Oh look... Blair has decided that his pledge to stop all street crime by September 30th was perhaps a little hasty. What a shame :)

... And Dreamweaver is sooooo slow. Bring on ASDL!

Anyway, I would still really appreciate any comments on the webpage. It's all html based because me and Tom haven't got time to build a database yet, but we hope to soon; then hopefully it'll all be much more efficient to run.

Haven't been posting much to the Lair recently, very slack. Have been working away on the SLG website, which is coming along if a little slowly. The nightmare of getting onto Quark files which were created on a mac is more than I can bear.

criminal justice story lines in the main soaps during april/may
The big CJ storyline this month is in Eastenders, where Little Mo has gone to trial for attacking Trevor. With two versions of the outcome ready, will she or won’t she go to jail. You’ll know by Friday 19th. All four episodes will be set in the courtroom in what should be a well researched look at the issues involved.
In Brookside, Ron is having problems coping with life outside jail and in Emmerdale, Marc has been released from the Young Offenders Unit at a cost.
Coronation Street sees the return of Linda, so it turns out that Mike did not murder her after all. Phew.
