Coarse Fisherman Magazine - RIP

[captain carrott]

even if you had no idea who they were talking about (as i didn't) snide rumours was still damned funny.

 

[Graham Marsden]

The author of Snide Rumours was not one person, it was a bunch of us making contributions - yes, including me. And like some of the others I used to send in some really cutting and insulting stories about myself (based on truth though!). It was the most popular feature in the magazine, but the trouble was, there were a (very) few people who didn't see the funny side of it and started taking it all seriously and made complaints about it to solicitors, etc. That's why it stopped and why there has been nothing like it since.

It's the PC world we live in I'm afraid.

I think Crucian must be in a minority of one, whenever fishing mags are brought up in forums (including this one) they all hark back to the wonderful David Hall's CF. To say it had no fishing content is a nonsense, of course it did and yes it had "snide rumours" that was one of the most popular parts of it but it was just a page nothing more. Would that modern magazines were even half as good as the old CF I still think fondly of it even now.

I wonder what will happen to Stu, "Matchfishing" mag perhaps or has Dave Harrell got that sewn up. I hope he still attends Clattercote, oy! Stu mate don't forget us eh!

That reminds me of the time when Walker and Bucknall used to slag each other off in various magazines. Some of the readers got really uptight about what they used to say. Little did they know that it was all pre-arranged between the two of them.

I didn't know Roy Walker, the popular Irish comic, and Barry Bucknall, the early TV DIY expert, were acquainted.

That's what I love about FM...you learn something new every day.

Shame - but isnt it sort of inevitable? Lets face it, the internet has and will continue to drive people away from hard copy, and the younger ages will continue that move.

Personally I still like a good magazine D) and CF was always the one I got, but I have to say that after a while I felt I was just re-reading the same stuff, and that I could get more or less everything I wanted from here......

 

[Rodney Wrestt]

A bit like this forum then...:wh

What's that supposed to mean? I don't get it..... are you one of 'em cliques I've read about?

Of course Graham Tim Paisley started a similar column in Carp World

An excellent mag was CF in the DH daze, plenty of good stuff in there, not forgetting the great Chris Binyon and the Lucio Specimen group, along with Barrie the Hat, classic stuff

Genuine quote from Snide Rumours and Dirty Lies, CF September 1978:

"Eddie Bibby recently had his hair cut in an Afro style, the very next day he caught his first bream of the season...could this be the new method..."

Hahahaha ..... Here's the 'rumoured' Afro style .....

Don't know why the picture won't come up ......( It's in the gallery on here )

 

[The Monk]

bludi ell Ed, frightened the **** out of me, lol

 

[ED (The ORIGINAL and REAL one)]

What did ??


The picture won't open up for me ...........

 

[Paul H]

Me neither.

Which gallery is it in Ed?

 

[captain carrott]

nope the pic wasn't working yesterday an it still aint now. fun innit

 

[Graham Whatmore]

I have noticed this problem of piccies not showing on the posts, isn't it about time the techies enlightened us as to why? It used to be such a simple procedure too hey ho!

Mind you in Ed's case they are probably thinking of the impact the photo would have on the general public :wh

 

[ED (The ORIGINAL and REAL one)]

Me neither.

My FM one ......

I don't have any other one -- ALL my pics are on there

I don't want to sign up for any of these 'Facebook/Photobucket' type things where you have to share your pictures with all and sundry and have people you've never heard of wanting you to be their friend and join all kinds of stupid things
I joined Facebook when FM was going to close --and just found it to be the most stupid,annoying thing with people (complete strangers) sending loads of daft things all the time

Not sure how to break this to you Ed.... but, yes you have one album (36 pics), but there are also pics posted by you in "Trophy Shots". Which one are you trying to post on the thread??

It is a pain! But the "techie" (note the singular) for both FM and F&F forums has it somewhere on a long list.
