Reading your Thrills each week!
« on: 21 October, 2009, 04:38:20 PM »
Okay everyone, new poll.
 This one gives you two votes, so you can put down your primary and secondary reading place of Thargs mighty organs!

I always read mine in the dining room and anything that doesn't take my fancy is then read on the throne at a later time of my bodies choosing!

I've included the shop scenario because I have seen loads of people reading 2000AD in Smiths and then put it back on the shelf, bag this as well Tharg, make those drokkers pay!

Always buy mine from WH Smith in Ilford as I'm always there for work on a Wednesday. Either read it on the toilet in the office or on the bus home.

For me it is bog then bed, whichever happens first, and if I crap myself while reading it in bed then that counts as both I suppose. As it hasn't happened (yet) it is not worth having as a separate option ;)

When on public transport I prefer something with a thicker spine, so if you nod off it drops on the floor (or table if you are going intercity) and the noise wakes you up.

Bollocks, I missed out work. My poll is now flawed :(

I'm sure if you were to ask nicely someone could update it for you.
if I went 'round saying I was an Emperor just because some moistened bint had lobbed a scimitar at me, they'd put me away!

Don't panic John, just have them tick shed and then post to say that "shed" is their pet name for work.  Anyone who DOESN'T post thusly is therefore at work when they read.

No, doesn't work.

Lately I’ve taken to reading the Prog, not the Megazine as it’s too big for one sitting, in the bath if I’ve got the time. If not that I’ll read it somewhere quiet, most likely my bedroom.

I mostly read mine on the sofa, or in the bath. Every third Wednesday, you see, I have a bath. No, not JUST every third Wednesday, but due to my rot, every third Wednesday I'm in a position where I can bath with the prog. Tonight is such a night.

However, due to my wife inviting another burlesque performer round for an evening of gossippy nonsense, I am not having one, as our bathroom door has no lock and I don't want this other woman walking in when I'm naked and soapy.

So tonight, I'm going to read it on my bed. In the bedroom- where I have been banished to. Where I am now.

Just so's you know.

I have corrected your deliberate mistake ;)

If it arrives early enough on a Saturday, I take it back to bed. Otherwise, I read it on the couch with a nice cup of the old chai.

Bed or Sofa although today i very nearly stopped to read it in Borders which was like an involuntary action but luckily will power and rigid self discipline put paid to that as i thought to myself leave it till later which i did but i caught a glimpse of one page of Kingdom.

None of the above. At my desk at home, actually.

Never understood how someone can read in the bath. Doesn't the prog get soggy?

Actually, it does sometimes get a bit steamy- then 'inflates' a bit when I leave it on the shelf overnight. I've never actually got it wet though- my grip is far too firm for that.

...what?

And what about the prog? Oh, the old ones, always the best.
