Pages 9 to 16 and 47 to 56 were missing. To compensate Pages 25 to 40 were in twice.

Whoever, you are, if you PM me your name and Membership number I'll send you a proper version.

The polythene bag is much thicker than normal. Interesting...

Well I'm not sure about your copy, but mine came in a really useful helmet rain-cover.

Verily, it is the Trojan of the magazine packaging world


Strangely enough, in 60s America, there was a condom called Trojan. It was known for its robust construction.

I don't think that gerald was suggesting that the magazine wrapper was horse shaped in order to appear as a trophy of victory from wich the greek army would emerge at night and unfettle his neat collection of brevet cards.

Mine's here - or bits of it are. It's been put together in a crazy fashion so some pages are missing and some repeat several times. I opened it after a few glasses of wine and decided I needed a cup of coffee...

"Oi postie, giz back ma Arrivee, ya git"
Do not clench. It only makes it worse.

Of course the british Dreadnought was a real battleship of a condom.

I canna understand why Eck and the Pingus in the frozen North have received their Arrivees and mine is lost in the system somewhere even tho' I'm right in the centre of Scotland.

There is something not quite right about coveting your Arrivee to that degree :D

I heard that the Trojan had to go through quite a number of hoops before being passed.

Got mine yesterday. 

I also received the version that appears to have been assembled by somebody wearing boxing gloves AKA "Arrivee - The Groundhog Day edition".

Maybe this is intended to be like those football card swap games - you have to bring your copy of Arrivee to the AGM or your next rides, and see if you can swap your duplicate pages with other people until you end up with a complete copy  :)

(still waiting for mine, but the postman hasn't been yet today).

I have a perfect edition, in mint condition.  :smug:
