Hey all! I think we should name the Koala Spliff. I've made him a little
DRUG FREE
"joint" out of an old "YOGMAIL" business card--I even lit it for a
couple seconds to get the proper
effect--and taped it to his mouth.
Anyway, after a long time trying, I managed to access the AEgean experience.
Not too
shabby at all, would look better with a YOGMAEL link--Look George,
I'll even change the name--but a good site all the same. A
must for the
fans, and decent for anyone with even an interest in the man's music.
Really, it is a great site, and I'm looking
forward to it getting even
better!
IMPORTANT NOTE REGARDING TIM'S WEB PAGE!!!! So says Tim:
"I have added a small
competition on my WEB page especially
for the people in the US since Older has not been released there :-( .
For the next 2
weeks I will be giving away a copy of the Older EP every
week. What you have to do is to be the first to identify the 6 George
Michael
songs in the sound clip. Email me at alhatu-at-ozemail.com.au if you know
the answer. I will announce the results as soon as
there is a winner.
Cheers and Good Luck
P.S. This week's hasn't been won yet and there are 2 more clips to go. One
every
Sunday.
Tim"
AND AWAY WE GO...

Dear Amanda and Yogtribe,
The 10th
of February launch of Ægean web page answered number of questions:
Would Ægean's site be as good as it deserves to be?
Well,
the answer is definitely YES. the new Ægean web page is just great
(just like the other GM web pages). The design is just great,
and it is
very informative.
Would YOGMÆL become obsolete?
The answer is definitely NOT, thanks God! Quite on the
contrary - we are
gonna have just one more great source of info for our YOGMÆL discussions.
I strongly believe that Ægean
web page perfectly compliments other GM
related material, and it just doesn't get any better than that. And this
very fact is
only a testimony that the Man himself must visit other sites
(including YOGMÆL archives) on a regular basis. Therefore: Hi
George! :-)
(I just couldn't resist writing this).
Amanda, thanks again for all your hard work. Any plans for YOGMÆL #500?
(Yes,
I've got 400 issues to convince Mr. Michael he should grant me an
interview... AG)
George
***************************
NEW
CONTEST COMING SOON!!!
OK YOG Crew, YM's second fave George--George Bielinski--has kindly offered to
sponsor our next
contest. This one is a purely objective Georgely knowledge
test... The contest will run in issue #100, and just so I know you're
doing
your test without too much cheating, I expect answers within 24 hours! That
basically means, STUDY NOW!!! From the
official send time of issue
100--sometime Thursday evening--you have 24 hours to submit. Yes, this will
screw some
people--those that don't read immediately--out of having a chance,
but will reward the diehards. SO what's up for grabs? A Wham!
12" remixes
CD. Look for the contest to lead off issue 100.

Hey,
just checked out the new Aegean website.
It's pretty cool. I love the
history section with the different pictures of George. He was a cute little
boy. If you haven't
had a chance to check it out, do it.

Hi
Amanda,
This is my first time writing to Yogmael -- and let me echo all the others by
telling you what a terrific job you're
doing. I really enjoy it.
Anyway, I've just taken my first look at the Aegean site -- and I nearly
passed out when of
George is greatly appreciated and I personally don't
want them to stop bringing joy and happiness to George fans around the
world....
As
good as Aegean might be or can be, it could never take the place of Yog
Mail.....and as soon as I figure out how to e-mail George
through the site,
I'm gonna mention your hard work to him.... : )
(I'm blushing...as always, thanks Mark! AG)
The URL
at EQS, for those of you interested in purchasing the 'Older' single
and 80 page photo book, is: http://www.eqsmusic.com/
I
apologize for the mistake, I don't know if EQS changed their address or
not, but this one works....sorry Lisa Marie
Although
it's not typical yog mail, I would like to thank my wife Lisa for
understanding my interest in George's music...although she
likes George's
music, she's not as fanatical as I.....and to all those wonderful
spouses/girlfriends/boyfriends who have to
put up with the other interests,
thank you....
(Yes, one of the most frequently written introductory personal notes
includes
a reference to a long suffering significant other... THANK YOU TO ALL THE
SPOUSES and especially to the wives and
girlfriends for letting me steal
their man's attention for a couple minutes each day... AG)
take care
Mark

CANNES, France, Feb 9 (Reuter) - International show
business stars are making guest appearances at the MILIA multimedia trade
show,
trying to cash in on opportunities offered by the Internet and CD-ROM
computer discs.
With an installed base of more than
100 million computers with a CD-ROM
drive and an explosive growth of connections to the Internet, the big names
of more
traditional media sectors such as music or film are showing keen
interest.
The French Mediterreanean beach resort of Cannes
is accustomed to regular
line-ups of limousines and celebrities during its annual film festival.
But the annual MILIA has
until now been an event only for egghead
software engineers and visionary -- but virtually unknown -- businessmen.
Dutch
model Karen Mulder and an extravagantly dressed porn game starlett
named Kikki were the only two to turn heads at MILIA 1996. But
times are
changing.
Actor and director Kenneth Branagh is set to unveil a CD-ROM on the
Shakespeare play
"Hamlet" on Sunday on the first official day of the four-day
MILIA, taking the Bard into the third milennium.

told me the whole story over a couple of drinks the other night. This
individual was Pepsi's boyfriend for

checked him out and his name does appear in the thank-yous on the Pepsi &

(Beetroot or something) when George and Andrew were starting out
(and even
before that at the time of Exectutive). Because of them being so called
broke & on the dole etc. He used to give
George and his friends free

Hi Amanda,
There is a picture of it in an old copy of Smash Hits, or at least a
pic of a copy of it from
something like 1984, and it doesn't have the
time of birth on it! I think English birth certificates at that time
didn't need
to have time of birth on them, though I might be wrong.
but our long form contains birthtime I believe, I was just hoping the UK
might be the same... And as we saw above,
indeed, we're out of luck. AG)
incredible info service?
Maybe they would send you info or promotional
stuff or something?
Maybe one of these days, but I think I may just wait a while and go straight
to the top--meaning AEgean.

Hi
Amanda, As a new member to YOGMAIL, I 'd like to congratulate you on the
fantastic job you are doing! I also have a stupid
question to ask, since I am
new here, I really don't know what YOG stands for?
YOG is George's nickname. A shortform of his Greek name, which is pronounced
Yorgos, Andy
picked up on it while hanging 'round the Panayiotou household,
and the rest is history AG)

would love to catch up on happenings since 1989

To Wrap it Up:
request to complete a survey on "Democracy and the

and I would really
appreciate it if those of you who do receive it could
please take the time and complete it. It's all multiple choice and
shouldn't
take more than 5 to 10 minutes to complete. My thanks in advance for helping
me further my academic career.
