Sinister: Mind The Gap

Hello Sinister!
It's been a while since I popped my head around the
door here. It's rather like returning to once-familiar
pub after a long absence and seeing a mix of old and
new faces engaged in the usual passion-fuelled
wit-charged banter, except you don't understand all
the words the younger people are using and they've
changed the jukebox.
Despite being more-or-less sober I failed to remark on
the Somerset House gigs in July. Others noted the
well-chosen setlists, the ace performance, the
enormous and enormously expensive 2-pint beakers that
made everyone look like hobbits and Stuart's
increasingly irritating tendency towards end-of-pier
showmanship. I noted the number of people clamouring
to tell their mates that they were much better in
[insert venue/year], the extraordinary poshness of the
setting and the rather tasty (if inauthentic) poutine
in the Lyceum Tavern across the road.
The Tibias were alright too.
So to other news: after fannying around for ages, I
now face the awesome and scary prospect of ACTUALLY
MOVING TO LONDON at the end of October. I mean, I've
had an Oyster card for ages so I might as well. I'm
really looking forward to properly swearing at
tourists on the Tube.
It's gonna be a sunny Autumn.
Robster
