One of which (guess which one!) was decidedly pregnant....

Hm, some of our own Members actually bought items from them. Most noticably GoldEd for £20.
If you read the latest magazine (I didnt get sent last months, or this one) you will notice that Stephen has had a BIG dressing down!! There will be no more swearing, belittling or company bashing, at the insistance of their advertisers..
(well done the companies who made him stop!)

I notice they still dont acnolidge AA's exsistance. The interview with Hyperion still claims The Pulse as the ONly UK mag..... hmmm.

Yes, funny that.....

("Should you need us." "Yes. Should you need us...." "But I DO need you guys...." "Well, why didnt you SAY so.....")
