Man Diary Archive

Long-chinned "Entries"

Fans of Digi have long made whiney, dementia-fuelled noises begging for a comprehensive archive of the Man's diary adventures, as they proceeded to smash their stupid faces against a breeze block. They would continually ask Digi to stick them up on their official website, but for whatever reason it won't happen, so I'm picking up the spine, as it were. Admittedly I've started doing this a bit late, but it was only last year that I had people making comments that a Man diary archive was something they'd like to see on here. So I'll be repositing (no not that word, you Mormon) what I can here from now on. If you can remember any "entries" from past diaries fairly accurately, then don't hesitate to "ring my bell" (mail me with them).

Grotesquely huge thanks go to all most excellent contributors for providing a whole pouch-full of old diary stories. You can thank Jonathan Cundey for allowing your eyes to see the entries from TV License Detective to 18/1/97 and the second Oasis diary, John Gray for the December '98 stuff and one "R. Frith" for everything from 24/1/98 to 29/5/98. So go on: thank the lovely guys, you uncultured little Philistine. Thank them!

Satisfied now? Or has the goodness been impaired by the exclusion of an entry that I've somehow missed? If you know it to a pretty good level of accuracy, then don't hesitate to stuff it up my pipe like a good 'un: here.
