John Peel Wiki

Changes to the look of John Peel Wiki will take place in the near future due to a new skin being rolled out over Oct/Nov across Wikia. Please see the Wikia Staff Blog for further details. On this site, the changes will affect the navigation from the left menu, as well as introduce a fixed page width with narrower content space. Please be patient while adjustments are made for the switch to the new system.

UPDATE: As the change is now in force for some users, I have switched the navigation to the simplified one for the new system. Please check Navigation in the Help section if you can't find things. I also initially made small adjustments to the front page layout, but have now reverted to the old look until all users are on the new system.

COUNTDOWN: Just a reminder for people still using Monaco that the final switch to the new skin is due on Nov. 3. After that, it will no longer be offered as an option. Sorry. Nothing to do with me.

File a

(JP: 'You'll have to forgive me if I sound a little over-excited: that's because I'm a little over-excited.')
(JP: 'I particularly care for the line, "Keep me away from the Festival." I've only once been to the Edinburgh Festival: I'm sure there are very fine things that go on there, said he evasively, but I hated it, I must admit, because everywhere you went there were dickheads dressed as jesters coming up trying to get you to go to some awful play written by a sociology lecturer from Leeds Polytechnic. They really made your life miserable: you couldn't walk about in freedom without being accosted.')
