How about a competition for the most vitriolic, paint blistering message
sent to these Pro-comedians ??
What about suing them for breach of contract for starters, those that have
paid their fiver or bought vouchers they cant use that is .....

Can't raise the census site at all this morning.
I'm thinking of starting a rumour that the site has been infected by the new
'Gotcha.X' virus, might create a window of opportunity to get in my initial
8.20 euro's worth of accessing some images.

I see they're going to bring out 1891 in the same format in 2003, wonder if
practice will make perfect ?
