But why - apart from the obvious income generation opportunity - is YM carrying a half page ad aimed at men who can't manage a stiffie?
For goodness sake - I thought it began to get a bit spurious when they started advertising waterside properties. I see the beginning of the end of my subscription looming.
 
There will be a half page add for incontinence pants next /forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif
 
Could be bloomin useful at sea. No more crossing legs when you can't really face battling down stairs and getting all the kit off. Billy Connolly had a routine about giant incontinence pants for clubbing, struck me as a good idea then.

I wondered about the article on laser eye surgery, looked like the sort of thing that is usually headed "Promotional Feature".
 
Simpler to remove one boot, place foot in the pan and go. It is essential with this method that you know which side you 'dress' or you are likely to fill the standing boot.
 
Hmm. Missed that. Is it the case that I switch off and just read the saily bitz?

Page 69. You're right. I thought it was a single page ad for Performance Cruising!

Did anybody hear Humph's crack about the Whitgift Alms Houses in Croydon on ISIHAC last night?
When they were opened in 1599 the Mayor said that they would provide food and shelter for the poor, needy and impotent. There were plenty of the poor and needy but the impotent couldn't come.

How to pea through 3 layers as requested.

There is a product called a Senslip that my company produced an AVI for the manufacturers off last year, its meant to be an artificial retractible foreskin for circumcised men, its made of Latex and apparently restores feeling in the old fellow etc, but also for the owner we did a web based survey, and lots of the users commented on how easy it was to pea through while wearing, so if you were to buy the size 10 model you could actually pea while wearing all layers without getting cold /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif
 
Perhaps one of their Marketing people read an article entitled "I'm having trouble hoisting my burgee" and thought it was a euphemism for an altogether more serious deficiency.....

More seriously, I'm guessing that the YM readership demographic overlaps with their target market - though I'd like to have been a fly on the wall when YM's Display Sales Team did their pitch /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif.

Zip it, mate!
 
Enjoyed QI the other night when Steven Fry was rattling on about the geographic distribution of surnames in the UK, and how certain names like Winterbottom, Sidebottom, Grewcock, Glasscock and Handcock were slowly disappearing.

Alan Davies perked up. "We had a boy called Jimmy Glasscock at my school. You could always see him coming."

I heard an old mariner stutter
As he drooped at the helm of his cutter:
On my transom I've wrote
So the girls can take note:
"Nerve of steel,
Will of iron,
Knob of butter!"
