Land Rover Monthly

Just resubscribed a few weeks ago and today - in a plain, non-see-through plastic wrapper, a magazine arrived. Course I didn't realise it was LRM - as I couldn't see through the wrapper - so with care (thinking the worse, like 'someone' may have subscribed me to a 'top shelfer') I opened it...



Imagine my surprise to find it was LRM - and more, the first thing I should see on the enclosed suplement, in HUGE letters was


101

Whey-hey! A whole big suplement about 101s!



Nope - it was a suplement entitled:



"101 hints and tips toward painless purchasing"



The Teasers!



However, in the main mag is a smashing 4 page article from Sue Dixon with their 101 camper - so all if fine, but why the plain wrapper?

I've opened mine followed rapidly by my 17 month old daughter sneezing a mouthful of buttered toast, banana and the contents of both nasal cavities all over it, the table it was on, my plate of food and me.

Thanks Catrin.

One of the joys of parenthood. I've just rescued Bruce's copy from Isaac. After opening it from its protective, fairly watertight package, spilling at least half a cup of tea and the remains of several biscuits on two pages, flicking through the rest of it before rolling it up and letting the dog chew it, its in a very sorry state. I shall fetch him a replacement.

Eldest normally grabs mine saying "Look, Daddy's magazine" then going and hiding it somewhere amongst the pile of other LR assorted pictures she has. Not bad for a 3 yr old but somewhat frustrating...

I don't think Bruce has a single copy of any land rover magazine that hasn't got at least half a dozen pages stuck together, usually caused by a tea spill. Nikki

Blime thought that was a bit risque at this time in the morning....then I read the last bit

Usually....... :-)

Yeah, the pictures aren't *that* good!

You're just trying to get me to say something rude.

Well, if "usually" means "most of the time", then what are they stuck with the rest of the time? Tell the truth and we promise not to laugh.

stuck

Copaslip?

I shall leave it to your imagination.

I did stick all the pages together once with pritt stick when he pissed me off. He wasn't very amused.

Hell hath no fury like a woman with a pritt stick and PMT...

A lady friend of mine who's husband is a miner used to make his sandwiches with cheese slices but left the cellophane on them or stick bits of paper in them if she got mad with him On a couple of occasions she gave him rotten fruit it being very dark at the coal face

I wouldn't do that. Leaving the sunroof open on the car when you know its going to rain is quite good and hiding one shoe of every pair he owns has interesting results.

You haven't tried emptying his electric shaver into his underpant drawer then?

On Sun, 10 Aug 2003 15:30:35 +0000 (UTC), "Andy.Smalley" made me spill my meths by writing:

A lady I know (it's OK, she's not in the house at the moment) did some cheeseburgers under the grill with the cheese slices, and forgot to take the plastic off.

Good things, smoke alarms.

Soon after putting the house up for sale it was suggested that I finish off some of those little tasks that had been waiting a while, actually quite a long while but what's the point in rushing things. One of them was to finish a bit of repapering in the first floor landing. All was going well when off went the aforementioned smoke alarm (it's the steam you know). Well this alarm had a good feature and could be silenced for 10 mins at a time. I reached up and pressed the button and it went quiet. Then the alarm fell off the ceiling and into the bucket of wallpaper paste. Buggrit, it can stay there now.

Then it went off again and bubbled away in the wallpaper paste until I had enough and binned the lot.

Good idea, but he's got a beard.

I cut off all the buttons on all of his shirts once too and tied his boot laces together in knots. Result was plenty of shirts for rags as he went out and bought new ones and plenty of swearing because those knots were really tied tight!

I hope you replaced it. Usefull things to have if you have burnt offerings on a frequent basis. Bruce usually sets his off in the workshop once a week and that's caused by wood dust that hasn't been extraxted by the dust extractor.

I do rather suspect that this thread should be continued in alt.revenge :-)
