The Hydra Files

In 1995 one man started writing articles for a sixth form college magazine called Hydra. That man was Steven Jackson.

And he persuaded someone else to start writing too. And lo, that second man did write and write, even when Steven had stopped.

That man was Andrew Bowden. And these are his files.

Warning!

If you don't like bad grammer, sarcasm, the odd pilfered gag, incomprehensible in jokes, an arrogance that everyone knows exactly what you're talking about all the time AND multiple explantion marks, The Hydra Files are not for you.

Why not go somewhere else? The Disney site or CBeebies perhaps?
