UFO: Object, Refuse, Rejects Abuse
Garry Bushell, Sounds, 15 May 1982
"JOIN SHOUNDS, hic, and shee the world," Big Al Lewis (Ed Rtd; now Mega-Ed) had shlurred on that historic day in 1978 when I conned him into employing me with a forged reference from the Financial Times and a wad of used oncers. He never muttered a dicky bird about joining Sounds and freezing to death.
