Sinister: Woah, neddy!

[Hewitt, Stephen]

Ello babies

Blimey is it that time of year again?  The cheltenham festival is upon us
once a year, and unlike all those unsavoury music/book/theatre festivals
this one gives you a chance to win POTS OF MONEY as it is a festival of
HORSE RACING.  Also it gives you a chance to lose pots of money, but there
you go...

In previous years I have (following andrew tracey's lead
http://www.missprint.org/sinister/mhonarc/199903/msg00281.html) picked
horses with appropriate sinister-related names and recommended them to the
list, generally to NO USE at all.  Then yesterday I picked FOUR WINNERS and
a second in the first five races, so I have decided not to recommend any
horses this year as this was clearly putting some sort of voodoo on me
betting (NB I was doing a placepot so as my pick in the sixth race was a
real actual three-legged donkey picking the first four winners effectively
came to nought).

And if it's cheltenham, then it must be almost time to book GLASTO tickets.
We have had sini-meetups at the last two festivals (well last year was a
meeting of the tribes really as it featured sinis, bowlies, ilx0rs, and
various random others), and look there's even a little sub-list to join and
everything:

And if it's almost time to book glasto tickets then it must be almost almost
picnic season, yay!!

Also, blimey, kieran used paragraphs ;)

Where are my glasgow tickets?  Everyone else seems to have theirs and I
booked mine on the first day and everything...

Like robin I am also intending to get over to embra at some point in my trip
up north, but still working out details.

Last night I went to see THE CHALETS who are GREBT and RAWK and everything.
Did I dream someone asking if they have an album out and if not, was it
here, or in another place?  THE CHALETS, of course, feature an
ex-sinisterine (Ms Paula Cullen BOOZE EXPLOSION), but this isn't the sole
reason for their smashingness, and I think I agree with DV about them
becoming rockier, but this not being a bad thing.

Also also blimey! Old skool lurkers ahoy, eg, KADO, PEET, MAY, MIKKELSEN,
NOH etc etc

See you soon kids
