You're very welcome, I'd hate to miss something that Derren Brown had
done ie. a radio show, or a newspaper article. Hopefully we'll have
everything covered right here in this group.
Although, we are running out of space - maybe we need to set up
another group so we have another 20MB of space. Or simply just swap
it out with new stuff when they come in. I had to do that with the
magazine scans and replace it with the new radio shows.
Anyone heard from Lauren - the owner of this group. Haven't seen her
post a message in here for ages, hope she's ok.
