Default PC mags..

Now something I look forward to each month is my feast of PC literature so I rushed into WH smith yesterday to pickup my gourmet of PC magazines. Custom PC and PC gamer are on top of my list. So I battled through wades of people standing who, for some reason, insist on reading before buying and grab the aforementioned magazines with great purpose only checking to make sure I have the right issue. An hour later, I’m sitting on the train reading through PC gamer when it suddenly it dawned on me that I bough the same issue last month. Turns out that it was the last shelf day for the issue. What a numpty! I wouldn’t have minded but I only realised about half an hour or so in At £5.99 a time, it's quite a costly mistake.

hehe, when you get a look of disgust form a woman like that.. do this...

do a double take on her, then the 'mag'
then her again, turning the mag on its side, then the 'mag'..
repeat

all with a look of a bit of surprise when looking at her.

guarantee she will look away very quickly
