just had an email to advise me that the 2nd issue is immanent. I hope it's improved...
I only just remembered to cancel my direct debit the other week
What on Earth are you talking about Simon? Is this some kind of Scatological Periodical? 😯
Takes all sorts I spose. Not healthy or hygienic though. No wonder you've got Bottom Worms. 🙁
details ...sounds interesting 😯
No wonder you've got Bottom Worms
that was last week, now I have leprosy for a change 🙁 Next week I'm going for scurvy...
[edit: the official name is "Privateer" but sadly it's nothing to do with privates 🙁 ]
simon, hijack, did you send that book?
I hope it's improved...
I hope it's improved too but I'll be happy if it's as good as the first issue!
...and that the spelling is better than yours.simonfbarnes - Member

what did I spell wrong ?
I woon't worry. Onion has obviously contracted your last week's parasitic infestation.
Has the itching stopped?
You mussunt scratch, as this helps to spread the eggs.

actually it hasn't [b]started[/b] yet, but we all enjoy a good riff innit ??
simon, book?????
First one was brilliant I don't know what you're on about 🙄
Tony, it'll be shipped to you direct as soon as it's published, due Mar 15 🙂 If you like it drop a tenner into a mountain rescue collection box.

simon, thanks very much mate.
I got that email - I don't remember #1
what is it?
actually it hasn't started yet, but we all enjoy a good riff innit ??
You [i]disgust[/i] me. 😀
what is it?
it purports to be a quality magazine about mountain biking. Issue #1 smelled revolting though I got used to it after time, but I still found the contents quite unpalatable, though nearly everyone else told me I was totally wrong and it was wonderful 🙂
You disgust me
you're just in denial :o)
Well, my issue 2 has just arrived. I wouldn't necessarily describe the smell as revolting, but equally I wouldn't want to be stuck in a confined space with it for an extended period.
Clearly I haven't looked at the content; I just buy magazines for the aroma... 😀
My No 2 has arrived and just remembered I haven't started No 1 yet!
Here too a click flick and it's lovely as the last one, something to read later with a wee drink.

But surely, it is the most confined space in the house that most of us spend extended periods with our (bike) mags 😉
I love the smell. Rouleur is the same.
*gives pages a riffle*
Mine arrived today,will have a look later
got mine today, nice pics and a good feature on the history of ti, with some good bits from the big US names. why that guy who did the tv/book thing about building his dream(road)bike has a page, im not sure. tbh ive had more fun on the toilet of late with issues 1-55 of singletrack. im passing them on but have really enjoyed the early mags.
Eeeeek! It seems I forgot to cancel the DD! Issue #2 lives up to its malodorous name, but perhaps the content will make up for it ?
Mine arrived today
As Tang says, but content thin otherwise. Don't think I'll be going on with them
Issue 1 was OK and it was good loo reading - good Gary Fisher feature and his San Francisco hippy bike youth beginnings
just finished mine, some good but mostly not. i dont dig this attempt to mythologize the past. in any given year in mtb history are we not just doing our thing? why i like the early singletracks, bit more fun and real. tbh, photos aside, the singular ad and the IF ad inspired me more, as in; 'thats a nice bike, i like mine so im going for a ride'
I'm still reserving my judgement, but I complained about history last time, and now they've dug into geological ages...
Simonb if you don't want it i'll have for thr cost of the postage:-)
Simonb if you don't want it i'll have for thr cost of the postage
be serious, it cost me about £10 🙁
Well you're just silly.
How's your bottom worms this week Simon? 😐
[url= http://www.singletrackworld.com/forum/topic/who-was-it-that-thought-they-had-bedbugs ]Someone was asking about your infestation earlier.[/url]
Well thats not my fault, you're the one moaning about how crap it is and its stinking your house out. I'm doing you a favour.
FM, theres no pleasing some people! ("thats just what Jesus said, sir!")
A fool and his money is worth two in the bush, after its bolted.
How's your bottom worms this week Simon?
peachy Aziz, and also the rash has gone now thanks 🙂
you're the one moaning about how crap
no, I haven't reached that stage yet, but I've only read a few pages and am hoping they will have dragged themselves into the present day...
peachy Aziz, and also the rash has gone now thanks
This is [i]excellent[/i] news. I have been quite worried. 😯
Hmmm, getting back from my bottom the Poovateer II. The historical bias is still heavily evident, in fact, I've given it the alternative titles "Living in the past" or "The American Dream", as a lot of the content is US based. My heart did give a little jump when I read "2010", but that was only to lead to about 10 pages of why some blokes I never heard of invented freeriding leaving us eternally in their debt...
