Sinister: sometimes we call it January
by ana simic 18 Jan '99

18 Jan '99

It is January and I've got loooooads of exams and it breaks my heart not having the time to go through all the digest. (The number of unopened digests is keeping getting bigger and bigger...). It sounds silly, but I do miss you guys. (Someone wrote something about telling people you miss them when you do...or liking them when you do..or whatever.) So I guess, it makes me a better person that I told you. Whoever else is going through the same hell with the exams, I do wish you all the luck (or should I say, _good nerves_?) *smiles* *Ana* P.S: Steven Duffy played a concert in Vienna yesterday (it was even for free as a part of a birthday party of the local college radio) ...and I wasn't able tó go cos of my shitty work!!!! I reckon, that was my missed chance to see THE man ....My, oh my... ______________________________________________________ +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

hello, i know i never write but oh well i thought i'd change my evil ways. i read the messages for all you who might not believe me, i just don't have a lot to say i guess. well just to tell you all i'm almost done with my school project comparing Tibet and Sweden. I also got a job which i forgot to announce to everyone. i also got magnet in the mail and they have a top ten artists of the year. i think we all can guess who's included in this list. there's a cute black and white photo of a very adorable looking stuart. just thought i'd tell you all. now i guess i should find something to do. oh yes i've just developed this terrible cough and i had a fever yesterday. just thought i'd tell you all. kristie and her pembroke welsh corgi reggie +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: i fell into a puddle...
by Alix Campbell 17 Jan '99

17 Jan '99

i'm afraid this is quite dull....oh, no change there. can someone help me with that chat thingy? you know what i mean i hope, because i don't. what i need is someone to come round my house and sort it out. more conveniently, can someone write to me and explain this fucking thing? obviously, you can come round my house if you really want, i'll make you some tea, but....just help me please. i've tried all that seems logical to me to make it work. but as i'm not logical most of the time, it still doesn't work. i just had a big surprise - my old school has a web site, and i just visited it. funny funny funny. search engines are dangerous things, aren't they?. at the end of the 6th form bit, it said 'Gosford Hill sixth formers are a pretty special bunch of young people' HA HA HA. i wonder which teacher wrote it. go and see it, there's pictures of my friends in the library 'studying' (hmmm - incentive?) i had something relevent to add, i know i did. oh shit. toilet duck alix ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "No, Patrick," Luis says. "They were . . . broiled" It's silent in the boardroom as I contemplate this, thinking it through before asking, finally, "What's 'broiled,' Luis?" "I'm not sure," he says. "I think it involves . . . a pan" +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: to ye-ye or not to? And cooking
by Mark Casarotto 17 Jan '99

17 Jan '99

Well, I don't know what it is, and I might well look ridiculous, but I want a ye-ye dress too... Peter Withe, of course, is best remembered as the man who almost cast the mighty Wimbledon FC back from whence they came, gaining one win in his 18 match spell in charge of the Super Dons in 1991, I think. Anyway, back to the point - when are we going to get onto the important stuff - what people have *under* their underwear? The smut quotient lately has slipped very low, so let's cut to the chase, shall we, people? Nice to see John Irving mentioned again - I may have said before that my second favourite book ever is "The Cider House Rules", though Garp is pretty high up there too. Actually, books, along with cooking, are having a bit of a renaissance in my life. Although this may be a particularly tedious thread for many, if anyone has any favourite recipes they'd like to send me, they would genuinely be really appreciated. The other night I made a penne alla puttanesca, sub Lady Penelope standard, of course, but it didn't turn out too badly. And I'm getting more inspired every day...the lovely Vicky is making Chinese gain this weekend, though, so I may just get depressed at the fact that I'll never be as talented as her... Anyway, back to books - on StayLuckyRory's advice, I bought the most recent Murukami novel on Wednesday - I haven't started it yet, and as you've probably guessed I can't even remember the title, but I'm assured it's fantastic, so watch this space... Enough, then. Lunch time is over and drearisome labours must recommence. kisses and cuddles, Mark xxx Sheathing my lithe yet masculine figure (yeah, right) - in my dreams, a ye-ye dress, in gold and navy, I think; in reality, the same bloody ribbed v-neck and cords combo I've worn for the past three months. But with a different colour pair of tartan boxers. Will my B&S worship never cease? +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister:A cheery wave from a stranded youngster
by headrush city 17 Jan '99

17 Jan '99

( The Subject is *almost* Mogwai's "a cheery wave from stranded youngsters". ) Well, I've been a voyer for about a week now, and what a lovely experience it's been. It's a right little community you've got here. Reading my mails makes my insides go all warm and woozy, like when you're a bit tipsy and you love everyone. The earth-shattering thing I "do", John Murtagh who was the one who asked, and the rest of you cuddly listees,is A Levels. I live in Cyprus at the moment, and if it weren't for my NME subscription and John Peel on British Forces radio who brought me Belle & Sebastian, my life would be a much emptier place - I fell in love with the band as soon as I heard Dog On Wheels. I can't wait to start University back in England later this yearand meet real live B&S fans, a creature so elusive in this part of the world that its existence is merely conjecture and speculation(apart from my brother). That's why you people make me feel so >bouncy< (thank you, whoever recently used that word, I can't remember who it was). I don't like to bleed you all dry of mail without making myself useful, so I'm going to suggest a thread. Bear with me for a minute, please... I recently met someone at a party who had the most beautiful eyes I've ever seen on a boy - deep blue with really dark lashes. So dark, in fact, that I suspected he was wearing mascara. The next time I saw him, at a club, alcohol and lust were giving blood a good fight for occupation of the greatest volume in my veins. (Oh alright then, I was drunk as a skunk and crazed with desire.) I went up to him and said(cringe) : "Were you wearing mascara the last time I saw you or are you always this gorgeous?" Every time I think of it I want to curl up in a corner whimpering. And so we come to the thread: Have any of you said/done anything as embarrassing as this in the presence of someone you fancy the batman pants off? If so, please share - you'll get knowing sympathy and understanding "you poor dear"-type soothing words (and maybe a few laughs, but not cruel ones, promise). Go on - you know we want you to. And so I've eased myself on to the Sinister list. My darlings it's the place to be. Love and snowflakes , Natasha ~*~ "What are days for?... They are to be happy in: Where can we live but days?"

Sinister: My pants and other animals
by Elizabeth Daplyn 17 Jan '99

17 Jan '99

Hi popkids. All quiet on the western front apart from having to write an exhibition review to hand in as an essay for part of my preliminary exam assessment. And I've got to write it all tonight. Eek! Why do I do these things to myself? Anyway, wot's all this nonsense about "panties"? KNICKERS! Or possibly just plain old PANTS. Or "trolleys" is quite good. Anyway, I have been feverishly buying black lacy underwear just so I can keep up with the hidden sartorial excesses of all you precious little kittens. But where will I find a pair of tartan boxers? And aren't they a bit uncomfy for girls, what with the redundant fly and all? Questions, questions... The Wee Git wrote: > Tomorrow morning I've got to get up at > 6am to go to a tournament at some second-rate university in the middle of > England - Oxford I think the place is called. Right, you little (big) sod, there's no need to be nasty, even if you do have an almighty inferiority complex about being a tab. We Oxonians do our best to make you feel comfy with luxuries you may not be used to. Like...walls, clothes, that sort of thing. Tee hee. Whoever said that we Brits are missing out on Buffy, HAH! We're not any more: they've started showing it. Yay! However, I won't get to see most of the series until I go home at Easter, as I really can't be arsed to fight over the TV control in the common room. So my mum's taping it for me (she likes it too) because she is an angel. I'm sure you'll be pleased to learn that I have more or less mastered the tremendously difficult chord F#min (I think. It may just be plain old F#), and can now annoy my bedroom walls with the lilting strains of The Boy Done Wrong Again. Tiptop, and indeed ripsnorting stuff, as St. John Peel might very well say in such a situation. I find bits of The Gate floating around in my mind for _days_ after I've listened to TIJAMRS (to rhyme with pyjamas, someome's probably done that one already, sorry), despite it being the song on the EP that I listen to with the least assiduousness. Funny eh? Rightyho, I'll just be off to soak some muslin in wax or something else equally impenetrably arty. Toodlepip. Liz :x On my feet: daft Miss Selfridge trainer-sandal hybrid things, despite it being rather too nippy out for such frivolous footwear. +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: What's she gonna look like with a chimney on her?
by Mctaggart, Robert 17 Jan '99

17 Jan '99

Oh you pretty things, Well thanks a bunch, Mr. Stuart Gardiner. My journey to work was treacherous this morning, and it's all your fault for complaining about the lack of snow. And it's the wrong kind of snow as well, it's all slushy and crap and miserable. Luckily, my day has been brightened immeasurably by what Oon wrote: >my felicity remains in this nifty trousers You know, a million monkeys with a million typewriters couldn't come with a sentence as wonderful that in a million years. Oon, you are my new God, especially now Mrs Murdoch has spurned my amorous advances. Alexis wrote: >A Tin Tin Out version of Belle And Sebastian! >Am I the only person around here who thinks that sounds like a >right laugh? No, you're not. The campaign for a B&S remix album starts here. I'm quite serious. The Pastels remix LP was smashing after all. And I'm looking forward to Doktor Divine and Beans' Booty Bouncing remix of Looper. I'll do a mix, I know how a sampler works. I'll happily turn "You made me forget my dreams" into a sonic dub meltdown, or embellish "Fox in the snow" with samples from "Male Stripper" and snatches of dialogue from Russ Meyer films. It'll be ace, trust me. Keith wrote: >It's nice to see that it's perked up on the list. Lets >have a great big poll and see how many of us like the Boards of >Canada. I like the Boards of Canada, they do indeed rule. But I prefer the Broads of Canada, boom-boom. Have I made that joke before? Never mind, it's very, very funny. Can I go now?

Hi Everyone, I've been on the list for about a month now and I just thought I'd say hi! Does anyone think B&S will perform at the Brit Awards when they collect their award?
