RE: About the mag

If it were my money, I'd buy the magazine, rather than having 'a quick shoofty' in the shop.

While waiting in to pay for a bottle of milk I had a quick shoofty through the July edition and saw the Spendor A3s get a reasonable 4 star rating. Question is: If it were your money (Ketan, Andrew and others) would you choos the A3 or Totem Arro?

So is the A3 closed or not?

That it be, Andrew. At this moment in time, we're having a good clear out, putting up new shelves etc. due to the lack of space. Due to my work commitments this is only done as and when, hence the curtailing of any mag including WHFI S&V.

Depends whether you have a Leema or not. Let's just say it's a 'bottleneck of thought'.

Bullseye, chebby. I'm huge fan of the show and quite often quote lines or phrases on here.

N-n-n-no - that's not right. There needs to be an additional 'y'.

I make no opologies for my jocular manner - things have been going right for once. Months of hard work (and no little worry) is paying off.

Anys'way, back on track. Do any of the reviewers have an opinion on how the A3s stack up against the Arro? given they priced around the same ballpark and are similar size i.e. compact.

You mean you weren't in WHSmith's just now when Ketan popped in and delivered his answer? The two guys in hoodies browsing the gaming mags looked very confused.

(Oh, and I still don't understand the relevance of the title of this thread.)
