Sadly, the competition to win a free copy of Stuart David's novel 'Nalda Said' is over. The lucky winners are Helen McLean and Peter Mitchell.

Crikey - that's my dad! I didn't even know he entered! He never entered the sweary competition... actually I think Alex means Peter Millllllller. Peter you can't now win the Sinister competition no matter how well you swear. You old stiffy! Any more swear-words? We've had "some more" entries for our very own Sinister Nalda competition since Tim's tragic Blue Peter appeal, but you've still got time. Closing date is midnight tonight, Edinburgh time. Hurry now. And - here's the latest Jeepster Nudes Bulletin, cut up 'n' edited just for you in a postmodern fashion to contain 100% B&S related content..ish. For those who aren't subscribed directly.
