That’s it then, in a week in which winter finally arrived in a flurry of soft, fluffy snow. A week in which a girl was found in a jungle in Cambodia, half-feral, unable to speak and thus unable to give us the key to her mystery. And a week in which even people who hadn’t ever watched Big Brother suddenly had an opinion on Jade Goody, and we finally worked out what the show actually is: a savage post-modern satire, reflecting the state of the nation by exaggerating it.

This week we’d like to thank the following people without whose help we couldn’t have put the mag together: Lee Symons, Richards the butchers, Tab Hunter, Robb Johnson, Gemma Rosefield, Ben, Felix, Jack and Chris of the Laser Crabs, Tom Reeves, Pamela Tudor-Craig, Sarah Hunter and Nash Robbins.

This week’s contributors are: Steve George, William Leith, Jessica Wood, Dexter Lee, Antonia Gabassi, Esther McMahon, Emma Robertson, Andrea Mindel, Steve King, Adrienne Campbell, Scott Chowen, Nick Williams, Katie Moorman and Alex Leith.
