New IPC Magazine coming out soon!

[Sgeir]

What Thread magazine.

Incidentally, I see they have a very high-minded mag called "Nuts" which uses the slogan "Nuts - Grab yours every week". I haven't yet checked to see whether they have a Forum.

Also, are there any readers here of Wallpaper* - The authority on international design and essential guide to modern living

Must admit I'm a big nut snatcher masell, plonk it in, grab it, then have a wee rest .. is that entirely ethical?

"Also, are there any readers here of Wallpaper"

I have been known to partake, but it's not a habit.

 

[snooks]

YM were thinking about going down the same road as Nuts...

It would boost issue sales, after all Nuts is one of the biggest selling Mags IPC do! A scary thought I think you'll agree...But instead we prefer older ladies with a little more canvas!!

Re: hm.

yeah, but still with the crappy olde "What sort of Aarvark can you get for under £20,000?" articles, it seems?.

 

[ShipsWoofy]

Love it!

Complaint to editor

Dunno why they've gone and put that manky auld Gyspy Moff on the cover when a shot of a Benjenbav 38 sitting in a Solent marina would have been so much more relevant to what their readers are actually sailing.

BTW, looks like that young lady could do with reeving a couple of topping lifts.

Re: Wallpaper mag

I find it very difficult to line up the pages properly.

 

[tcm]

Re: Wallpaper mag

yes, and the articles to cut out are a bit repetitive after the first hundred or so issues...

Re: Wallpaper mag

I think you'll find there is a pattern to them.

 

[Lakesailor]

How did you get the small insets to stay there? When I used to be a sleazy photographer I always found the models yelled a lot if I used a staple gun.

 

[tcm]

no, she's actually wearing the latest soon-to-be-launched Musto thermals. It's going to be great! Imagine the boat shows!

Re: Complaint to editor

Dear Teaky,
I've read your snide post and here at Aardvaark Monthly we're not biting. I'm afraid this isn't the sort of magazine which will pay top dollar for a lot of old twaddle from you about BenJenBavs. You will have to fund your contribution to the teak trade via some other source.

ps pls find encl your article 'Why Twisters are the best boat ever, especially when never sailed further than the Needles'. We're inundated, old bean. No can publish. Why not try Ardvaarks Today?

Prize-winning* investigative journalist responds

So my exclusive on how the Aardvaark was designed by Jean-Paul Beret-Basque who broke into Holman & Pye's office and copied the Twister drawings by photographing them with a minature camera isn't of interest?

No, I don't suppose it would be for the dedicated Aaardvaaark Owners' Aaassociaaation members who are your hard-core readership. After all, they wouldn't want to be told that the bulge on the Aaaaardvaaaark's port quarter is only there because he got his thumb over the lens.

Re: Prize-winning* investigative journalist responds

You writers. I find you somehow ... desperate. Attention seekers. I'm off now into my big office where I will ask my secretary to take something down. Hor hor. You can't imagine what it's like to be a big success in the world of letters, like what I am.
