As we warm up for the festive showdown, we here at Ninfo HQ just wanted to spread some seasonal silicon cheer to all our readers. Even if some twat has decided to drop more than his trousers over Iraq, we will endeavor to bring the newz that we feel is really rocking the world direct to your desktop every Friday ... now and for ever more.

Big thanks goes out to all who have contributed over the year and to our friends at NTK whom have recently taken our co-existence as the two top UK feeds of choice to heart, by priding themselves on being, “shorter, later and funnier” than us. Of course they are ... who are we to question such incestuous wit - especially when they picked up last week’s Ford spoof and made it into news themselves. Now *that’s* funny.

So, with the New Year, comes new offices, a new look, and the long awaited [highly over-due] Ninfomania web site. We know we said we’d have it ready for you by the end of the year, but as with all good things, we just want to get it right. And “alright” it’s going be.

We will be running away from this hive of humanity known as London for some “downtime” next week, so won’t be flexin’ the feed till Friday 8th 1999 ... with our predictions for the year, and seeing how many of last year’s we got wrong.

Have a safe holiday and we’ll see you on the other side.
