something? 

and Mr Smiley said:

Every time I post to Sinister I get a message back from a
machine saying that my they haven't received my post because of potentially
offensive contents

It's me isn't it?  Does it say "gloscat.ac.uk" in it?  I bet it does.  Rest
assured I do get all of your e-mails (and read every one of them), but
apparently there is a log kept of mails sent to me (and everyone else in the
college) with rude words in, although what i can do about people sending
sweary e-mails i don't know...

Anyway VAST apols to you all if you're getting these and I'm being made
redundant in nine weeks time (this is a *good* thing, by the way) so it'll
stop after that :)

Keeping on the swearing theme, if you look at the MTV chat transcript, Mick
mentions a documentary he'd been watching, but it is written as do***entary,
a similar thing happens with scunthorpe...

On the "not releasing singles off albums" theme, we seem to have pretty much
drawn a blank, although as Kevan Cooke pointed out to me, "the state that i
am in" was on both single and album.  Good work, pedantic fellow :)  I only
mentioned it as it seems to have become almost an article of faith with the
band, not to be questioned, yet I can't quite work out why they would stick
to it so religiously, especially as they seem to have moved away from four
song eps towards three trackers for chart eligibility purposes.  I don't
have like a serious problem with it, I'm just curious.

And those of you who mentioned Led Zep, they don't count cos they didn't
release singles *at all* and I don't really think percy and co. are a big
influence on the band somehow :)

*steve imagines struan, stevie and chris talking about red snappers

<shudder>

well, i think i'll leave you with that thought :)
