Thanks to everyone for the help and advice. I have decided to bite the bullet and just go and buy another copy of Private Eye. I do this in the knowledge that the SAME COPY will be waiting around my gaff, probably in a place I've looked before and will be found. Most likely by me. And I will have the sound DUH DUH DUUUUUH!!! go off in my head as I pick it up. At the time I made the second donation to Lord Gnome I bought a couple of Lotto Lucky Dips. Maybe there'll be some kind of karmic payback on the part of the universe. Or maybe the universe'll continue to be the bastard it's always been. I'll let you know.
