Several people on here are Spartacus.

Would the real Spartacus please form a queue.

I watched 'NewsWatch' on BBC to see if any fans or non fans complained about the excessive coverage of the Fake Ticketeers for so long this week.
No way. They just dealt with the excessive coverage of Johnny Depp's court case.
Although l am not interested in the case it was at least a welcome break for a day from the relentless whinging from the dipper fans and their own fans, the UK media.

Was it tedd knott or something similar that used to write in a lot to the fanzines and I think also some of the national papers. Forgive me if I have it wrong.

Just reminded me of him reading that letter.

Seem to recall Ted (possibly from Droylsden) making regular contributions to the M.E.N. and Pink.

Who the fuck still buys the Radio Times?

Can’t believe it’s even still going.

I used to hate Tuesdays and Wednesdays in my paper round days. About 50% had a Radio Times one day and TV Times the other.

What about the Christmas double issue ? Everyone in the family circling their "not to be missed" programmes - in the days before video recorders of course.

Amazing, isn't it? I read something recently — The Listener was for decades the biggest selling of the weekly magazines. I'd never have guessed it. I don't think I once thought of seriously buying it.
The coming of the internet, followed by mobile phones that put it in your hand, changed the world.
Still miss the Pink, though! Some of those match reports that had clearly been rewritten in about five minutes were a scream.

I wish I'd not started this thread.

You aren't taking it seriously.

Well I am. Stewart is an ex-neighbour from my childhood days and still lives in Crumpsall.

No Elizabeth, her friends call her Betty, but her husband calls her bet.

Well if you hadn't, @Bill Walker would have....

Also Tommy Coe of Burnage. I think they were mates.
