Sinister: Spiders, Delgados and words. Oh my!

[Robert Brennan]

Hello.  I must say you're all looking well.

Lucy said:

"Albino spiders!  Hens' teeth!  I brushed them onto
the floor and tried to forget they were there because
they gave me the willies."

They give me the willies, the creeps and the shits all
at once.  Faced with two(!) albino spiders I probably
would have ran out of the room screaming choice
colloquialisms.  Then gone back in and burned the bed.
 And the house just to make sure.

Gordon whispered over the crowd:
"Big words made easy 
Most big words are wee words strung together with
choice letters missing and no spaces in-between. The
Germans seem to specialise in this area."

I once quizzed a German flatmate about the finer
points of her language.  The above seems to be correct
- even to the extent of just making up portmanteau
words as and when required.  Fantastic!  If only we
could be that creative in English.  The Sinisterlist
would be a verbalfest of neuvauxlanguage.

The Delgados are playing Portsmouth Wedgewood Rooms on
October 12 and I'm going to be there.  G!R!A!T!E!

Have fun

Robster
