POP-EYE 12/11/00
Oh, I pity poor Tom & Tanya last week. It truly was a seething cess-pit of horror that particular chart. Admittedly the run-down I get to cut my Pop-Eye teeth is one constituted of much of last weeks dross, but at least this wee[…]

Let me let you into a secret
Read post

Let me let you into a secret – Tom will kill me but he’s at least one hundred miles away now and there is no chance he can catch me with that kind of head start. One of the problems with a team blog is that the other members of the blog c[…]
