As an aside, are there any local restrictions on mags such as Streetfighters, 100% Biker etc, what with the scantily-clad females in 'em? Don't want to drop anyone in it.

Re: Our TROOPS in afghan want/need our old bike mags

she that must be obeyed has been dripping on about all my old bike mags cluttering up the house, "I can't just throw them out" I told her, "they'll come in useful".
Waddya know, a worthier cause I can't think of, 50 plus Back Street Heroes mags winging their way out to the lads, enjoy them !

That's no good for me then

Printed off a load of address labels & will post at just under 2 kg packs
I have a lot of "The Classic Motorcycle" from the 80s that make interesting reading (especially the prices ) and will post them from tomorrow.

Think Mrs T meant The London Rubber Company who I think years ago did have an outlet in St Albans?

"Durability, Reliability, and Excellence"

Not Belpar.

Shifty,
having not long come back from there I can say that there is no problem as you can get the likes of NUTS mag etc out there in the shop at Bastion. It's the lads out on the FOB's and PB's that don't have access to this facility on a regular basis that I would think these mags will go to as even we couldn't get anything other than PB and MCN. The request is for Lash so they will be well recieved.

Hope that helps

Panda
