Title: a joke
Post by: saltbeef on December 17, 2004, 10:30:59 am: now i've just flicked through high in the union shop, and apparently jude calvert toulmin is the editor of blocsport, and she's going to explore whether women should be allowed to climb topless... fucking desperate.

Post by: dave on December 17, 2004, 10:38:04 am: she should explore wether she can climb with a crowbar through her face.

Yeah, me too. After the first couple of 'Oh Jesus, man!!'s from my spotters I normally put my shirt back on.

Post by: Jim on December 20, 2004, 06:46:36 am: I normally get "look at the size of that belly" or "there's that fat guy I was telling you about"

From what i can gather from my 30 second browse in WHS, it is mentioned in the "forthcoming "attractions"" (and I use the word loosely), so i assume she is onboard for issue one. Talk about killing it before it's born.

Post by: Johnny Brown on December 20, 2004, 09:53:33 am: I took it to be a joke - i.e. its the last issue so they can write any bollox they want in the 'next issue section.
Birtles has previous on this - High used to be about 30% 'funnies' in the early nineties. Some of it was even funny. And there was the recent issue with the sole cover headlines "killer cat at gogarth/ dog dies on everest"
Title: a joke
Post by: dave on December 20, 2004, 09:58:30 am: I bet if they lead with the headline "crappy female sheffield hanger-on egosmith dies in freak board-with-a-nail-in-it attack" they would really clean up.
