Sinister: Jimmy Saville once winked at me in a restaurant

[Jennifer Knutsson]

Hello sinister

Many many things to say... But if I went into them all I might get asked
to leave the list as most of them involve calling James Thorniley names
that aren't nice, so I will simply say this: (NB: skip this bit if you
hate it when members of the list who know each other off-list start
being too ---) 

James was really drunk last night. we were talking about the glasgow gig
and how excited we were about it. he said I would get to meet lots of
list celebrities. I said "ooh do you think I will get to meet Honey?!"
I like to think that it was because of the loud cheesy music playing in
the club that we were in at the time (Toffs in York, for those of you
that are interested in these things), but more likely due to the 4 pints
and the bottle of pineapple VK that he had consumed (he does get drunk
fairly easily, it has to be said), james misheard me.
Now, no offense to the lovely Mr Chu, whose posts often make me giggle
at my computer, but 
	*I WOULD NEVER SAY THAT!!* 
I am still quite new around these parts and so far have been keeping a
fairly low profile, and for Mr Thorniley to be spreading these dare I
say malicious rumours about me just isn't fair. Not that there is
anything wrong with being horny, or even shouting about it really loud
in some goddawful nightclub full of the university rugby team and all
the town's resident meat-heads (please note that I am not saying that
the rugby team are all meat-heads, I leave you to draw your own
conclusions on that one), but its just not me! So there.
Ok, rant over.

In other news, we rang up today and booked our tickets for the Glasgow
gig... Its all very exciting for me as this will be my first ever B&S
concert, and indeed my first ever Sinister meet-up that doesn't just
involve people that I have already met through York Sinister Massive
(TM). Who really are very nice people.

Which reminds me, for those of you that tuned in to see Sam Walton's
appearance on 15-to-1, did you notice how extraordinarily short the two
ladies on the right hand side of him were? He is quite tall anyway but
they were incredible(ly small).

Hmm, I'm digressing again. I was determined to make this post better
than my previous efforts, but to no avail. So I may as well just plough
on with the silly irrelevant stuff instead. No more mentions of people
that I have actually met.

For example, when Lucy (whom I have never met) said 
<<  Whenever Stine says "have a toadie day" I always think of Toadie in
Neighbours. This isn't particularly pleasant. If you don't know what I'm
on about, there is a picture of him here: http://www.neighbours.com/
(he's the one with the beard) But I'm sure Stine doesn't mean to inflict
this pain on me :)   >>
I was surprised as I thought everyone loved Toadie, formerly a loveable
rogue and now a 
gen-U-ine nice guy lawyer who still looks after his friend Sarah's dog
even though Sarah went away on holiday to London about 5 years ago and
shows no signs of returning.

Today has been a really nice day, weather-wise, and indeed fun-wise, and
the prospect of tonights indie quiz just makes it even better. Call me
keen, I don't care!! (Call me horny, I get cross!) 
A friend from home made me a mix tape that I got at the weekend and
since then I have been enjoying mull historical society and the new
white stripes single, as well as remembering how great the delgadoes
are.

Sorry, my post hasn't included any touching tales of triumph over
diversity, or even any good puns... I've just kind of babbled a bit and
tried to stop Ken Chu being scared of me.

Hmph.

When I was in Glasgow a few weeks ago visiting an old friend (and
walking past kelvingrove park several times, completely oblivious to the
interview taking place there at the time) I overheard two men chatting
as they walked down the street. One said to the other "it really is the
holy grail of radio journalism" which has really stuck with me ever
since. I'm not really sure what it means, but perhaps writing a coherent
post could be my Sinister holy grail. 

Enough.

Take care,
Jen
