nice to see someone acting in a responsible manner
for once.  we need more of this kind of behaviour
in our quest to rid the world of the evil beast
that is, erm, what was it tim said, the
homogenising muscle of the entertainmentindustry.
burn your collections of media and get around the
old joanna for a grand sing song.  whip up a
storm.  but don't let the neighbours hear or
you'll get them hurling abuse at you for selling
out as you tidy the lawn.

toodle pip.

missing... sob sob)
