  • Anyone want a free 12 month mag subscription?

    I’m about to subscribe, but I don’t really want the print magazine. If there’s any deserving causes (Kids MTB club? Scouts? Someone who’s had a really shitty time?) then I’m happy to have the magazines delivered direct to someone else. I don’t want the average “middle-aged whiny cockbag” (© some other random forum but with disturbing and somewhat disheartening accuracy) STW forum user who can afford an Audi and a bling FS bike to try to blag it though, have some self respect

    So, in the next hour or so, can anyone suggest a recipient?

    Just take out a digital sub, then no hard copy. If I you want to support the team more you can do it on other ways.

    Or local Urology clinic for the prostate clientele.

    Ah, a good dose of virtue signaling – just what your average middle-aged whiny cockbag would do…

    Take out a digital sub, just as much benefit to STW as paper sub.

    Donate the other £20 to a charity (don’t worry, you can come back and tell us about it) and use gift aid. Charity benefits more than from some random mag turning up.

    Win win as they say

    Is there a High-Horse Society you could send it too? We’re short of high-horse owners around here! 🙂

    I think that was said in jest…?!

    Anyroad. I’d do – and indeed, do – what ads suggested. I guerilla market my read issues.

    It was and it seems it was taken as it was intended. It was also aimed at the middle aged whiny cockbag part of the post rather than the nice gesture.

    Hi there, as a member of the High-Horse society I can tell you you’d see a lot more of us about if only we had a few stacks of magazines around to help with mounting and the occasional dismounting.

    Sir, as a founding member of the Shetland Ponies In The Distance Club, I am offended by your posts.

    nbt is married to the average, whiney, middle class, BMW driving, (no cock) old bag, so all good here.

    @nbt Having discovered the stack of ruined reading material in the “library” thanks to a slow dripping tap connection I’d like to drop any pretense of self respect and say “I’ll take it if no one has a better claim”…

    Well I think it’s a lovely thing to do.

    I’d like to nominate my mate. He’s definitely middle aged but not middle class and has had a really shitty time recently – his step daughter committed suicide a few months ago.

    I’ve been supplying him with Lego and old mags (ST and Cranked mostly) but I’m sure this would make him smile.

    Virtue signalling, whining cockbagery and high horses aside, isn’t there a tea room or break area at you place of work that you could quietly just leave them (or loudly proclaim you are donating reading material for the betterment of your coworkers)?

    The best place to spread the good word of bicycling is probably the office space of your fellow high rollers…

    This is done now – I’ve been talking to the lovely Zoe in the subs department and she will be handling the reallocation. Thanks for your suggestions and amusing repartee
