It must be getting close to the time when Subscribers receive FT 312. What do people think, should it arrive around the end of this week?

The mists are clearing, you will be reading a magazine in the near future.

Thankyou, now cross my palm with Paypal.
 
I phoned up WHSmith today and they say they're expecting it on March 6th, so subscribers should get it a few days earlier than this.
 
Not at all needy or creepy. :lol:

Or a few weeks later than that.
 
Got mine just!

I would tell you what is in it but the cat has decided that it is just the right thing to sit on!

Kick the cat off and let us know.
 
My cat's got a new bed, and finds little comfort in FT these days.

Cover article about Spain's Holy Company, the wandering procession of the respiratorily challenged.
Barry Baldwin pens a piece about medical quackery; looks good.
An article about the debate concerning the Moon's origin. I'm especially looking forward to that, as the consensus seems to change every few years
A article about Venezuelan electoral supernatural paranoia (from reading the blurb beneath the title)
Interesting looking forum piece about the possible consequences for ft.co.uk of David Cameron's need to be seen combating children's access to internet porn.
David Hambling's contribution this month (always a favourite of mine) concerns the fairly dodgy concept of the Fluid Space Drive, but more broadly and more interestingly, the need to not dismiss scientific concepts because they at first appear to contradict received wisdom.
There's more, but I've only just opened it.
 
Got mine today, and it looks good. There seems to be a surprising amount of info about that cheese fetishist. For a second I thought he'd actually given an interview about his... proclivities...! :D

Needy and/or creepy just about sums up every single Fortean Times reader! :lol:

Still reading the last issue, as it arrived three weeks late! What's the point of having a subscription if it turns up three weeks late?!

I posit the above as being a genuine example of procognition.

I am available for my own show (weddings and bar-mitzvahs)
 
Just begun Barry Baldwin's article, Hippocratic Oafs. Already entertaining, but I'm not yet clear of the first page, and I've had to look up two words. Good ole BB!:)
 
About half way through my issue and I'm really enjoying it. The pilgrims from hell was a good piece and I'm thrilled the Illustrated Police News is back!

Spooky coincidence with this issue...a few days ago I was sorting through some old books and found one entitled "Doomsday 1999", about how the world was going to end on the millenium (obviously, the book was full of crap!). I flicked through it and found a chapter about people who go searching for the 'real' Noah's Ark. My curiosity got piqued, so I looked online and read a few things about it. The next day I received my copy of FT, and listed for coming next issue? A piece about Noah's Ark :shock:

Rather than the winning lottery numbers, maybe I'm predicting what future issues of FT will contain!
 
Just recieved my copy - and only eight days after it went on sale in England! Usually it takes two or three weeks to arrive, so I am a Happy Bunny! :D Haven't read it yet, but it looks a cracker of an issue!
 
It has been a good issue, but the next seems so far away. I suppose I'm going to have to find something constructive to do for the next couple of weeks.
 
Mine came the day before yesterday. Haven't had a chance to look through it properly, yet. Looks promising, though. :)
 
The Communist cults of personality article was an eye-opener. So much for high ideals!

Well, that's humans being humans for you...

The Chavez simulacra was more Dr Zaius to my eyes. Interesting point about Lenin being the proto-cryo-Disney.

The Forteana under threat by David Cameron article did not really work for me. Seemed more of a this could happen and that could happen round about way to just have a dig at Cameron and make cliched digs at Daily Mail readers. Did not help that the word 'online' was consistently spelt 'on line'. On what line? Or that the Marlboro Man was referred to as the Marlborough Man.
 
So I found my long-lost FT312. I barely remember having read it, last year.

And now I've managed to drop it in the bath. Dammit!! I shall try and stop it turning into paper mache, but the patient is well-soaked.

Wish me luck.....
