Sinister: I always find this bit the hardest.

[Jonathan Howell]

Yes, the subject line is for me the hardest part of the email to write, if
you don't have a good one then people are likely to ignore your email
entirely, which is a shame as I can't come up with anything better than the
above today.

Jer from New York mentioned that -:lazyline painter jane is one of the
funestest b and s songs to play on bass :- Bass playing is grate,,, I'm just
starting.  I'm on the look out for Belle and Sebastian bass tabs if anyone
can help.  I mailed the tabs service on the website a while back, but to no
avail.  Hurrah for Bass players... as well as Didgereedoo or Calimbas
players, and players of any other instrument...  Hurrah for everyone!

Siniter Spotting:
Right then...  I've been wanderering around the country for the past week,
on my travels I materialised at Afflek's (spelling???) Palace in
Manchester... I decided that it was a lovely place full of shiny things, and
I could easily have spent a lot of time getting lost in there, if only I
hadn't arrived there with only an hour until it closed.  I'm very glad that
my Manchster friends took me there.  I saw a girl standing at the top of the
stairs who looked like she might be a Sinisterian... whe wore grate clothes,
including a tiara... I think I like tiaras.  She noticed me noticing her...
she was very pretty though.  I've decided that I don't look anything that
would stand out as a Sinisterian, does anyone have any tips?   maybe I
should buy some cords... perhaps we should have a badge that we wore to
distinguish us.  I may look for something belle and sebastianish to stick on
my coat.

I also went to Alton Towers- which was fun, mainly because of the people I
went with I think.  It was in celebration of a 21st, and we all weent in a
big group.  I probably woould have enjoyed wherever we'd gone with those
particular people.  Has anyone else been there? While I was there I saw some
obviously fake trees holding up a little railway thing.  These trees were
complete with big smiley faces, I thought it might be fun to chain myself to
them and demand that the railway be removed.  The management could try to
persuade me that they weren't real...  look at the smiley faces... and I
could refuse to believe.  Then I saw their Cadbury's Cream egg machines that
made chicken noises...  These also have potential  "free the chickens, it is
not fair to coop them up like this"... I might write them a letter.  I don't
think I saw any sinisters there.

I don't think I saw any in Southport at 'Chocolat' either as my grandparents
and I were pratcially the only people there, and they only listen to
classical music.

Now that's quite enoughof that from me...  I'm in danger of sounding all
diaryesque.

Cheers and Love.

Jonny.
