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.

    • If you can use it exclusively for yourself for 12 years it might become yours by default under squatters rights? Maybe whack a bench on it and plant some flowers and then a little hedge around the perimeter to keep people out? I'm not sure if any of this is legal but it might be fun finding out?

    • Dear all, Bit of a random ask but in such a supportive and accepting community, I thought I'd see if anyone had time to help 🙂 I'm conducting research for my MSc Psychology dissertation, using a brief anonymous survey to explore romantic and polyamorous relationships and how/if attitudes around this interact with factors such a family history and family making. The survey should take no longer than 10-15 mins and has been approved by the University of Roehampton. I'm hoping to circulate the survey widely enough that the data gathered is representational of the diversity in modern society across various aspects that constitutes personal identity. Some of the questions are of a personal nature and others could be considered a bit 'spicy', but just to reiterate, this is an anonymous survey.
