Picture the scene, it's April 1994. A hot, raring cast get ready to give 'em the Old Razzle Dazzle. Then suddenly as the lights go down...

Greetings and many exultations to one and all. I trust we are all well after the festive/ egg/ easter season and all that....
Well here's the second issue of the magazine that tries to rekindle the fire that burnt in us all during our heady College days (writes David Patrick, 48, mother of seven).

But wait just a minute, did you know that the Galleria is to be flooded and turned into a giant marine world? With this in mind we shall pay no further attention to it and move swiftly on to the gist of this article. more... - MADHATTER OF THE MONTH
