    Just a thought, is it too early into 2011 to nominate this for ‘Thread of the year’?

    (edit- yay I made it to the top of a page!!)

    Mark will fax you the letter latter i got back

    Theres and idea, if Lazyo wants a paper copy of issue 62 that badly maybe each page and all subsequent issues could be faxed to him 😀

    some excellent put downs really made me smile
    STW have been fairly restrained on here for being called thiefs by someone who accpets it is not thier fault
    OP yes you have a point but it has been made very badly. It is not like stw did nothing or mark has all the mags and just cant be bothered to post them out – see Mint sauce thread- so really what do you want them to do in this situation? Seriously what ? hand deliver them? They are trying thier best and the fact tjey respons and allow debates like this is one o the best things about this forum.
    It seems odd that you got upset about one late issue and your response was to never have any more. If your tea is late do you give up food?

    I commute on a regular basis, and I’ve seen many a berk shouting at a train guard because of a signal failure 20 miles away.

    Some people just have no concept of reality when they’re angry and will shout at whoeever is nearest or contactable.

    Actually, one of the Christmas presents my wife ordered for me has only just turned up…does anyone know if WHSmiths do DIY divorce proceedings?

    I am curious as to what the OP does for a living to have such a strong reaction to something so trivial, there’s such a loss of perspective it’s depressing. There is so much in the world to get angry and embittered about, a 4 quid magazine isnt one of them.

    I dont know if the OP or anyone else on this thread subscribes to Spokeshirt’s friday emails, but having simultaneously flitted between this thread and Spoke’s post about what his third daughter went through the contrast is jarring.

    This is utter genius. I think you’re all missing the point a bit though with your various apportioning of blame. Let’s point the finger at the man responsible for all the countries ills

    I blame Nick Clegg 🙂

    Doh!!! How could we all be so stupid???

    I know why all the subs copies went missing or were late and where they are….

    It was right in front of us all this time, they tried to break/hack the site last year and failed (kinda) so this time they decided to steal all the subs copies….

    The forum that dare not speak it’s name!!!

    I just wonder what they have planned for Crimbo next time, pinching all the bulbs from our Christmas tree lights?

    Its all down to the symbolic meaning of number 62 and numerology…..

    62 – Financial and emotional problems are possible. Partnerships are not recommended.

    Bodes well for next month guys….

    63 – This is a lucky number. These people are artistic and talented for literature.

    Even worse…pinch just one and replace it with a broken one…we’ll spend most of December trying to work out which one to replace.

    I am curious as to what the OP does for a living

    I think he must write for “The Daily Mail”

    I tend to agree with the op

    ST sponsored our event, we gave advertising as agreed they failed to send the prizes. They’re crap IMO.

    I do not agree with the OP. ST sponsored the Bullheart JOGLE, and went above and beyond to provide us with things to ease the 996 miles. In fact, chances are we probably failed them regarding advertising, despite their logo being plastered over the vans we used as support vehicles. I spoke to Mark and Tom db, and they were very supportive.

    OP – get a grip. If worrying about a late magazine gets you this wound up, how do you reckon you’ll cope when someone gives you some really bad news? Like incurable cancer, perhaps?

    Muppet.

    Having just read through this thread I wanted to add something useful, but all I can think of is What a tool 😯

    I reckon my issue 62 has eloped with my delivery from CRC. Neither of them have turned up, so Its the only logical conclusion to reach.

    Well… about as logical as Lazlo’s accusations anyway

    anyone in the coventry/warwickshire area this might explain the problem;

    http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-coventry-warwickshire-12136870

    There are believed to be tens of thousands of items undelivered in the Stratford area following changes to working practices.

    how have i missed this thread?!

    I think I came late and missed the initial excitement.

    I’m not sure who to blame for the late arrival of this thread to my attention.

    So, after reading this im thinking Lazlo, get a life. I’ve had issue 62 for about a week and still to read it. Is it any good? Has anyone actually read it?

    lazlo53 had the same rant in the run up to xmas – i can’t access the past thread now but the conclusion was – the weather was delaying the post, and the RM was swamped with deliveries, its only a FREAKING magazine so stop crying…

    looks like nothing changed, so here is your teddy back again

    Mine arrived this morning, scared to read it as it has now reached such epic levels of anticipation, it cannot possibly meet expectation. 😯

    I may keep it in the wrapper and sell some years in the future in an add simply titled “FS: 62” 😀
