Today's Daily Telegraph

[8Freak8]

What can I say.

Pure dedication. I left my friend's house at 6am coz I have to catch a train at 8am, but I spotted a newsagents open and remembered today is the day of the Habbo article being published.

I bought the paper from a confused shop-owner at 6.25am, and got home and quickly read it.

The article is in the Telegraph Magazine, and supplement inside the paper. The article is mentioned on the front cover.

It starts on page 56, and Habbox (and Habbox users) are mentioned on the 4th page of the article on 2 occasions.

I'm obviously very pleased to see the site I run mentioned in a magazine with a national circulation - even if it's a very small reference! There are 4 or 5 quotes from Habbox users.

Buy it and post pictures if you can!

Must dash now, train to catch!

UPDATE:

I have the magazine, read it and uploading screenshots now.

Basic story line:
UKchaserAl (Allistar Williams) and Heidster (Heidi Foster) guide Tim Moore around the Hotel. He tells of how his son is scammed; how he asked Habbox users information ect.

Only two quotes are in it that I can see. One is (suprisingly) from me (but it was edited :@) I put 'I speny 500 quid on my home phone for creds... my parents would burn down the office if they could' but this was changed to 'I speny 500 pounds on my father's work phone for creds... my dad would burn down the office if he could'

Photo's coming in about 3 mins.

Quotes:

The security guys at main reception know the drill. Allistar Williams, the gel-haired marketing manager of Habbo UK, says as he gives me a tour of Sulake HQ. If a visitor can't see over the desk, we don't let them in. If they hold a student confrence in the Design Centre, we lock ourselves in.

Myself and Al progress away from the NSPCC Zen Garden, to the buzzing Habbo Lido. When Al (Nicknamed UKchaserAl) is spotted by some Habbos, the first 'OMG!!! YOUR MY FAV HABBO STAFF!!' floods the screen. I asked him, Is adoration a perk of the job? 'Uh, it's sort of cool'. We then progressed to a room that had 'stacked super-rares'. 'Stacking Furni is like real art, even we have no idea how some of it is done'. I was on Habbo most of Boxing Day, with a beer in my hand doing some teleporter maze a Kid had done.

We walked into a room with stacked 'thrones'. 'You're probably looking at five-and-a-half grand's worth of furni there' William murmurs as we look at the Alladins Cave. I ask how that's possible when the spending limit for each account is set at 25.00 a week. He shifsts uneasily. 'I, um, must speak to some of these guys about how they got all this stuff'.

:eusa_danc Thats all, folks! :eusa_danc
