The short excerpts of eclectic instrumental music interspersed with the boy-you-got-'em-all-jammed-in-here microfictions, and the absence of From Colchester To Sulawesi at the end, gives this highlights reel edition of the show a very different feel.

You gotta get your erotomanic delusions somewhere, I guess.Attacking and mocking my supposed sexual triggers in one thread is not really a good basis for a retort to my challenges to you in another Suzianne.

Colchester has many attractions, and many interesting activities, such as shopping.I like to think The Gravedigger is referring to Erroneous Reckoning by Bill Lawrance which was maybe the first Onion in Show 527.
