and i thought you were just making fun of me

"Included you will find all your old friends such as Cassidy, Dan Conway, Songwords, Catch the Criminal, etc. And each week there is a special activity packed, colourful eight page section specially for Owens Club members (Children's Section). All this, plus our Pen Pals page, short stories, jokes, letters from readers and an episode of our serial story. In short, something for all the family to enjoy."

..sorry for taking your work ethic sale off topic

Why do you think I'm selling it? Fat lot of good it does me.

Anyway, the serial stories are the best. They always involve one or more of the following topics:

* Plain girl finds love, learns beauty is needless when one has the patience of a doormat and a shut mouth
* Bachelor farmer in flat cap finds long-lost love, has second chance at totty
* Dead parent teaches child(ren) a lesson through withheld inheritance


In the words of the editor:

"To preserve it's [sic] wholesome ethos, the magazine must bypass even world-changing events, so if you want 'comfort' history, if you want 'comfort' Irish Nationalism, this is the magazine for you. It's non-political, non-sectarian and has something for all the family, giving special comfort for those living alone. It's a microcosm of all that's good about Ireland...and provides a direct link with the people out there who regularly contribute to the Readers' Letters."

Irelands Own does nothing for me. I prefer scandal rags, such as Chat, that expose love rats.

i was cleaning out a wardrobe yesterday and found my Denis The Menace Fan Club membership pack, with membership card filled in by me in october 1979.

unfortunately, the hairy gnasher badge with the googly eyes is gone.
