What's in your toilet reading magazine pile?
« on: September 03, 2011, 01:19:25 AM »
After being inspired by TG on the HiPo forum, I thought I'd ask whether toilet reading for us biker types is a "normal" state of affairs and if so what is in your magazine pile next to the big white throne? I'm lucky, I have a magazine rack next to mine that has an integral holder for a roll of toilet tissue - very practical and functional.

Currently in the rack you'll find a copy of the latest Classic Racer, Classic Bike magazine, Practical Sportsbikes - a great new UK magazine for bikes of the 80s/90s, Old Bike Mart newspaper, a Machine Mart tool catalogue, this year's Island Racer programme and of course, the latest issue of "Buzzing" - journal of the National Autocycle and Cyclemotor Club!

I like a nice selection in case we have guests staying over :D

My wife makes sure I get plenty of fiber, so there's never enough "throne time" for reading more than the label on the tube of toothpaste.

I like my women a little big. Natural. Now, they shave this and wax that. It's not right. I love natural women. Big women. This trend in women has to go. Bulomia, anorexia. That's just wrong.

Natrional Geographic and the Sunday comics.  Sometimes I just take something of special interest in there, but usually it's pretty much an air strike mission.  Get in, decimate, get the fokk out.
