Totally unproffesional and a complete shambles the way Great Magazines have handled all of this. I don't blame Manics fans trying to cancel their orders and buying instead direct from W H Smiths.

I picked up the last copy from WHSmiths in Newport. Got fed up of waiting for greatmagazines.co.uk to send out my pre-ordered copy. At least I've got one to sell on now if anyone on here doesn't manage to get one.

i got a reply from Great Magazines. Oh this is fucking priceless

After checking further I have been unable to locate your payment. Could I therefore please request you check with your bank to see if this has been cashed and if so forward a copy of the statement detailing the payment. Please blank out all other transactions for security.

FFS, I've never come across such a farce. Had I known that I would have been able to pick up copies from my local WH Smiths with ease, I would not have bothered to pre-order this.

Aww, Lee, if I'd known that yesterday I'd have picked you up a copy and sent it over to you! As it is I'm not going into Lincoln again for awhile now so they'll all be gone by the time I get back. You must be so pissed off.

Between Great Magazines and Townsend Records the Manics really are going the extra mile to annoy and frustrate their fans these days aren't they?

I honestly don't get it. I'm being serious right now.
Don't they want our money? Because I really can't see what the REAL PROBLEM might be.

thanks very much for that my friend! the price for shipping overseas by this lot was quite reasonable, and we had at the time no idea if there were going to be limited in the shops or not. you never know, it still might land once they work out basic accounting!

not really pissed off - not NOW THAT I HAVE TICKETS FOR THE STONE ROSES next year. so i might see you "soon".
