Sinister: I love stretched deadlines

/me watches Laura Llew's crush votes go sky high.  Oh dear, LLl, didn't
you know that half the male population of London (Sinisterines, at least)
have serious crusheroonies on that girl?  Sally and I think she bears
remarkable resemblance to 'British Television's Perkiest Presenter',
Anthea Turner http://www.anthusiast.freeserve.co.uk/ but it doesn't seem
to make any difference.  The crusheroonies have struck and there's nothing
to be done.  LLl, do you look like Anthea Turner?  I understand that if
you do, this has no bearing on your character.  AS bass girl does have a
lovely smile though (as does Anthea, of course), as we witnessed at Pow to
the People on Saturday afternoon.  Also playing were The Tyde, who bear
remarkable resemblance to 'Shit Dad Rockers', Ocean Colour Scene
http://www.homestead.com/thewastedyouth/hate.html and a whole load of
bands I was too busy drinking alkyhol and scoffing pot noodles to watch. 
Alkyhol and noodles... gosh, this weekend bore remarkable resemblance to
ATP, 'Where Our Chalet ROCKED' (no url for this one, but it is true
nonetheless) especially as I met Robin for the first time at ATP and
Peetsketchsteve for the first time on Saturday.  Wahey!  This paragraph is
long enough.  Time to hit the return key...

Robin's child/old man conversation reminded me of this:  I was a terrible
eavesdropper on Saturday.  I went downstairs to relieve myself of the
Stella that had somehow managed to collect in my stomach (how on earth did
it get there?!) and was happily enthroned when I heard the following
conversation emanating from the next cubicle:

Girl One:  I'm really not sure this is a good idea...
Girl Two:  But I want to prove to you that I can!
Girl One:  Listen, I'm ten years older than you, I don't think we
should...
Girl Two:  But I can act ten years older, just let me show you!
*****ten seconds of silence*****
Girl Two:  This really isn't a good idea...
Girl One:  But I want to...
*****further ten seconds of silence*****
&c.

Well, as you can imagine, I got out of there sharpish, wanting to give the
naughty pair some space and to save my blushes, obviously.  Needless to
say, the gentlemen I related this tale to upon my return to the bar were
extremely interested, for purely anthropological reasons, of course.

Yay, first picnic of the season!  Steve, I think the first one is at
Primrose Hill, so we can justify having the one in June for Martin's
buffday in Greenwich.  Is that right?  Anyone?  Anyone? D-O-O Economics
&c.  I'm getting all excited already, even though it's not for another two
and a bit weeks.  Mmm, bouze.  I've been doing it a bit much lately and I
thought of giving up for a while (now, that's a sign of ageing if ever I
saw one) but I can't find a whole month without any picnics or parties
going on so I'll just have to keep getting drunk.  What a shame.  Speaking
of incorrigible drunks, I hear Scotland may be quite well represented at
the picnic.  York people, why don't you come too instead of having your
own picnic.  If people can come from Glasgow and Greece, can't you?  Go
on...

Oh, I've just remembered another drunken tale of woe.  At Sally's Best
Sinister Party for Months, I displayed my unique (at least amongst the
people I know) ability to stick out my tummy and make myself look
pregnant.  It's a difficult thing to pull off, as you mustn't arch your
back in the process - that's the biggest giveaway to fake pregnancies,
don't you think?  Anyway, I think everyone was suitably impressed, so I
then confessed that sometimes, when the train is particularly sardinish, I
stick my tummy out to make myself look pregnant and wait for somebody to
offer me their seat.  Am I cruel, evil and bad?  I don't let old folks or
real pregnant women stand up for me though.  That would just be too cruel,
evil and bad.

Juicy Lucy
