Newsletter 17

Welcome to June's newsletter, Paradise people. It's sneaking in under the wire this close to July but like a touchy woman's menstrual cycle the production of the Paradise newsletter is subject to mood swings, puffiness and false alarms. But slaves as we are to the lunar cycle we arrive just in time with industry chat, discussion of bookmakers, poker and the World Cup.

Enjoy the final. We're out like Aaron Spelling.

Regards

Jamdog
