Jim or some Avalonions want a convention, but who had this idea the first, and Jim is upset because there are copies of Horoscope on the market. Aren't we a bit too serious, in my opinion we make Jim far more important then he actually is. For me it is one big joke. But when we come at a point where we start to fight with each other, the joke is over and there only one laughing....

I'm relieved to say that 'we' are in there, with FYP clocking in at a very respectable No.33 (though frankly, in my highly biased fashion, I reckon it should have been 32 places higher). I had to do it, of course, see how many of the 100 I'd got in my own collection, which is exactly 50. Don't know if that's a good thing or not. 'Revolver' got the top spot, by the way.

When she asks him to play 'Some of the old songs, Sam' (i.e. just before she asks for 'ATGB') the tune he plays is actually called 'Avalon'...

Having left England some twelve years ago to live in the US,I can honestly say that the one thing I miss the most is the Humour (SARCASTIC,Piss Taking,yet always un-malicious rapport) amongst both friends and aquaintenses.(OK-and the Curries!) I have had a smile brought to my face many times since joining the list,and as so,It has become far more than a mere information service. I for one hope the humourous ellement continues,just as long as It isn't(which,BTW, I believe It hasn't been) malicious. Regards, DM.
