Well done to the lads of the Vintage Red fanzine, for an excellent read.

Especially liked the mock up of Martyn Starnes as the Iraqi Information Officer.

Absolutely magic.

Take a bow who ever put it together

Sublime

That sounds a bit wrong actually

Thankyou for your hard work in pulling it all together and getting it out

However, there are many articles that are wriiten by the fans and I applaud that and thank them for it, I for one cant be that witty

It was funny wasn't it

Is it a new fanzine?

Or am I just out of touch as ever!

Yes, the first one since The Magic Roundabout, which was 5 years ago.

I've just noticed it's for sale on the Trust web site, or it'll be on sale at the Wycombe game.

its new I think BR

Thank you both for that.

I wouldnt know i didnt read it

bring back the 69er :D

would be really interested to read one of these...

has anyone i know off here got one and if so could i have it?

ive some how got 2 copies you can have 1 Pm me your address.

Bring back "Bring the Noise!"

In fact there is an article on BTN in Vintage Red, on how the club & the police tried to ban it.

indeed its a good article that and shows how little has really changed since 1988

and that's what these old people are fighting to preserve!

:shock:

What I've read so far is excellent - Just shows that there is still a place for good old traditional fanzines.

Too true

If they revive the "Mcbag" comic strip I'll take out a subscription

I know it's a different fanzine but some more Runt & McMuck cartoons would be most welcome. Or did they get taken to court about them?

i was writing that in response to YR's comment and referring to the old lady who offered to take all my print outs and tear them up

I used to love BTN - best fanzine around at the time, I used to collect loads of them

I think legal action was threatened but I don't think it got as far as court.

Bring back The Randy Robin :D

I never had the pleasure of reading Bring The Noise, but I used to collect the 69er which was always a good read.

I am sure that the guy who puts it all together would absoloutly welcome more articles from the Fans.

Its a Fanzine, written by the fans FOR the fans

i like the way he carefully missed out the bollocks bit out of thetownend header  :D

Well he probably didnt want to offend any leading lights from the supporters club

that would never do

A great read.

Just been through it cover to cover.

The official programme is all very well but it's the difference between reading Pravda and Private Eye. Plus it gives money to the Trust and not Duntheclubin.

Great job, well done. I'm looking forward to the next one.

it needs an ask Spacey section 8)

OH yes !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


thats top Yeovil

Let me set it up !

Bring Back McBag!![/b]

Nice to read somethin that was really humerous and it makes a fantastic read as well, I did like the cut out of a financial controller - I'm sure Martyn & Sandy had a good read as well due to "featuring" in there !!

What will people be asking me?

 Dear Spacey.....can I ask you what to ask you, because I don't know.

I suppose you could ask me what I had for tea or maybe what my favourite colour is.

Dear Spacey.....what did you have for tea?

Shepherds pie.

I can tell we're onto a winner with this idea.

:Ride On Fatbury's Lovestick:

  Dear Spacey.....what is the difference between Shepherd's Pie and Cottage Pie?

About 30p?

I dunno is one made with lamb and the other with beef.

dear spacey, why are you such a cunt?

Dear Spacey.

                     Can the 2nd World War be directly attributed, amongst other factors, to the harsh treatment of Germany within The Treaty Of Versailles, or was it all Hitlers fault?

 So you had the one made from lamb?

I know you think I'm great really.

I hope so, beef brings me out in scabs.

It was actually ralphy's grandad's fault.

 I would contend that most "shepherds" pies are in fact beef based rather than lamb based.   I always felt,  certainly erroneously,  that an addition of cheese converted a shepherd's pie to a cottage pie. Confused no doubt by cottage cheese.

I bought mine from Waitrose, I'll take the receipt in tomorrow and pass on your concerns.

I would refute your statement. Cottage pie is traditionally made with beef, whereas Sheperds pie is traditionally made with lamb.

And I should know: I'm a shepard and I live in a cottage.

 Had you read the earlier post, you would see a unanimity on the definition of shepherd's pie being lamb based.....however there does appear to be confusion on the matter hence the use of "   " on the word shepherd's.

  Most items retailing as shepherd's pie are surely beef based.

  Can I recommend the Sainsbury's shepherd's pie

Sainsbury's taste the difference, 400g, £2.49
Not a bad effort and satisfyingly rich.
3 stars

Waitrose, 750g, £5.49
Not a classic. There's cheese on top, and the meat and potato are too chunky. Sludgy mince. The flavour hasn't bled into the sauce.
2 stars

Calm down guys! It's only pie.

My sincere apologies, it seems I was somewhat rash with my post.
I bow to your greater knowledge of potato/meat based dishes.

Dear spacey

Is it true that the smell of a rose is better than the smell of a asshole

 I've always felt the lack of pastry in a shepherd's pie to be a bit of a con.....past debates have shown that pies are very close to the heart of many TEF contributors.

 An analogous situation would be the the naming of the Iron Age site at Barbury as a "castle" when in fact, there is no or never has been a castle at all.

Not to George Michael, or Elton John......

That's bollocks! There was no cheese on it, and to say the mince was sludgy is quite frankly offensive.

 I only asked  a question..a simple yes or no would have done.

I agree reg, it should be renamed "shepherd's potato suprise" with immediate effect.

Barbury Casle should be renamed "windy field with some archaeological interest". That may be based on my childhood memories of being dragged to such places for Sunday afternoon walks. This has infact scarred me for life, putting me off any outside scenery and leaving me in favour of building big concrete carparks in any such green spaces.

Reg Smeeton,

I'm always particularly offended by the sort of fish "pie" trotted out by that monkey mouthed estuary twat Oliver et al.

No meat. No pastry. A kind of poncey cream and white wine sauce.

WRONG!

yeovil i will not be giving you my address incase you rape me.


will that there fanzine be sold at all home games now or only when people wear orange hats?

I used to be a regular contributor to the 69er-with side-splittingly funny cartoons,rib-tickling articles and serious comment.The editors,Anna and Craig are still regular attenders and it would be great to have another regular fanzine.Was it on sale at the Rovers game?

Yes Vintage Red was on sale before the Rovers game.

I kind of thought fanzines were a thing of the past with t'internet and all. But they aren't, it was a good read.

   Have you considered a career in SBC's planning office, as you seem to have all the necessary qualifications?

It was...and it also should be back on sale against Wycombe.
