I've already cut out the picture of MattC and blu-tacked it onto my bedroom wall à la Smash Hits.
I haven't.  But then I never blu-tacked Smash hits to my bedroom wall either. (blutack made the paint fall off the wall).

Apparently the piccie has uses other than wallpaper - I've had an enquiry about the chainset pictured!

Slowly? I've been looking at the pic for hours and it hasn't moved..

"You could submit a nice new design for us - it's been in its present layout for a long time and could do with a make-over"

nonsense. I think it's brilliant just as it is. it looks good and tells me lots of things i want to know. it ain't broke so don't fix it.

Besides, it wouldn't be audacious if success were guaranteed.

Has it come yet?  I've had very few Pas d'Arriveés coming back to me at the "if undelivered" address.  There again, I don't know where the undelivered "if undelivered" copies go.

I did tell erm...somebody that it had arrived, and I think the postie really HAD been reading it, given that it came wrapped up in a Unison mailout bag which was also addressed to Pingu, and was sealed up with masking tape.
Postie obv decided that we wouldn't mind our Arrivee being a bit late but that we weren't going to miss a trade union newsletter.  Cheeky git ::-)

I take it from the fact that I've had a few membership renewals to process already that Arrivee 110 is now out ... checks mail box ... yes here it is.

With it you will see your Membership Renewal form.  (If you need them instructions on what to do are on page 7).  If your AUK membership expires by the end of December 2010 then we need some money from you.  The best way to proceed is to go to www.aukweb.net/renewal and follow the on-screen instructions.

Now back to Arrivee to see how many VC167 jerseys are in this one - um just the 2.

Forget picture spotting, after getting exhausted trying (and finally succeeding) to open the plastic wrapping I'm now too knackered to go out on my bike on a sunny day off work

Well done for spreading the word.  There's a PM on its way telling you how to add them.  Everything is possible

Dear Arrivee

After 5 seasons, the last 4 including SRs, PBP (alright, I didn't finish, but I was there), LEL, a couple of Easter arrows blah blah blah it was with utter delight that I found for the first time ever my picture published in your magazine, on the inside back page Mille Cymru photos.

My excitement was moderately diminished, however, by the caption 'Jamie Andrews' underneath.

I accept mistakes happen and, although it is likely to be another 5 years before I get a second picture, I could accept this if it wasn't for the three correctly captioned pictures of Jamie on page 27. I mean, come on.

I shall be considering carefully whether or not to submit my writeup of a 1300km, 19AAA GPS DIY in Scotland just in case it's attributed to Jamie and my points transferred across to him.

Probably, it's way too low a number to be John Spooners or Steve Abrahams
