Does anyone know if the ads they have in the back of Private Eye actually work? IE, do people begging for help with money to fund their education etc actually get money put directly into their bank accounts by kind readers?
Here is what I got from the vending machine at the ICA before I ran out of cash - yes, I only had £4:

The Wicker Man, Director Robin Hardy
Chris Cooke: One For The Road (stars Hywel Bennett from Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy as Richard)
Japanese Story, Director Sue Brooks
Enemy Of The State, Director Tony Scott
when I was 8 or 9 I bought a bike in a auction (held at a fete at my school in Helpston) with my pocket money, and used a small pot of silver enamel paint from a model shop to paint the bike silver. My memories of that bike are joyful, cycling for miles on my own, no handed, exploring villages and countryside that were new for me and seemed only to exist on those rides. Found once, never to be found again. See undercurrent about George Shaw, who paints using enamel paint: Utopia in Humbrol
