Just had this email...
Dear David,
Thanks very much for writing in with this – very funny and quite extraordinary. How on earth did you spot it?
Anyway, I'll write this up so if it does get in it'll be in next week's mag, 1358.
Thanks again!
Best,

Private Eye is a highly regarded publication of high standard investigative journalism.
It is also a fantastically funny satirical magazine.
It is considered a badge of honour to get published in it!

I know what the magazine is. But, devoid of any context, your post is clear in it's meaning, and also meaningless. You don't say what they are publishing, you're just boasting that they are.

I am boasting that they MIGHT.
I shall wait and see.
If they do I shall post it up!
I have been in it once before, about 10 years ago.

So, the worth of sharing whatever you wrote, is intrinsically tied to if they publish it ? If they don't, it shall remain a secret ?

Yeah, I wouldn't want to build people's hopes and dreams up then dash them cruelly as it is pulled at the last moment.
BTW, I just posted something for you on FB

I presume that it is for the Luton edition?
I can't see that anyone from Luton has anything worthwhile to say that would need to be heard more than 100 yards from the airport boundary.

It is a big town 25 minutes from central London.
Granted, it's a dump, but I live and work here at the moment.
Gary Cooper came from Luton.

And the fact that he seldom, if ever, mentioned that fact is telling, but the real question is whether he ever wanted to go back.

Oh, he NEVER came back!
I occasionally go back to my home country, but more as an excuse to get out of Luton.

Exactly. He came from Luton but he chose to die elsewhere. 
If there is one thing more dangerous than getting between a bear and her cubs it's getting between my wife and her chocolate.

That's OK. When I was about 25 I went back to the place I lived the first 5 years of my life, looked around and said "Nah, it's just a rumor that I'm from here." Never been back since and have no plans to, either.

I know Luton. Flown out of it many times - best place in Luton: the departure lounge at the airport...

I can't believe PE was taken in by all that Moon-landing truth denier stuff.
Anyway, give us a clue, so I know what it is when I see it.

Court ruling overturns Net Neutrality, threatens online access, experts warn[^].
I'm sure the fight isn't over; nonetheless it does show what the providers (regardless of what they say) really want to do or why did they bring the suit?
The details...[^]
'One thing is for sure: Today’s decision will not change consumers’ ability to access and use the Internet as they do now,” wrote Randall Milch, Verizon's general counsel and executive vice president. “Verizon has been and remains committed to the open Internet that provides consumers with competitive choices and unblocked access to lawful websites and content when, where, and how they want.'
I want to believe you, really, I do. But I don't.

Quote: “One thing is for sure: Today’s decision will not change consumers’ ability to access and use the Internet as they do now, it will just cost you a lot more than it does now
This is what he really meant.

I personally think that a 'free and open' web where you can look at, steal or otherwise interact with anything you like, is a huge societal problem that we're only just starting to come to terms with.

Doesn't this just mean people who have more expensive packages can use the same ISP servers but get higher limits on their speed?
