Found myself watching the darts on the telly. Looked up some more info
about "Lakeside, home of World Darts" - and found out that that the
prize for winner of the men's championship is £100,000. The prize for
the winner of the women's championship? £6,000.

lessons learned from Vogon poetry to the art of copywriting: "'Oh

Shoreditch-based Sound Nation is advertising for a copywriter, but
they're not offering any money for the job. That's OK, though, because
copywriters live in a magical fairy land where rent bills and
mortgages are paid for with tufts of grass and the clucks of a jolly
hen, tra la la.
