eh?" said Mrs D as she peered over my shoulder looking to see

what I'm gawping at on the Internet this time. "Shall we see

where two right thinking Croydonites might spend what's left of

their disposable income by way of entertainment. I saw a link

that said "Entertainment" (its on the top there four from left)

maladjusted exhibisionats on Big Brother or the media's tedious

obsession with Amy Winehouse's drug habits. The downside is I

can never remember if a film I want to see is still on at the
