Ragers,

We went with the theme "The Number 24" this time, because it's our 24th issue. We're not necessarily going to continue with this system - hell, next time it might not even be a number. But it's working so far.

The highlight this month comes from our resident transport enthusiast and historian Ralph Harrington. His analysis of the Number 24 London bus covers is a genuinely fascinating read (and I hope survives the accompaniment of photos taken by me, sitting out the entire route on the top deck, one grey February day). Ralph was quite jealous I got to ride the bus. "I've been on the Number 25," he said, "but it doesn't even come close."

Equally intriguing are Sylvia Bellini's thoughts on procrastination (and, not being funny, but her piece came in today - a day after the deadline. She knows her stuff). And you'll enjoy the wordily wonderful musings from enigmatic ATR first-timer Dorothy Winter before continuing to lose your grip on reality with comedian Paul Kerensa's list of things that happened on the 24th of each month over a year in movieland.

In which month did the dead walk the corridors of Raccoon City? What's 24 hours from East Cheam? And why were London buses were labelled 'a national disgrace'? Find answers to these and other urgent topical questions that we need to be asking if our so-called society has a hope of pulling itself out of this mess in the March issue of your favourite annoying-format internet publication which still doesn't even have a bloody RSS feed or anything am I supposed to remember to read it using my brain or something what are we amish, All The Rage.
