Are their news-announcements still going to appear?  Or should all be
subscribing to the NewsList too?

Nice boxers!

Oi!  I was "roddddddd at null.net" for a while as well (and anything with
"ceerab@" or "R.A.Begbie" at the head of it).  I demand a recount.

Well, we might allow you to drink alcopops at the picnic, then!  I bet
you're excited at that prospect.

Me!  Got my ticket on Saturday (oooh, it's sparkly), so I'll be wandering
around all weekend in my "Helen Love" t-shirt again :)

Miles better than the shambles two years ago (Ricky Ross, Barenaked Ladies
and Alanis Morissette playing the main stage).  My only concern is Garbage
and Natalie Imbrooglywoogly are both third billing on Sunday on their
respective stages -- However will I decide who to see?

Did anyone see the quote in the papers about why they chose to hold the
festival during the World Cup Final weekend?  It was the only weekend they
could guarantee Scotland wouldn't be playing.  hehe.

Of course.  Passing exams is for L00SERS!  Dr0P-0Ut5 R00L!!!

#1 Cheesecake.  That's how I heard the lyrics too.  But then again, I came
up with "balloon effigy", so my opinion is very much null and/or void.

Good luck, and that.

Kewl!  Make sure and ask him what it was like to be on Muppets Tonight.

To the tune of Goldfinger: "Piiiiierce Brosnan (bwah-bwaah-bwaaaah), He's
the guy, the guy with the clocks that fly. He just clocked that guy."

Quality.



I'm keeping out of the whole 'lait de tigre' (thanks for that, babelfish)
scandal, cause my views have been posted before.  But if you want a
copyright-related giggle, here's a clipping from the latest NTKnow
(http://www.ntk.net)

         The BPI this week discovered that RealAudio streams *could*
         be recorded, after all. Shocked, *shocked*, by this
         discovery, and feeling betrayed by assurances that Web
         users could never in a million years have worked out what
         that "Line Out" socket was for, they immediately demanded
         compensation from all the music Websites. In a typically 
         brave stand, the BBC shut down all their Radio 1 RA 
         streams. We're just hoping no-one snitches to the BPI about 
         that "taping the John Peel Show off the radio onto a C60" 
         scam.

                        - FLASH! BBC closes down all RealAudio streams!
         http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio1/listeningbooth/
                - UPDATE! Wily hackers find secret backdoor to RA files!

               - go on, just intercept the data going to your sound card

Remember, you can run, but you can't hide your legs.
