what is the crack with the obtuse messages on the spine of ST Magazine?

Latest edition is particularly worrying 🙂

*guessing this must have been covered before but can’t find it on a search and have only been on here for 18 months or so.

Often they’re lines that someone in STW has come out with, usually alcohol is involved so they can be obscure.

I’m guessing that it might be from the “guilty musical pleasures” thread from on here recently …

Ah yes or that they sometimes picked up from here too.

They’re just copying Dirt Rag…

Years ago on Twitter they were asking for suggestions (deadline time I guess). I won and got the punch line to a very childish joke published on the spine.

“You slap his face, I’ll pinch his cigar”

Didn’t MBUK used to do this back in the day as well?

Riksbar, i was just remembering the very same, and yes they did. I think Q had one too, but theirs was a sort of riddle you could solve, write in and get some extra geek points for.
