No, just saying that it has been suggested before, as a way of getting =

It has indeed.
Of course, in this instance it wouldn't help at all. The external

They'd also be rather less visible than the SU, and the lawyers might

They could even buy a BPI licence, of course.

Naa. Nick only attended

Not STRICTLY true, but back then they were all-night drink and film =
