I was editor of My Primary school paper, (TJG) I didn't tell anyone what
the letters stood for, but one teacher guessed, I also edited my Junior
HS paper....Unmasked (Madam F. Davis did horroscopes,) Two months ago I
produced a piece for a one-off school paper, (unauthorised) commenting
on the schools budgeting, and am now going for Yearbook editor for next
year, (my yr 12.) Not quite as exciting as the scripts but shows the
Lynda bug in me.

I'm yet to do that, but I did flog a staff PC card that has the
equivalent of about 5000 copies on it, I think I still have it.

I haven't been caught, I like to put my name to that sort of stuff. I
just get told not to do it again.

Because of that episode, I can't hear the word damn without yelling out
magazine....it's nearly as bad as telling people they're fired after
they tell me I'm late, quite disturbing really.

After watching Fronltine, (which is unfortunately only available to Aus.
listers, so my apologies.) My bug let go a little, I didn't like the
manipulation that went on....thats why I'm aiming to study law!

CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Maybe you could do a piece on a 16 yr
old docco maker who is looking for participants in her next production?
BTW I am studying P&P in English at the moment, and we are watching the
video, everytime Lydia flits around I can't help dying of laughter,
thinking of the difference between her and Lynda.
Sorry This is such a ridiculously long message/reply..... I promoise I
