Quite probably. Can I just buy one and you tell Dave I lost one? Nah, that'll never work.

A bumper issue or what!! Wow Dave. I'm not sure that I've got time to read all this before the next issue comes out - certainly not before it's time to leave for Villa Park.
It looks like gold-plated stuff too. Great value. Thanks muchly.

And I'd like to know what you think of this issue's layout.

I do think a free gift of a small magnifying glass or a monocle or some kind of pince-nez should have been included for the benefit of old farts like me with failing eyesight.

I'm working on the words needed to try and convince Mrs Shirt that reading the latest edition to me could prove a new and exciting form of foreplay.

In the absence of a picne-nez, one of those powerful light bulbs attached to a head band would be spiffing. Chap that came to fix my plumbing when the lights were out said that he got his from the Pound Shop.

Bastard. We've only got a Ninety-Nine Pee Shop.

Fuck it I'm going to bed.

The last 2 issues of Heroes and Villans have been really good reading material... keep up the great work!

Really good read as always. Didn't expect one to be out so soon after the first game though so missed that issue.

Always seems strange to me there's always one out so soon after the first issue and then we don't have another issue until the middle of November which I think is another four home games away after 2 in 3 home games. Surely it would make more sense to have one in October then space it out every month from then although I accept with a new manager plenty of articles to fill it with!

We always have the second of the season quickly after the first. The next one would have been for Blackpool but that's a night game

Putting Oldies' eyesight problems to one side, the H&V typeface is very small. Might it be worth considering the use of a sans serif font such as Arial? My work with partially-sighted people proved to me that the legibility of teaching materials was markedly improved by the adoption of sans serif fonts - like the ones used on this web site.

First thing I noticed was the ad for DW's new book. I did a double-take. It's clearly been *designed* and *illustrated* as well as written.

I might be able to persuade number 1 son to read it

Because a certain H&V seller wasn't at his usual post I had to purchase mine from someone else.

Well there wasn't anyone at Vienna from what I saw, so I didn't know if the same applied. Not daft at all.

Where were you? I was selling (in Mac's bus-stop) and will be at the Blackburn fixture (don't know where yet).

If you're the bloke who sells outside the Trinity road entrance then I'll probably buy off you, though I didn't go by there for Vienna, so I might just be being a bit of a thicko atm.

Do you really think I'd let 20-odd thousand potential customers gather together without getting money from them?

Post by: Legion on September 20, 2010, 08:48:12 PM
I usually sell there (and have done for quite a while), but was in Mac's bus stop for the Vienna game. Just recently, I've been demoted to the Witton Lane gates.

Yes there was a shy young man in Legion's place and when I got there he was packing away meanwhile the chap opposite him under the tree was very loud and still going strong at 2.57!!

That would be Greg. He had to leave early because it was his daughter's first match and his dad had taken her into the ground.
