That's what the loans are for :)  When I got my first one three years ago,
I immediately ran out and bought... a lava lamp.

Bastardbastardbastard!  I was meant to be taking part in an on-line chat
with the Spice Girls, but Capital FM screwed it up, so it never happened
:(   I was so looking forward to giving Sporty my homepage address so she
could see my photo and fall madly in love with me.

Yeah?  I'm still waiting to hear Ian Brown's single.

I only bought their album at the weekend there, but it is grand.

BTW, the header should say "Hai!  Ci!  Ja!", because that means Yes in
Japanese, Spanish and German, fact-fans.

Oh, and anyone wanting to get into TOTP should do what I do.  Turn up on
the day, and find a group of two or three people.  TOTP send out tickets
for 4 so you can usually blag in with some complete strangers.  Worked for
me!
