Not in this instance.
But was listening to a euphemism playing the other day.

At the risk of sounding all boring and practical (must be the manager in me), I wonder if we need to get organised if this is to happen.
Perhaps we could have a guest editor each month, who would choose the title, the articles/features, the contributors (although every effort should be made not to exclude anyone), and would endeavour to make sure it all happened.
I would be happy to be a guest editor but don't really have the time to spare until November. If it could wait till then I wouldn't mind being the first, but if someone else wants to pull something together for Sep or Oct then fine.
What do you think?

I did actually PM "Red" because there were two or three viable proposals on the table (Grumpy Farmer, Arson Around, Bi-weekly???) and just asked him to choose the one that inspired him...
...but that was August, and not much happens in August, so I thought now the kids are back at school, I'd give this another shove.
@ChrisHarrison - like the idea of a guest editor - could be a good place to park all these pastured hat-trick WoM winners.

offlineMemberHi guys and girls.
I know you haven't heard from me since my FPs back in May or whenever, I've been writing scripts and things, but I've been popping back in from time to time. Anyway, this idea actually really sparked by imagination, and I mocked up a cover, but didn't stop there and ended up mocking up a whole magazine, about a dozen pages (I have a small bit of graphic designer in me).
I did a first draft in two days or so and then mothballed it because I didn't think the humour was quite right for this site - it was quite satirical, focused mainly on the media class. Also quite surreal. But maybe I'm wrong, maybe Ed will love it.
I didn't base it around genre puns however. It's a parody of those horrible Times on Sunday and Observer Magazine things, I called it 'The Newsbiscuit Snob' 'It's so... NB!'
So with a broader remit it covers a wider variety of items, fashion advice, celebrity interviews, agony aunt, horoscopes and so on.
The cover featured the story "My Opik" - Lembit by the people who love him. And it parodied one those celebrity 'profiles'.
I'll post the mag here tomorrow if anyone is interested. It's in flash format, although could easy do a jpeg one as well/instead of.
I think I've got to tidy a few bits up and then host it somewhere, so shout if you are interested and I'll get onto it.
Jimmy.

Last issue ever
Posted 2 years ago # -
I've just stumbled across this and thought I'd bump it. Because if it's going to hit saltire's suggested publication date of November 2011 then it's going to need working on.
Plus I hoped that it might tempt thisisall1word into producing another issue of GFT...

I'll discuss it with my totally hot Japanese girlfriend Akiko while we're next soaping each other up in the shower, and get back to you with our hot lesbian thoughts on the topic of the day.
