Sinister: 'When Bilbo opened his eyes, he wondered if he had;

for it was just as dark as with them shut.'


"hi fans" shouts me!!!!

so did ya miss me?
I HATE MY COMPOOTER
it died on me (again) a few weeks ago and i've finally got it working again 
and guess what?
500 bloody e-mails waiting in my inbox so i've dredged through them all, not 
all sinister ones mind you, the sigur ros list talk as much as you do, 
apparrently the new metallica album will be heavily influenced by sigur ros!

so this mail will be a list of disjointed reactions to what's cought my eye 
on sinister over the last x weeks:

call me unimaginative but 'eh?', how's that work then?

so are we all going to glasgie to roam round in a big scary sinister herd 
(what is the collective noun for us then?, a picnic of sinisterians) untill 
we fing the film crew and force them into letting us be in the vid?


ok, so the B&S tribute band thing i thought of, well we've got 2 stuart 
murdochs and a stuard david so i think we'll put that plan on hold for a 
while, ok?


i've only ever bought one big issue and that was from a mad stots bokie who 
really sold it to me, jumping around and reading bits to me until i bought 
one , he was hilarious. i know they're homeless and dont have much to smile 
about but they could put some life into their sales pitch, youknowarramean?


so next weekend is the WOW festival here on tyneside, big free festival held 
on the north bank of the tyne over 3 days every spring and is usually quite 
good, good excuse to wander around in the sun for a long weekend getting 
absolutely smashed and watching bands from all over the world.  they usually 
have a big name band to close it all with; '99 was the wailers (minus bob 
obviously), last year it was asian dub foundation (my parents could hear the 
bass 4 miles away at my house), but this year we have, wait for it, the 
levellers (yeah, not).    oh well , still getting pissed up though ,  and 
they have fireworks.
last year we missed the last ferry home but luckily my mate phil's dad is 
the tyne pilot so we got a lift over the water on his boat, yay!


'can u dig it' was by the mock turtles and not pop will...

>How come no one talks about John Hughes on this list any more?  He's still
>subscribed isn't he?

is he actually on this list or am i just being gullible?
are there actually any famous people on this list then?, out of 1400 there 
must be one or two vaguely heard of people here.


and someone mentioned calling stuart 'struan' (or rather *not* calling 
stuart 'struan') so i just have to ask, why *do* we call him struan, was 
this something from before i joined?



i know this post has turned out a bit long but i've had withdrawal symptoms, 
but one thing before i go, some-one (carnt remember who) said this:

>bonus comment: I had heard the expression "spirit ditch" in a sparklehorse
>song and thought it was one of their genius lyrical inventions (in fact,
>they are using it twice on their last record), until Jules enlightened me
>about the fact that it's a normal english expression. Wow, what a language!
>I think I'm in love. I should learn it sometime....

so what actually is a spirit ditch, i've never heard of one either


well thet's all from me
see you all @ the gigs (well just the scarbrough one)
pez*
