Come to think of it, I'm not sure the guy I'm thinking of *was* the editor... Confused He might have been one of the underboys, though he always acted like he was in charge. In any case, he became editor later, through the use of his evil powers.
It's all so vague... so vague... apart from those bottles of piss in the wardrobe.

I do hope so, otherwise I'd be thinking that he doesn't love us anymore
Gordo! Tell us it isn't so! x-)

Yeah, it was tongue-in-cheek. They wanted something a little different for the WOTR article: they tend to put a sideways slant on most things, so the kind of piece I usually do (i.e. Zzap! was the best job I had) wouldn't have fitted there. All the stuff that happened in the background seemed like a good alternative.
I don't mind people asking me about Zzap! in emails, but like I say early on in that piece, I do wonder why they bother writing to me; I was pretty low down the editorial pecking order.
