With all this knocking of Tony Bell's column, thought I'd have a laugh - surely Tony's stuff is better than that bearded t*sser Keith Bingham (has anyone EVER read that?) and those pants bike revues by a bunch of 5th cat wannabees?
So you're stuck on a desert island, with the choice of one book of back-issue cuttings. Which do you choose?

Come on JT, no-one's going to lament the loss of a few CW staffers - might improve the content... |

| You missed all the mail order adverts, they fill 75% of the pages. And sometimes they ARE the best read! |

Thats true!!accurate reporting is not their forte!their recollection of my crash is slightly different to how nearly everyone one else saw it(including the judges and comms) .
Just think its the wrong impression to give new comers to the sport,no crash hats on the cover...

| The classified ads section plus the bit on the cover which tells you how much the Comic costs in Darre Salaam. |

There's an option missing from the voting page - "none of the above" - would likely get a majority?
