Andrew Donkin - A SELFS regular who they let write children's books. His graphic adaptation of fairy-bothering criminal-mastermind Artemis Fowl's first adventure is utterly stonking. Enthusiasm - A Novelty Choking Hazard, by occasional SELFS-ster Marc Robinson. It's a top google hit for "weird shit", apparently. Fowler Troops and the Deptford Jack-in-the-Green - Sarah Croft's pages on the history and present of the annual Jack-in-the-Green procession through south-London as well as a list of other Jack-in-the-Greens. It includes pictures, locations (pubs) and contact details for future events. |
