Yes, got mine! Had a quick scan, and read the letters page. The one about the weresheep stories in the 1970s reminds me there was a film about that very thing called Godmonster of Indian Flats from 1973. See here:

Maybe it was a transatlantic obsession for a while? There's a weresheep in the Hexham heads tale as well.

Got mine too.
Annoyingly though I had already had my bath. Couldn't justify two in one day.

My copy arrived yesterday! Have only read a little bit, but it looks very promising. A few points though from what I've read so far:

- Do you think we can ever, ever get an issue of FT that doesn't bang on about John Mitchell?
- That 'ghost photo' in IHTM is absolutely terrible. I don't think I've ever seen a more blatant photoshop. Why on earth did it even get printed?
- Lovely to see another crazy letter in the letter's page (re: Biblical giants are real). The 'government are hacking my computer because they don't want you to know the truth' was the icing on the cake.
- The ferrets on steroids story, OH LORDY. I don't think I've ever laughed as much at an FT story than that!

Can't wait to get through the rest of the issue!

As long as they don't mention You Know Who, I am fine with Mitchel...

Mine came last week. I took it to work and left it there, like a dork, and only retrieved it yesterday. Rolling Eyes

Can't wait to read it. Very Happy

Mine hasn't arrived Sad

I suspect I'll be getting some cheap eggs instead.

Proof, if any was needed, that you don't mess with THE MAN.

I'd like to point out in passing that it is traditional for those whose copy hasn't yet arrived to be regaled with tales of how WONDERFUL this issue is, SURELY THE BEST EVER, and full of THE TYPES OF STORIES THAT YOU LOVE THE MOST! Laughing

Oh yeah! I mean, that picture on page 41 completely proves it for me! The age-old mystery finally solved, without a doubt, 100%.

The four main articles were pretty good this ish, the witchy one had a bit of an anti-climax but it's a good story, and the artificial-looking people article was really interesting and thought-provoking, maybe something to consider for the bad vibes thread too.

Surprised the Vril article didn't mention a certain hot, meaty drink, I thought it was the law to bring it up. Are they sure it was Alderaan they were on about? I don't think it's around anymore to check, I certainly felt a great disturbance in the Force when I did an online search.

I know this is next issue and not this one, but... Crook Frightfulness! Next time! Hey! It would be great if they'd unearthed some background on it.

Liked the Vril Society article, look forward to the book.

Some interesting book & film reviews.

Good barking letter about Giants from someone whose computer gets sabotaged by MIB (?).Funy they let her get awat with the letter.

Good obit/appreciation for Ray Harryhausen.

After a week in Sunny Queensland (as opposed to rainy Sydney, where the rain hasn't stopped all week!) I returned home to find my copy of FT. What bliss! I liked the bit about the kidney double up!
