Mine's arrived

BTW - Does Don the Talking Dog say 'Sausages'?

Had a quick look through, talking dogs looks interesting (and there's a lot of it), but is the Phil Proctor who took the simulacrum snap on the bottom right the same one from the Firesign Theatre?

Also, the sideline about the ghost caught on speed camera sounds like an urban myth, any evidence online? Like the photo maybe?

One of the letters.... hmm, might be from a mad person but not sure... more on another thread.

 

[Cultjunky]

I'm liking the cover, reminds me of all the reasons i bought FT in the first place.

The photo of a ghost in the letters page is an iphone app picture.

The source article has a photo - Dead Man Driving

Gorgeous cover. I'd be interested to know how it sells in shops.

Thanks. And with a photo of such crystal clarity, who am I to argue now?!

Anyway, got through most of the mag this afternoon, the talking dog article was great (and funny!) even if it remind me of certain episodes of That's Life. In fact from what I've read, this is a really good issue. I suppose it's a themed issue, with all the animal stories, but there's enough variety not to make it monotonous.

All this talk of the cover has me hanging out for my copy to arrive!

In case anyone doubts it, there really is a professor of biology called Boris Worm.

[McAvennie]

Was there not a big feature on talking dogs only two or three issues ago?

 

[47Forteans]

Yes, talking dogs have been covered before, along with other talking animals earlier on in the year...

Anyone been in Fortean Towers lately? It may have been taken over by sentient dogs. They'll turn it into a Bauhaus.

A BauWauWauhaus surely...?

More like Rovers Arms...

(Any more bad puns like that, people will think we're barking mad!)

 

[Cultjunky]

They're a woof audience to please.

 

[titch]

The standard of puns on this forum is really going to the dogs.

Woofly speaking you're correct.

 

[47Forteans]

You can't fleas everyone!

 

[titch]

Really good issue, lots of top notch stuff in it, only little niggles are the horrible cover ( although i suspect i am the only person that doesn't like it) and the anticipating 9/11 which was already featured a few months ago, or i have read the exact same article somewhere else.


I cant wait for the talking dog on a bike article next month!

 

[James_H]

I like the cover, perhaps a bit retro for me but I like the more bold, graphic/poster look

Haven't read enough of the contents so far to comment

 

[47Forteans]

Reading the Headlines, I wanted to know more about the "Balloon Kills Cow" article! :shock:

 

[sherbetbizarre]

Is it this?

[47Forteans]

That's it! Thank you Sherbetbizzare.

Very sad...
