    Seems OK to me. Saves trees as well.

    Anyway, better crack on. Alastair Campbell's diaries aren't going to read themselves, more's the pity. Thank goodness they only go up to 2003.

    Just spoken (MSM actually) to my ‘source’ again. He downloaded images of the pages for his daughter last night and had a peek this morning. His daughter went into a right paddy over breakfast. “DON’T TELL ME! LA, LA, LA. Not listening. I HATE YOU”, sort of stuff. She won’t talk to him now.

    I think I know another man who will be queuing up on Friday night. That’ll teach him to be a smart arse!

    Was the dad called Edward? You wouldn't catch me on the streets of Glossop at midnight on a Friday night.

    Nope.

    I guessed someone else and told yes, but I'm not telling.

    Aparently the book ends with, "All was well".

    Nah, it'll be on alt.binaries.e-books in a week or two, if it isn't already

    (not that I'll bother reading the great big doorstopper, although I might buy the DVD when it comes out)
