Hey Sands, > my sadly neglected website You're website isn't neglected ... at least by me; it was one of the first I visited in my surfing adolescence. Alas, I'm now in my autumnal phase. And you know, I used to think it was del-urking instead of de-lurking. Tom Yahoo!

Maybe we can get McDonald's to give out free website programming courses or something with Big Macs. Anyway I was only able to hear Iain "crooning" Ace of Spades (a nice treat) because it actually made sense to have a link do what the desciption said it would do.

Only a list of artists and in the wrong order at that. If you could even find the right page that is. Maybe I can get a job as a BBC web programmer when I learn to skive too! And ok I admit the Teenage Fanclub was nice but think about how convenient it would be if say cassettes had no fastforward or reverse, just a "jump 15 minutes button" and you are handed a tape with the Dels taking up 1/2 hour somewhere on it. As for George W. you can always go to www.whitehouse.gov to talk to him. I do it all the time, maybe that explains the black cars with tinted windows always following me around? > The link was for the whole 2 hour show. The dels > were only on for the last > hour.

Bracknell is far more of a dump than Reading - I should know as I've lived here for the past 17 years (not through choice but because it's the only place in the South of England where I could afford a house). But I'd heard about this site - though not actually seen it before. Thanks Debbie.
