# i like that.
My old boss worked on the launch of that paper. It was all revolutionary, the fact they pioneered colour newspapers etc, but all anyone can remember is that it was shite. Oh well.

# It was revolutionary.
Like Morning TV. Remember - there was no TV 'twixt midnight and around 9am the next day.

# Nope.
I couldn't! I've left London last week and moved to the Northwest (South Manchester) because I got a new J.O.B. (Like Dick Whittington only in reverse). Its much cheaper up here and no one has heard of fashion. I'm the best dressed in town. How was the bash?

# bash was incredible
and YAY to another b3tan in South Manchester. Unbelieveably I think I have had it all to myself until now.

# the bash was great -
glad it was only geography that mant you couldn't make it. A woo and a yay to your new job, and to a lack of fashion.

# i liked the Today
my mum bought it - the first paper that carried Dilbert in England, *FACT*

And the way the colours were terrible with green faces and flesh coloured clothes etc where the colours didn't match up. ace paper.

# it was easy to embarrass oneself
and have it go relatively unnoticed. Which was handy.

Oh, and your missus is due a kicking when I get my hands on her. Supergay indeed.....tsk!
