Sinister: Err, (tentatively at first, gradually warming) hello?

[David Howie]

Hello,
        Yet another random person rears their ugly head on the sinister
list.  Popping their head over the top of the trenches only to be hit by a
flurry of insults and abuse.  Not really, of course.  I've been watching,
diligently, noticing how nice all of you are.  I've weathered to big 'art
debate', the winter of 'homosexual diatribic postings', the 'sinister
village' affair.  (Better termed, Village-gate).  I've actually been sitting
watching fer ages, oblivious to the fact that I was out of the nursery.
Should I have got an e-mail of notification?  Did I get an e-mail of
notification?  Mebbes aye, mebbes naw.  I believe it is customary to
introduce oneself before entering the salacious soiree that is sinister:

Well, hello I'm David.  I'm young, I'm Scottish.  That is all I'll reveal
right now, no doubt you'll get to know me over the following months (weeks?
Possibly years? Hopefully not, epochs?)...

Do I know anyone on the list?  Well, I know Jenny Hodgson.  Or, rather, I
did know her.  She was a good friend; God knows how we drfited out of
contact.  Lovely girl she was.  Intelligent, funny, terribly twee.  Do I
hear you call wife material?  Teehee  No!.  And I know Katy Dutton (though
she's in the nursery.  You're just a baby, dutton.)  She's, err, perfect,
basically.  Do I hear you call wife material?  Weeeellll....  :)  That's all
the people I know.  Lovely, the both of them.  :)

I suppose I had better incorporate the mandatory B&S content that everyone
so innocently seems to leave out.  Well, "Fold Your Hands Child, You Walk
Like a Peasant"?  I don't know what to say really apart from that I'm a tad
excited?  Well, you could say if I was to detail how excited I am it would
count as this e-mail's compulsory smut content, that everyone seems to so
lasciviously include in each of their posts.  That's all I'm saying.  Apart
from, if I can get a 'role' in the village, can I be a Disco Dancer?  I
don't particularly care for disco dancing; I just like alliteration...
Teehee.

Right, byeeee...

that pesky young Howie cad.
