You know the one with Mohamed Fayed on the cover.I bought it last week and haven't even opened it yet. I've searched high and low for it with no luck.

Can any one suggest what might have happened to it and suggest somewhere new I could look.

Or should I just go and buy another copy. Of course you know what'll happen then, don't you?


It's a real puzzler.


(In case any one 's thinking of suggesting the magazine rack in the dunny, don't bother, I checked there)

Thanks KK, I had checked under there but had been a little tentative. When I went at it with a will I didn't find the mag in question but DID discover a Lloyd Cole & The Commotions CD that I'd given up for dead.

So thanks again for the advice.


I'm playing 'Perfect Skin' and I'm dedicating it to you.

Thanks for the kind offer MP but I won't be along, and also I've made a decision this year to start collecting PE so it wouldn't be appropriate to have one in anything less than semi-pristine condition.

Hang on I think I see what you did there MP, it's a clue isn't it?


Cross word? Ain't virgin?


The answer's f*ck, isn't it?

HonaloochieB,


I looked high and low for your copy of Private Eye and had no luck, however I did find this example of both young and old coming to together in harmony, perhaps embarking on their own special voyage of discovery -

At least it may provide some consolation, if not I suggest you try looking in Neasden or maybe Lymeswold?

Incantatus, thanks for providing vital evidence. I'm sure the man on the left was in the vicinity, on or around the time my copy of PE went missing. I overheard him in conversation with some cronies and it was apparent that he has had an interest in other people's publications for a number of years. I gave it no thought at the time but know I see there may be a sinister plot unravelling. He is obviously disguising himself with the cap. At the time I saw him he had a distintive 'Brillopad' hairstyle and was wearing what can only be described as a mid-eighties power-suit more double-breasted than his lithe companion.


This just gets murkier as it goes along.


I think Inspector Knacker may need to be informed.

Bleedin' hell - it shows what the world's coming to when even a traitorous rag like Private Eye gets knicked in East Dulwich, I had that Peter Cook in the back of my cab once and, although he liked the sauce a bit too much, he was a gent, not like that poison little midget Hislop, hangins too good for him the pompuos little prick etc

Classic! That's the funniest thing I've read all week ...

Thanks to everyone for the help and advice.


I have decided to bite the bullet and just go and buy another copy of Private Eye.

I do this in the knowledge that the SAME COPY will be waiting around my gaff, probably in a place I've looked before and will be found. Most likely by me. And I will have the sound DUH DUH DUUUUUH!!! go off in my head as I pick it up.


At the time I made the second donation to Lord Gnome I bought a couple of Lotto Lucky Dips. Maybe there'll be some kind of karmic payback on the part of the universe.


Or maybe the universe'll continue to be the bastard it's always been.


I'll let you know.

    • Every year they ask for more and every year it is an exhausting process pushing back on that for local residents and councillors. What annoys me is that at the post event consultation/ feedback this year, I specifically asked them if the rumours around applying for two weekends next year were true. They told me no. So that was a lie. Anyway, we go again.

    • Rant ahead: You're not one of them but unfortunately, there's a substrate of posters here that do very little except moan and come up with weird conspiracy theories. They're immediately highly critical of just about any change, and their initial assumption is that everyone else is a total fucking contemptible idiot. For example: don't you think that the people who run the libraries will have considered the impact of timing of reconstruction on library users? (In fact, we know they have - because they've made arrangements at other libraries to attempt to mitigate the disruption). After all, these are the people that spend their whole working week thinking about libraries and dealing with library users (and the kids especially). You don't go into the library game for the chicks and fame - so it's fair to assume that librarians are committed to public service and public access to libraries, including by kids. Likewise the built environment people (engineers, architects, construction managers, project managers, construction contractors, subcontractors or whoever is on this job) are told to minimise disruption on every job they do. The thing that occurs to us as amateurs within 30 seconds of us seeing something is probably not something a full time professional hasn't thought about! Southwark Council, the NHS, TfL, Dulwich Estate, Thames Water, Openreach - they're not SPECTRE factories filled with malevolent chaosmongers trying to persecute anyone. They're mostly filled with people who understand their job and try to do their best with what they've been given - just like all of us. Nobody is perfect or immune from challenge, and that's fair enough, but why not at least start from the assumption that there's a good reason why things have been done the way they have? Any normal person would be pleased that their busy, pretty, lively local library is getting refurbished, and will have more space and facilities for kids and teens, and will be more efficient to run and warmer in winter. But no, EDT_Forumite_752 had kids who did an exam 20 years ago, and this makes them an expert on library refurbishment who can see it's all just stuff and nonsense for the green agenda and why can't it all be put off... 😡😡😡
    • I completely misread the previous post, sorry. For some reason I thought the mini cooper was also a police vehicle, DUH.
