non arrive ici

Hang on!  Contrary to popular misconceptions, the Royal Mail sometimes isn't that good.  Give it a week then PM me if it still n'est pas arrive

It's cool:I'll go ride my bike while I'm waiting :)

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


I'm trying to work out if there is a third cyclist right behind you.  Perhaps that's Jamie.

I'm surprised that they mistook you for Jamie; surely all of AUK know you're actually Mrs. Hopper.

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.

I am also disturbed by this lapse in standards

I wouldn't worry about it Paul, Johnny Five's not captioned on the same page and he used to be in the movies.

Not here either  :( I'm disgusted.  >:(


This is supposed to be a long distance cycling club. I expect to see Mike, Danial, Ian or one of the other worthies riding down my road, their Carradice laden with freshly printed copies to be delivered by hand. I would, of course, offer cake and stamp their brevet de distribution. Our house is an easy day ride (only about 300km) from Mike's place.

Some are born great, some achieve greatness, and some have greatness thrust upon them. I was happy with anonymity. ;D

Verily, it is the Trojan of the magazine packaging world and goes beyond mere electronic testing.

I particularly enjoyed the complimentary double-sided C30 cassette of selected ride reports (1990 to 2008) narrated by Miriam Margoyles.

Bravo!

Just arrived!

Fought my way through the security wrapper and checked the index to see what to read first. I'd just finished my lunch so thought "Noro virus beats McNasty" on page 49 should be safe enough.

Shock horror, despite the heavy duty polythene security system my copy would seem to have been censored! Pages 9 to 16 and 47 to 56 were missing. To compensate Pages 25 to 40 were in twice. Strangely these include three photo pages. Is this a conspiracy by those who like to see their photo in the mag  :smug: or was the McNasty article too much for the printers?  :sick:
