BRIDE'S AGONY- Bum Torn Apart By Wedding Dress

One of my school friends married a doctor & had 2 children. Then on a family holiday to the canaries she had an affair with a Spanish waiter & left her children & DH to live out there

She sold her story to a shit mag (and got paid extra for providing pictures)

Her parents are vair posh & were not impressed!! Her ex in laws never spoke to her again either... my dsis still has a copy of the magazine from mid nineties

I had something happen to me (being vague, not able to elaborate) that these mags often feature. Everyone kept telling me to sell my story to them. Not for a million quid could I bring myself to, even though it’s extremely tame compared to the chicken shagging story!

Cocolepew thanks, that’s my Friday night sorted once DH get’s home with the wine and chocolate!

I think it's the £250 paid for every story

Even if I was down to my last penny I don't think I could put my face to that story about the chicken shagging... How did they ever leave the house again? Especially the guy? You'd have to be pretty desperate.

or the one where random women write in and say ' I thought your readers would enjoy seeing this photo of my grand children Rosey Mae and Dwain enjoying their ice cream > insert average photo of two children <

No Edna from Slough we wouldn't

I think it's the £250 paid for every story..

Do these people have no shame or is it I'll do anything for my 5 mins of fame?

Looking at the photo, I'm surprised she hasn't lost all feeling in her legs
Coming soon..I GOT SQUASHED BY MY BREASTFEEDING SON!!

@alltoomuchrightnow I bought a copy of one of them in the 90's just so I could cut out the headline "I pulled down my leggings and my intestines fell out" I also remember that the protagonist (journo) wrote in the story "I was literally holding my life in my hands"

The teenage son is morbidly obese. She’s killing him.

She needs 9000 calories a day to "sustain her family's needs

Yeah I think she might have miscalculated that. She's about 20 stone.
And also WTAF is she thinking.

OriginalGeordie, you can download the readly app and use your DHs sign in. More than one person can use it.
Im crying at the farting woman who thinks its her DH trapped in her arse.

NotASingleFuckToGive O. M. G... I zoomed as much as I could and managed to read some of it... Did I read towards the end that she's tried to cut down because her son is approaching puberty and also that she needs 9000 calories a day to 'sustain her family's needs'?!!

I staggered into my council flat, in grotty town, with two screaming toddlers, a pushchair, and bags of food shopping, to see my lazy bastard of a husband watching porn..I immediately ran in the kitchen and threw up..."I bet I'm pregnant I thought...Yes I was, and my Husband wanted steak for tea..On the £12 a week he gave me for food!..Later on, he went out in his sports car, all dressed up, and I thought, I bet that bastard's meeting another woman..At least I had the kids to keep my company..To cut a long story short, I left him, took the kids and went living in my own council house..Meanwhile my ex is still looking for women..

Christmastits here's a clearer copy I think, get your eye bleach ready

I’ve seen the Top Tips, and they are always dire. My mum used to buy TAB and me and my daughters always laughed at the crappy tips. Worst one I recall was someone who cobbled together a fancy dress outfit making bunny ears out Of sanitary pads or pantie liners!

I have tried to come up with even —worse— better tips to send in a a prank, but I’m not that imaginative.

I've bought it once, for "I had headaches and then my brain fell out" (it didn't).

What I don't understand is the lurid crime stories, "Dancing around the garden with gran's head on a pole", you know the sort of thing - surely if any of these things happened, they'd make the national news?! But if they didn't happen, isn't it libellous against Kev or Daz or whichever hunk was allegedly wielding the pole?

I have no TV or Internet at the place I'm sleeping atm. So I read newspapers and lots of mags for entertainment. The slimming mags have a very similar style in the personal stories. Their lives go from complete misery to utter joy. It's like a fairy tale. Also stuff like Closer where a star's 'diet woes' are described by a 'source'. Poor old Pauline Quirke's getting it in the neck for 'piling on the pounds' The 'source' claims the reason for all of this is her concentrating on 'her chain of theatre schools' The lazy cow. It's much better to be skinny than have a successful business.

And the top tips - how to give your budgie an orgasm using only a cardboard egg box and that sort of thing.

I think that's a different kind of magazine you're thinking of there...

This has cracked me up!

I was once reading a story in a trashy magazine and it sounded way too familiar. Then I realised it was one of my patients I’d cared for in a&e! She’d sold her story to the magazine exclaiming her dog saved her life. No mention of thanks to us mere mortals who worked for hours on her! I’m still a little bitter a Jack Russel got all the credit for that

@NotASingleFuckToGive that is beyond anything!! You have to type that out 😂 or at least post a photo of it so it can be read!

The mark of the gutter press is putting ages after names, along with some kind of descriptor.

FInancial Times: ‘Ms. Kendall was arrested and charged with fraud and will appear in Sunderland Magistrates court at a date to be determined’

TaB: ‘busty Sharon, 33, was arrested and charged...etc’

Of course the DM needs to qualify Sharon’s house prices as wel.

Daily Mail: ‘Busty Sharon, 33, was arrested at her 450,000£ bungalow ...’

A bit like the DM’s crusade to divide all substances on earth into those causing or curing cancer.

A friend calls them skagmags. (where we grew up skaggy meant scruffy, not something to do with heroin)
