Firstly: Do you sleep on your back, front or side?
If at all possible, yes. Reminds me of a shit playground joke: 1: "Have you got hair?" 2: "Yes." 1: "Have you got a back?" 2: "Yes" 1: "Have you got a side?" 2: "Yes" 1: "Haha! You've got a hairy backside!" Almost as funny as the Pea Soup gag
(are B&S lovers a broad enough representation of the human race?)
I think that describing us as "human"s would challenge Darwin's theories a smidge. On Thu, 21 May 1998, eeyore's tail wrote:

looked at Edinburgs - surprised not to see any Honeys in catsuits adorning the centrefold, but alas Edinbra does no media poo, which is the only thing i THINK i might end up doing...wow, having to think about futures, I CAN'T GO TO UNIVERSITY! THATS GROWN UP!!!! (yeh well oook....mebbes not, but....wwauugh etc) - anyway, so me might not be going to Edinbruh. *sighs*
Napier Uni does various meejah courses, but it's a bad idea doing it in Edinburgh, as there's piss-all media interest bar The Scotsman and the Edinburgh Evening News. Better doing a course near to London. My sister's doing one at West Kent College in Tonbridge, which she reckons is pretty damn good. On Fri, 22 May 1998, A.M. Horne wrote:
more relevantly tho.... isn't ben elton rubbish now? didn't he used to eb good, or was it just because i was a sixth-fromer in 1989 and it all seemed a little dangerous.
I've been wondering this too. I listened to an old tape, and the "house-sharing" sketch is still as funny as I remember it being five years ago... possibly funnier, since I've now actually lived like a student, and really know the meaning of the phrase "Hey look, it's only a sausage." His last two novels have been pretty lame, too. Still, at least Alexei Sayle's new series is well up to his usual standards. (I can say this, cause Peter isnae around to do his Bobby Charriot impression :) On Fri, 22 May 1998, Alan Prior wrote:

I am sooooooo shite at driving, having a good car would be a mistake< haha, but not as shit as me, i'll bet. have my test next week. am going to fail soooooo badly. is that a bit of a contradiction?
You think you've got problems? I've got to learn to drive *and* pass my test between 20th June and 17th August. That's going to be a total fucking barrel of laughs.
if you fail something badly do you actually pass it?
Yes, but only in a parallel universe. On Fri, 22 May 1998, A.M. Horne wrote:

I'm stuck with Voulez Vous at the moment. But not the Abba version. The version Alan Partridge did, where he over emphasizes the "Aha" bits. Voulez vooooooo AHA take it now or leave AHA now is all you get AHA On Fri, 22 May 1998, Alan Prior wrote:
whats the best band t-shirt to wear to a job interview at a record shop?
Fave T-shirt at the moment. Plain white with "SUBLIMINAL MESSAGE" on it in black letters. Until it goes under a UV light, when the words "HERION MINDFUCK" mysteriously appear. On Fri, 22 May 1998, Alan Prior wrote:
