ROCKY ROAD
Yes,
we hit the
stoney trail(ers) again
and it's downhill all the way
Big . . . .

But remember that low-
sperm count and the soaring population
burden on the world.
Refer to your poor self-image and appalling lack
of self-confidence.
Hesitate, consider,
hesitate. Too late!
Maybe you'd better
stick to the higher path,
after all.

HOW TO
WASTE
YOUR LIFE
PLUS NEWS, VIEWS, BLUES AND SHOES
In need of medical advice? Well, hard luck! Because we can only offer you our own Docker De'Ath. Our own dedicated public service unit, the good Docker has only just finished a period providing community service to rancid old ladies in need of a good wallpapering. But now he's back offering his notorious free postal breast examinations. Just send the good Docker a photograph of your breasts (or if you prefer enclose one or both breasts in a brown manilla envelope) and the Docker will write back expressing his thanks.
We have all the
best tips and tricks
to ensure complete
lack of success in
the real World

In the Announcement, Pronouncements, Excuses & Lies Dept

Pulling up the trouser leg of eternity to pluck the hairs of time, we explore the appalling series of cock-ups, miscalculations, misjudgements, misadventures and missed appointments (with destiny) that brought us to this point and we ask: Where Are We? And How Did We Get Here?
