Sinister: eternal nothingness is ok as long as you are dressed for it

[Jonathan Skinner]

Dear All
i hope this finds everyone in good health , i am not , my consumption
growing ever worse and the gout has kicked in again and my leprosy has lost
me my other foot , also i can't find that last deleted smith's record  ,
will the pain never end
So how is everyone today? i am actully quite well and i love winter even
though winter here generally contains rain some sun then more rain as the
dirtiest of dirty vicars will agree with , it literally hasn't stopped
pissing with rain for the last 8 days here which is bloody annoying but it
added some atmosphere around the city for the jazz festival
 i don't why i had played the jazz festival up in my mind so much  i was
expecting small smokey venues with old fellas playing - i only found one of
those and it was only ok .the other night we went to a hotel with 5
different rooms some good some great and some hideous. There was enough
swing music though to keep us all dancng to the wee small hours and somehow
with thinking ahead we managed to get a taxi straight away by ordering one .
not just a hat rack
what was good however was the various friends of  friends that we met that
were down from various parts of the country and we had a laugh
Beer festival was good on the same weekend   , i love the fact that the city
allow all venues to have late opening for the sake of this festival. But i
read in the paper( a broadsheet so it HAS to be true) that guinness are
thinking of moving the cork jazz festival to dublin - so does that mean that
we will become jackeens for that weekend? does it mean that cork will become
dublin and vice versa? am i rambling ? i think so......

The QANDA section on the website has let us see the real stuart murdoch - i
read with great interest mr murdoch's and mr geddes view on the whole iraqi
(or shall we say iraqui) situation but i was slightly disturbed to hear that
stevie wears BEN SHERMAN shirts. Here we call trendy people Ben Shermans cos
all look so clean and stuff but maybe it is different north of the border
and east of the island
However i must say i sort of like this proactive approach to things even
though i hope this glasnost will not wreck their lives for some mad reason.
I hope ken enjoyed the london clues and i hope they were worth it

So my brother is being conferred today even though it isn't really *That*
important ( ie he still has to get his degree) we are all doing the whole
family thing to this nice restaurent and stuff which should be nice

I am have itchy feet and an itchy arse and want to get away somewhere- i am
looking into oslo at the moment cos it looks nice and someone i know has
just come back from there and said it was nice cool and crisp- anywhere
scandanavian should do as i really want to see the northern lights-i just
hope it isn't cloudy if ever i do get up that end of the continent.

i suppose i should do some shout outs but i have never actully met any of
you so i will just say hello to the irish sinister massive (if you do infact
exist ) and the wider sinister massive ( if you actully do exist or maybe it
is my other personallities that have been writing all these emails to myself
for the last 3.5 years)

plague and pestillence love and lollipops
