Spurred to write! Fiona, if your society is like my society was at university, don't you use the £300 left over to buy records with? That's what we did, and although the records remained the property of the society, it was not impossible to do the teensiest bit of embezzling without anyone noticing... Also, I have to ask, but WHY on earth do you want to know what you're getting for Xmas? What's the point in having a day to exchange pressies if you already know what the pressies are (it's obviously different if you've asked for stuff)? So, instead of getting lots of great things after weeks of gleeful anticipation, you just get the great things, and have to fake joy and surprise. Sounds like a raw deal to me. I'm not having a go, I just don't get the logic. Unless the fun in trying to peek is greater than the anticipation. Am I answering my own question? Carsmile Steve forgot to mention that although the Notting Hill Arts Club is free, the beer decidedly isn't. Be sure to smuggle in easy-open 2-litre bottles of your favourite beer, or a hip flask, whichever better suits your lifestyle choice. See you later then, Mark (popping out again, see you soon...) ********************************************************************** HIT Entertainment PLC Maple House 149 Tottenham Court Road London, W1T 7NF Tel: +44 (20)7 554 2500 Fax: +44 (20)7 388 9321 The contents of this e-mail from HIT Entertainment PLC are confidential and intended for the addressee only.
