even if you had no idea who they were talking about (as i didn't) snide rumours was still damned funny.
What's that supposed to mean? I don't get it..... are you one of 'em cliques I've read about?A bit like this forum then...:wh
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.

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..."
Me neither.
Which gallery is it in Ed?
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
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
What did ??
The picture won't open up for me ...........
