The ABC is Run by Evil Sparrows

May 28, 2000

We’re having problems with our lights at the moment. We have to replace the lightblubs for one particular light on almost a weekly basis, but now it just won’t turn on at all.

I’ll Be a Ghost

May 1, 2000

Yes, I’m sure Sega’s latest videogame console will follow the MINDBLOWING SUCCESS of all their previous consoles. Then again, even Nintendo has been known to have their hits and misses – does anyone remember the Virtual Boy? It was a shoulder-mounted headset that had rather shite black-and-white vision you squinted at through a set of [...]
