Bohemia Village Voice

Dear Lord Rothermere,

Interesting to see the 2 different formats. The Word doc sure looks more like a news sheet, but speaking as one viewing on a smallish laptop, the continual scrolling up, down and sideways required to read  each piece is a nuisance. However, reading it as an email makes it look just that – less of a news sheet, more an email from some bloke. Its a quandary. Basically, Id rather it fell through my letterbox so I could read it properly. [working on it – ed]

I found the article by Dave Kent, and its delightful illustration amusing. He is a funny guy. I also liked the Vie de Bohème extract, in as much as I couldn’t be bothered to read it, but I think that many people would enjoy it, since they wouldn’t otherwise encounter such literature in their TV-filled existences. I think it’s a good thing to push people’s brains a bit and it raises the tone of the paper.
