Theres also Ice Nine and a shop almost opposite it that sells
PVC & rubber stuff as well. Go in and talk to the bloke behind
the counter, ask him if hes a Scorpio and if hes interested in
Magick then tell him your psychic and you think he plays Role
Playing games, it`ll probably freak him out :-).
I spoke to him for an hour or so about a week ago.

Cheers
Luke

Well, indeed. Phoenix (Cheltenham) and (Bugger. Can't remember[1])
(Gloucester) seem to be getting used to me...

Too late, we went to Nottingham on Saturday.

Ick! No we went to Select-a-Disc, less distance to walk when it's pissing
with rain.

But we can do that at home.

Banshee, currently skint after visiting Medusa and Nottingham.

Thanks for the tips folks. Of course, the fact that I had plenty of money
for a change meant that I couldn't find much to spend it on. Managed to
find a pair of one-size-too-small winkle-pickers in Void though - mind, I
wasn't too impressed with the rest of their stuff. A few CDs from
Select-a-Disc too. Managed to avoid Nightbreed thankfully.

My apologies! I couldn't get onto the News Server last week!
*grin* Didn't get too wet then I hope?

Good choice! Cheaper too but don't tell Trev I said so!

True. But then, you don't live around here so the security guards wont
recognise you!

thank you mr 10-year-old-pvc-trousers. an extra fiver off a skirt means
3 extra pints (or 2 if you're drinking in trillians).

after the other week i did wonder how ian could afford to spend his
saturdays in there.
sheesh. time to find a new pub...

Why do you thinks we all leave the pub B4 8?

Not only do they put the prices up on the beer, they also put them up on
the Black!

[1] yes it's a blatant sympathy ploy for no reason whatsoever.

re [1]: nope, but for the rest, yup. I thought I was the only one that
