I was a dandy and victor man.
We used to knack the beano and hotspur readers.

Well you where always tall enough for the top shelf.

Save Feethams campaign booklet.

I once saw someone reading the Daily Mail - honest it's true!

Phil, have you read 'How Football Explains the World' by Franklin Foer. Mostly serious but a good read.
“Presents a tour of the politics and culture of football from Milan to Tehran. This work examines the game's role in sustaining ancient hatreds and rivalries; in supporting the migration of players and the rise of the football oligarchs; and in defending the virtues and vices of old-fashioned nationalism.”
I can pass it on to you at the Orient match if you like.

Will bring the book to the Orient. Don't worry about the Hugh Cornwell book you can pass it on to any other Stranglers / Cornwell fans.
I've read and re-read Deborah Curtis's 'Touching from a Distance' an excellent read and one of my favourites in a gloom / doom laden sort of way. I bet Tony Wilson , Ian Curtis and Martin Hannett are conspiring in heaven to make the angels play 'love will tear us apart' on their harps.

i liked Viz

Thanks for the tip - I'll seek it out, I'm a long standing Vic Reeves fan.

Back to the original thread I used to like Topper but also liked the Beano, Viz and the Daily Mirror.

commando

Anyone remember Krazy comic ?
I also used to get Marvels Dracula comic too.My Nana lived on Lancaster Road & the (St Ozzies?) church on Brougham terrace looked just like Draculas castle on a dark night from her back bedroom window

'Touching from a distance' was depressing enough for one read for me.

'Me, Moir' is absolutely superb.

Comics - Beano, Eagle, Battle, Viz.

I used to subscribe to 'Accountancy Age' (at least I think that was what it was called), and read it. When I was pretending to be interested in becoming an Accountant, never made it beyond a MAAT.

Captain Hurricane in the Valiant for me!!

Nowt wrong in never getting beyond MAAT - bit worrying that you actually used to read "Accountancy Age" - all I ever read were the few cartoons & the funny article that was always in the back

Comics - Victor, Battle, Warlord (followed by Mayfair, Playboy, Fiesta etc. obviously)

I used to read it, but not sure I ever completely understood it, which explains why I only made it as far as being an 'Accounting Technician', and not making the heady heights of being a 'boring' Accountant.

It's alright mate I never got the letters - have to make do with being a "QBE" (qualified by experience) as the agencies have it

Bl**dy hell. I've been looking up to you, and you should be looking down to me.

I used to get 'Computer Weekly' it's not about anything like home computers or gaming or owt remotely interesting, it's about the world of corporate accounting. I used to get it through work.

On the back page it has quite a good pisstake IT department diary allegedly about a local authority in London, a daft column on stupid things that office workers do and a Dilbert cartoon, and it was free. That's my defence.

Beano and Sparky when I was nipper, later 'Shoot' magazine then NME and Q.

I used to be a Beano, Match and Shoot sometimes Look In

I also used to get a comic called Big or something like that, it was similiar to the Beano, Dandy etc, basically just a load of cartoon strips

Jackie was always a good pre-pubescent read as well.

Particularly the problem page, then when I discovered Dear Doctor in Womens Own........

I don't think I saw the light of day until I was 19.......

Cathy & Claire?

Oh aye. You as well??

It was probably two blokes but it was good reading at the time.

I've been in Beeston/Chilwell for the last six years, prior to that 7 years in Sherwood/Forest Fields/HysonGreen/Mapperley Park.

What about yerself?

I didn't buy it myself of course, use to read my older sisters copy.

Why is in most doctor's and dentist surgery's WOMENS OWN can be found.
