ATReaders,

You remember All The Rage? Welcome to the bumper summer edition, all 50 pages of it. Shut up, you do remember. Stop it, not funny. Stop! It's only been a year. You really don't remember? Well, I'm a... friend of your parents. Just stop kicking and get in the car, you're coming with me.

The theme was Style, which prompted a huge amount of protest. But LOOK at what they came up with, the old writers and the new writers. Look what they pulled out of the bag for you. Have you ever seen a better issue? Of anything?

We have style tips for the soon-to-be dead, a guide to dropping stuff down stairs, reports on ties, hair, summer dressing and summer reading. We have scout leaders, Grace Kelly and a Starship Enterprise full of observant Jews. We have Bruce Willis, bowler hats, breasts and the phrase "she was an absolute delight: charming, funny, and so unimaginably beautiful that within about fifteen minutes of knowing her IĠd decided to become a poet." We have a touching encounter with Errol Flynn's widow, and we have the cleverest review of a Sunday supplement you'll ever read.

We have all these things and more. I'm afraid we don't have the advertised 'Bruegel's Tower of Babel vs The layouts of H&M stores'. Nor do we have a 'get the look' guide to Sian Williams' BBC Breakfast wardrobe based on items sourced from the high street, because at the last minute I decided to switch off the TV set and do something less boring instead. Why don't you?

We are all lying in the gutter, but some of us are staring at the shoes.
