Sinister: I cuffed my car

>>Is the NME really qualified to make such diagnosis as calling us a "sick
posse of f**ked in the head psycho-fans"?<<

Evidently some psycho-fans are more lucky then others..

>>I Love My Car
You go through 160,000 miles with a car, you love it, you care for it, you
lovingly call it Hubris because never before has a car had a brighter shine
or a engine that purred as sweetly..... Then on a hot sultry day in South
Carolina it decides it doesn't love you anymore. <<

Aren't cars great?  I have had a few days of fun packed advanture with my
car myself, which involved:

1) Parking it in a car park at night, went to the pub and got back finding
out that the car park was locked, and thus had to wait an hour and a half
for a taxi (which, is a long time as we all know)

2) Promised by a friend to give me a lift at 9:30am the next day to get the
car back, woke up and friend never arrived, who phoned me at um 12:30 saying
sorry he had a hangover.

3) Eventually got back to the car at 3.

4) On the way back home a woman tried to take me off the road with a Michael
Schumacher type manoeuvre, and almost killed me.

5) On the same journey back home, one of the tyres got punctured.

6) On the way to the pit stop I exceeded the 75mph limit and got a 10
seconds stop-go penalty.

ok I made number 6 up, but BLUDDY HELL.  I thought I loved my car but I
might start loving big 18 wheeler trucks instead.  Actually I won't cos
that's 14 more wheels to get a puncture on.

>>But what's not interesting about Jonathan and David? Its almost a love
story (which I find odd, since it is in the BIBLE after all). I think
knowing the story makes the lyrics for the song more interesting. BTW, is
that Stevie on the cover with the hair, and is it the same boy (Stevie) from
the Albanian Steel Beds/Arab Strap poster?<<

The boy on the cover with the hair is (it says inside the booklet thing)
Bobby Kildea (Belfast Bob).  I must confess that I thought he on that cover
was a girl for a long while.  Oops, and also when I was in Edinburgh I was
very drunk walking down the street one night, and found a post-it note
saying "I *heart* monkey jism" stuck to a lamp post so I ripped it off and
stuck it to that guys chin on a Jonathan David poster on the wall, I don't
know why I did it, but it seemed funny at the time.

Has anyone compiled a list of who's who on B&S CD covers yet?  I only know
about the Jonathan David one, and the guy on the boy with the arab strap is
Chris Geddes innit?

>>....and isobel said that she was a bit scared of them, especially the ones
who send her their favourite childhood cuddly toys in the post. she then
elucidated: <passable chirpy scottish accent> "i wouldn't mind, but ...
well, some of them haven't been washed for years, and they're really
*smelly*"</chirpy scottish accent>.<<

I know exactly how she feels, the Red Bull Dozers regularly receive presents
from fans, and one female fan sent in a head scarf, I don't know what was on
it but it was really *smelly*.  Maybe Belfast Bob would like to have that
scarf.

I've also been meaning to make T-Shirts for ages, but I can't afford any
T-shirt transfers and my printer run out of ink... I was going to make one
that says "CoRn" on it (with a backwards R) and a picture of a corn on a cob
at the background.

Not very ironic, although I saw a T-shirt the other day in the shop that
said "ladies man" on it, now we're talking.

P.S.: I was really bored and looked on the Internet for the etymology of the
word "fuck" and found the following page
http://www.wordorigins.org/wordorf.htm#fuck which may be an interesting read
if you are also a bored unemployed sweet heart like me.
