The strangeness that is WHSmith

Just been into town to get this weeks prog. BUT it wasn't there although they did have the Meg, and peversely enough still have prog 2003. Anyone else experiencing this bizzare occurence?

My Smiths here in Ashford; Kent, only occasionally has the prog. The last one I saw in there, and it sat for a number of weeks, was the one with the green turtle thing on the cover from last year.
Prog 2002 sat there for ages too, as it has in many other news-agents in my neck of the woods.

Many moons ago BB, (Before Bairns) my then local newsagent used to tuck my Zoooad inside my newspaper, like it was topshelf stuff, and give me a sly wink and say 'Thanks Mr P'.

Strange, but true...

Mr P

"Zoooad"

Hmmm! Animal porn, no wonder they tucked it in a newspaper Mr P :)

Was there a monthly reprint mag of that? "The Bestiality Of..."?

Smiths have one narly old prog, shoved at the back of all the dodgy mags. Says a lot to potential Squaxx, wouldn't you say?

one by me (merry hill) always has stacks and seem to sell load, must admit a bit funny grown men taking it off the shelf like its a porn mag so that no one sees them

Andy Diggle · 13 February, 2003, 05:20:45 AM

I was gonna say, that's Trough innit? What the hell, someone's nicked my icon too.

You try and be original, mutter grumble...

Demon Chicken · 13 February, 2003, 05:36:10 AM

sorry Andy, but it was the first icon I saw at the time. No offence mate.

karne · 13 February, 2003, 05:40:54 AM

Icon pinching shenanigans going on and no one thought to invite me? Where has the sense of community gone from this board?

Demon Chicken · 13 February, 2003, 05:51:48 AM

Does Karne now feel part of this dastardly plan?

LARF · 13 February, 2003, 06:54:01 AM

Can I offer an icon design service? Tell me what you want and I may be able to deliver subject to certain restrictions or whatever, adding your name to my convention beer list...

On another note, any one ever bought SFX magazine and blushed when they cover up the bottom of the F to make it look like SEX.

It's hard being a geek...

karne · 13 February, 2003, 02:51:35 PM

Unknowingly, Demon_Chicken had become another statistic in Karne's dastardly plan to swamp the board with Blue Meanies...

sadly it will take more then your puny attempts at board domination to wipe out the dance troup that is devons daddy
we are nocturnal. and able to talk drivel with the finest on this board.
