A monthly subscription to Television X and an Ofcom fine for breaching rules on the protection of children to the first person who can find any reference in the Daily Express's coverage of the Desmond v. Bower verdict to the fact that he, er, lost?
OK, unrelated comment, but emails to Eye addresses tend not to work. There's a Goths in Hot Weather cartoon on p17 of the current issue, and I think it belongs here: http://www.gothsinhotweather.com/
Can I scan and send it to them? I don't want to piss off the cartoonist or the Eye more generally.
Ooh, they do you know James - as long as you get the right ones. That would be a matter for the editorial secretaries on strobes@private-eye.co.uk who would be able to put you in contact with the cartoonist.
Although I suspect most people would probably just do it and not tell anyone... you are obviously nicer and more honest than them.
I'm one of the team of hacks at Private Eye magazine, where I've worked on and off since 1997. I'm also an editorial lieutenant on Popbitch (not sure what it means: we made up the job titles in the pub). I've written for a number of other newspapers and magazines, been a co-presenter on LBC, a regular newspaper reviewer on Sky News and written a biography of the Victorian businessman and philanthropist William Lever. My first novel, Topped of the Pops, a comedy thriller, was to be published in May 2008, until the publishers went bust. From 1999-2002 I was deputy editor of The Big Issue.

Hi Adam,
I emailed over but nada, so fuck it, if I don't hear by Friday I'm going to do the bad thing. I'll make sure they link back though.
Cheers
James
