Any Aussie subscribers here?

My copy of the March MEW arrived today. I live in Sydney and normally receive it about the middle of the month. The newsagents get it about a week earlier. Problem is that they do not always have it in stock or have sold out.

I still get a regular delivery of the magazine, Just 2 weeks after it is released. No problem,

I was dragged up in South Australia where a walk in the hills around Blackwood revealed huge boulders of iron ore just sitting there on the surface some the size of a house! Put a couple of chunks in the old ute and Bob's your Gallar but I guess they wouldn't be worth much though aye Danny?

The day I came back here I swore I'd get back to Oz one day. However I'm still here in Brissol with my hopes fading away as time passes.

Talking about postage and time lag: On the back of comics back in the sixties there used to be an advert for staging your own invasion of a Pacific island using land sea and air forces game. It was all very exciting to me back then so I saved up my pocket money and sent off to America to get this wondrous game.......About six months later it arrived in a small cardboard box about the size of two packets of twenty fags. Was I disappointed? You can bet I was. It was a game of Battle ships using small ship tokens instead of a pencil and crosses

Hi Danny M2Z

This Joe Blake had a go at me a while back. **LINK**

Glad to hear you get a few paying finds

My copy of 226 arrived in Darling Downs, WA either Thurs, 13th or next day, Friday. Newsagent copies are about 6 weeks (1 or 2 issues) later.

The newsagent issues are shipped in bulk, subscription issues are individually posted.

Danny, yeah I think so. Seems like a good deal that Neil linked to. $6.95 an issue, delivered to the door. What is it in the newsagents these days? $10-$12 like all the others?

Well 226 arrived yesterday, a couple of days after Hoppers. I daresay the carrier pigeon required a pitstop or two to get from far North Q'ld to South Australia!! Interestingly (well I thought it was), the local newsagent had issue 225 on the rack yesterday.

Is a subscription worthwhile? I think it probably is, but then I am sitting on the fence a bit at the moment leaning slightly towards "worthwhile"

How's the new lathe Danny??

cheers

I pay $10 in Wodonga. What really got my goat was the unsolicited advertising from the distributor.

New lathes still in storage (Newcastle NSW) awaiting transport deal. My friend offered me the use of her newish Cayenne turbo but no towbar - the cost of which is more than the transport quotes. I noticed that it also has a skinny spare, and for what she paid, that's a bit sad. The Lexus R380 that she traded was also a nice car. Cost $75,000 ten years ago, trade in now worth $15,000 even with only 125,000k on the clock.

It's sweet to drive.

Indeed tis a small world. I grew up in Blackwood SA. Went to Blackwood High School in the early 70s and served my time down bottom of the hill at the Chrysler/Mitsubishi factory.

Issue 227 arrived today here in Cairns. Pretty good going really, when you look at the price per issue and then compare with what airmail from the UK costs.

Off to the armchair for some engineering now.

I am in Australia, and subscribe to the Electronic version, and find it great. I would like a hard copy, being easier to look at diagrams on other pages to which the text refers, but for cost reasons, have the digital sub only.
