Sinister: L'amour est bleu
Cor blimey guvner, is it really over a month since I posted larst? Well, I don't know about you, but I'm in the mood for some headings: BAD WEEK This week, I have eaten one tub of Haagen Dazs Cookies 'n' Cream and one tub of Haagen Dazs Baileys (they were 2 for 1 in Sainsbury's - how could I refuse such an offer?), told a BIG FAT LIE to Ben Fernyhough about the tape tree (soz mate), let my social graces go in a big way by forgetting to call the people who were meant to be coming round to watch my tube video (soz girlies) and spent a WHOLE HOUR working out the phone bill for our house, only to find that if I'd divided it by four, I would have come up with more or less the same results. SUPERGRAN My Nanna and Grandad came over for tea and birthday cake on Sunday (Grandad was 81). Nanna told us about her friend Reg. "He's very keen on his organ" - we sniggered quietly. "He plays on it every day" - Mum lost control and snorted. Dad said "He'll go blind" - even Grandad had a quiet smirk. Nanna thought we were taking the piss and got upset. FRENCH DISKO May I recommend Claudine Longet to all those francophile seekers of musique? She's lovely, especially on L'amour est bleu (I believe this was also done by the Magnetic Fields, trivia fans). SPURIOUS CLAIMS, SCURRILOUS RUMOUR AND HOT GOSSIP A friend of a friend went to a Smiths night at the Star and Garter in Manchester. Andy Rourke was DJing, but being the Huge Smiths Fan she is, she decided to get pissed and slag him off to the other DJ. "He's a bunch of crap, a sack of arse" she slurred (note: I am paraphrasing slightly), "he could never be as great as Morrissey". Oh, and by the way, she said, the other DJ was the singer out of Belle and Sebastian - apparently he's very quiet and doesn't go out much. Anyone care to shed some light on this story? I am quite prepared for it to be LIES, ALL LIES, but I'd be interested to hear... REMINGTON TRIMMERS AT THE READY Am I the only one to notice monsieur Murdoch's fluffy blond nasal hair on those pseudo-seventies-top-of-the-pops-style-up-your-nose-camera-shots (hyphen heaven!) on the Tube? Also, had I been one of those oh-so-lucky-audience-members (ain't no stoppin' me now), I would have tried my very hardest to catch Isobel's attention and make her laugh during the whistley bit. Cos you can't whistle at the same time as laugh, now, can you? TRACK & FIELD Anybody from the London area going on Friday? Sorry - not a great post. I'm out of practice, y'see.

Cher-lot: Even when Juicy Lucy branded her own message as uninspired it seemed as refreshing and informing as old ones in salad days.Her nickname always makes me think of a smiling and friendly orange, sorry Lucy,but I love oranges not because I am quasi-one or I come from orange-land,I just love them and exactly today I messed all around(carpet,desk...)in our 'computing unit' when eating a specially juicy,big and nice one.My workmate was looking at me out of the corner of his eye with an astounded expression when I ended eating it above the dustbin not to soil any other clean surface in the surroundings.A surreal fruit experience. I had never heard before of Claudine-french-singer,so I will take note about her.Suggesting something more contemporary : Louis Philippe,Dominique A,Diabologum,Pascal Comelade. Spain is rivalring with Thailand to be the focus of international attention,no doubt: Mr Marbella,( ex-president of Atletico de Madrid for our footie fans)one of our national Icons,greasy,huge,fond of gold chains,open shirts showing hairy chest,and a wife who looks like a second-rate vedette just imported from Las Vegas,managed to make it into the headlines last weekend and today's The Guardian frontpage cares about Southern Spaniards heads, who seemed to be in risk, after 15 giant ice-balls falling on the area. Mr Jesus Gil/Marbella is famous to contribute a new word to our dictionary which described him perfectly (even when it was not designed to it):Ostentoreo.It is a mix of flamboyant and stentorian.Stemboyant,let's say.Great word. Maybe it should be included in some song,like 'clutch'.There are so many words who would like to be included in a song.And names.It is unfair all songs are about people called Jenny,Lisa,and Judy,a bit of imagination,please.All the Cressidas and Antheas and Nigellas also have a right... On Fiona's taxis,my life in Madrid is much less B&Sesque than here,according to public transport.Only in half-size cities you use buses all the time,so they must be the demographic agglomeration more B&S.And I am all bereaved on your late T-Shirt, my mum did exactly the same with the first T-Shirt sporting a band's logo or something ever (MADCHESTER , Happy Mondays, 1990)and since then,I am not very happy about getting bands t-shirts.All this people around who have killed some pet must understand this feeling,you know how horrible it would be if it happenned again. This theory should explain why I have not got a Study-at-Stow one yet,even when in this case, my not very well endowed anatomy would allow me to wear nearly an S size,and felt compensated somehow for years of ignominy at PE : my pervert (female) teacher was always blaming me for other people's talking,laziness and disruption.It was generally suspected that it had to do with her general tendency to big-breasted pubescent girls, among which I never was... Stop making nonsense and go back to matrices and more matrices. xxx A. +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the undead Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister@missprint.org".
