    MBUK & Kerrang!

    my friend had every copy of 2000AD so i didnt need to buy it!!
    i spent my money on Autocar, top gear, fourfourtwo, 90 minutes. as i got older i then “upgraded to stuff like FHM but this was very shortlived.
    i had a huge bike mag collection consisting of MBR (1st issue – 2011), MBUK (1996 – 2011), What Mountain Bike (1st issue – 2009), Mountain Bike Action (1997 – 2007) and of course Singletrack (1st issue – 2011).
    when we moved house 2 years ago my wife made me realise that there wouldnt be any space for them in the new house so i ended up binning the lot of them.
    my music mag collection mainly consisted of Knowledge and ATM magazine (both 1997 – 2010).

    i really wish i’d kept some of the more memorable ones like the 1st issues!!

    BMX Bi Weekly, 🙂 now that is niche

    Kerrang, I always remember it was a challenge to scrape the money together, but always a treat to go and collect it from the paper shop.

    Oh – and this:

    When I was about 12, I swapped a model Volvo truck; cab, trailer and containers for a copy of Private magazine. That was an addictive piece of literature….

    256kb of ram expandable to a massive 512kb. Twp floppy drives and it’s yours for $3900. Bargin.

    I’d just left school and was programming in a assembler on an 8 bit machine that allowed 32kb of addressable memory per user.

    My uncle ran a newsagent so I read loads of different stuff, none of them with the cover on mind you as he had to return them..
    I loved my dads collection of Meccano Magazine the most though.

    2000ad for me plus I loved Gamesmaster magazine, it used to have swearing in it so I thought it was the absolute pinnacle of cutting edge computer game mags.

    SWAT and a lot of already mentioned.

    Magazines pre-internet were so precious, used to read cover to cover more than once including every ad.

    Hours of fun (or frustration!) typing in code to make very little happen…! I still have my spectrum and printer!

    Climber (and Rambler) – which dates me by the title!!!

    Various motorbike mags, god knows why as motorbikes were/have been verboten in our family due to past accidents.

    Eagle. I wasn’t the biggest fan of Dan Dare but Charley’s War and Death Wish made me wait by the letter box for it every week.

    Charley’s War was actually in Battle, my dad was the artist. I loved reading the free comics he drew in when l was a kid. Tiger, Lion, Cor! Buster and Battle amongst others.He was the first artist of Roy Of Roy Of The Rovers too. He is now regarded by some as one of the best comic artists of his era. Such a shame he didn’t get any recognition in his lifetime.

    DezB I have the space spinner. I’ll post a pic tomorrow. No comic though , my mum gave them all to a scout jumble without telling me. Infact I went and thought that someone like me had the lot and had donated them!
