Hello, it's Matthew Parker here, and I'm guest editing this month's All The 
Rage. Leila Johnston's actually doing most of the hard work, like designing 
the thing; really all I've done is emailed a couple of people to try to get 
them to contribute, and done a spot of proof-reading -- if there are any 
mistakes that slipped through the net (or if I thought I was correcting 
something but actually un-correcting it) then I apologise.

The theme is AGE & MATURITY, because I got to choose the theme.

This month's treats include: 

* The Independent's Rhodri Marsden on how he celebrated some of his most 
  significant birthdays

* Comedian Paul Kerensa on the ravaging effects of aging

* Writer Tania Ahsan on why she wants to become a witch

* A competition to win a copy of the first Madonna album (on vinyl -- it 
  will make your friends think you're cooler than if you just own it on CD)

Hopefully Leila will link you to the magazine now -- I don't know what the 
link is yet, so I can't tell you. 

Thanks,

Matt

most of all to the boy wonder MATT PARKER for his superb guest editing 
skillz...I think this is the best issue in ages! -- Leila
