Perhaps I missed an earlier thread on this.
I went to the barber this morning and while I was waiting, I was
browsing through one of those puerile "lad mags" full of scantily
dressed women with improbable figures, and articles about cars that you
could never park in Nottingham, when I came across a short article about
unicycling.
there was a picture of a young chap whose name was given as "Jagur" -
surely there can't be two, so I assume it was our own jagur from this
forum. he was on what looked like a 20 or 24 with a fat tyre - clearly
a proper enthusiast's unicycle, and wearing typical unicyclist's
clothing (as opposed to a clown's costume).
Next to the photo were copies of letters apparently sent in by
unicyclists objecting to something published in an earlier issue of the
magazine in which unicyclists were likened to clowns. On the whole,
those letters were well written and not too hysterical, and appealed for
unicycling to be treated with respect as a legitimate and challenging
sport. Unfortunately, the brief editorial comment was to the effect of,
"Yeah, right, whatever you say, but you still look like clowns." This
was the June (or July?) issue of FHM. Anyone else seen it?
