Sinister: not gold, not silver...

[Caitlin Pigtails]

Ken said something in the chatroom: what sort of anniversary is a fifth 
anniversary?  I mean, we know a 50th anniversary is a golden jubilee 
and a 25th anniversary is a silver jubilee.  So what's a fifth 
anniversary?

The answer, it appears (according to Google, at least), is: a fifth 
anniversary is a Wood Jubilee.  So, if you want to send Honey a present 
to mark Sinister's fifth birthday, you know what you have to do.  You 
have to Get Wood.  Ahem.

Incidentally, I've probably mentioned it before, but this is one of my 
favourite posts of the last five years.  Probably because it's about 
the place where I walk to work every day.

it's quite funny too.

Earlier today, I was out shopping with Idleberry in preparation for the 
Camera Obscura gig tomorrow (is anyone going?  I hope so).  We were in 
Topshop admiring their corduroys, when a shop-worker brushed passed, 
stopped, and pointed at Idles' "Study At Stow" tshirt.  "Belle and 
Sebastian!" he said, and started talking to us about music for five 
minutes.  He ended up offering to make Idles a Smiths mixtape, I think, 
but only if she goes back to Topshop in the three days left before he 
runs away to become a monk, or something.  It was all a bit bizarre 
really.

This definitely didn't take fifteen minutes.  I am contrite.
