Sinister: hymn to a village

[andrew dean]

busy at work and got behind reading the digests. have
just caught up after reading about 10 a day for the
last 3 days so...

village idea was nice at first but have none of you
people been watching shipwrecked? there they took 16
people and stranded them on a desert island for 10
weeks and only 7 of them made it through to the end.
it was lord of the flies all over again.

actually, bowlie last year was nice, the way there
were always 20 or so of us in the bar at any given
time and, in fact, the way the whole holiday camp was
full of popkids who we spent ages studiously ignoring.
but, as people have pointed out, a village full of
record shops and brothels isn't going to work.

btw, wouldn't it be a better idea to have two netball
teams? that way they have someone to play against 8)

oh, the only big b&s related news of the last month
was stu d leaving to spend more time with his family.
yeah mr david, i can see why you'd need to quit the
band, those long, gruelling tours and hectic
promotional duties for the seeming constant release
schedule are bound to eat into your time...

(yes, i'm another one still bristling at being
insulted by stu d in the chatroom. i was just about to
offer to tape him the colombo theme tune (he could
only get hold of an american video of the show, my
video plays ntsc tapes and if all he wanted was the
audio then i could save him having to get the tape
expensively converted to PAL) when he called me a rich
bastard and told me to fuck off. i should've kicked
him. humpf - he's the one with a mezzanine in his
flat!) still, i'll miss his cumudgenly input into b&s.
and i enjoyed the book too, apart from the end)

does the village have an idiot yet?
