sheffield_dave Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 Kivo, do you have any permament store for this sort of stuff? I feel like the effort you go to to find and compile this stuff should be preserved better than simply posts on Owlstalk (which can obviously fall into obscurity, be deleted or even just lost by the system).

blueandwhitematt Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 Does anyone remember that BBC documentary Alan Hansen did in the early 00s, titled 'Flying Too Close To The Sun' or something similar? Was a section about us on it, seem to remember he did a thoroughly depressing interview with Kevin Pressman about how we had fallen from grace. Tried to find it for ages, but had no luck.
