iam007

Hi,
Where can i buy old/New issues or playboy,showgirl , penthouse or other similar magazines in bangalore, I know 2 stores along the road near upparpet police station near majestic(Don't get the above but similar)
Better if i have old issue cause it will cost less.
Avenue road i have tried but never got a such a shop to buy magazines.

You are on the internet, which is packed full of free porn, and you're looking for magazines?

Don't tell me you're interested in Playboy for the car reviews!

Ninna aasay ella idirali, 007nu! (You are from Bengaluru?)

Good question from Haylo.

However, since you talk of 'old' Playboy, Penthouse,... I assume you are a collector? And probly posting from work?

Back street vendors of DN Road in Mumbai may help, in that case.

For the rest of you: No, I wasn't looking for porn, it's illegal in India (still?), all I did was, I finished work at the Corp. Headquarters, on assignment, walked out onto DN Road, discovered great 20-100 rupee silk ties, and wondered "If they are so cheap here on the main road...what happens in the back alleys?".

Haylo

As he says he wants old ones because they are cheap, I very much doubt it.

Welcome to Indiamike iam007. A first post - just as James Bond might have!

Cynthia Heimel used to write vaguely feminist articles for Playboy, some of which were published in her books.

Excellent writer: I expect iam007 is probably looking for her stuff!
Come to think of it, it's a bit Round-The-Horne, eh? For those old enough to remember...

Collectors look for cheap hidden treasures, I thought - don't they?

Besides our agt 007, may not have a cooperative Ms. Moneypenny, looks like she's restricting his access to online porn.

Ashley Harkleroad had some good 'stuff' of hers published as well in Playboy - in the not too distant past.

Thanks people , ya i like to collect these kinda magazines. Its just my kinda hobby.

'Collectors' know how/where to hunt down their vintage quarrie & don't 'normally' need to ask on ...ermmm... travel forums. If, on the otherhand, you were in need of a single copy for a quick perv - that would be totally different & might even come across as alot less trollish - even for a first time poster.

Marge Simpson is Playboy Cover Girl!

Even I might have bought this one if it was on sale here!

That's the first time I've ever heard the five finger shuffle referred to as a hobby. And yet it's entertaining, it's something one does to pass the time, so why not?

There's shades of Oscar Wilde about it (smoking, every man must have a hobby etc).

Or maybe I'm being a bit w**ky.

MartinP

Now I'm in a dilemma. IndiaMike seems quite fussy about people writing correctly, and text-style abbreviations seem particularly frowned upon.

So how I wonder do the powers that be legislate on the ugly w**nky – my Bowldlerization of my own words (and this interjection is a bit w**nky in itself) – and the full spelling out of a profanity.

I might lose sleep.

Nick-H

I don't like the idea that the asterisks make a word acceptable. It either is, in which case it should be spelt out, or it isn't.

We had several debates on this when I was on the mod team: I expect they are still occasionally ongoing

The opportunities for bad puns abound

Nick ... if it involved big boys magazines, was it a mass debate ?

and OO7 do you really have a license to spill? ... but anyway I'm much relieved that you have a hobby that relieves the tension and tedium of the humdrum.

Real collectors might want them new ... in case one turns into a "double bag .. must have item" which the Ms Simpson edition might.

However the constipation affecting the dedicated collector must be to be balanced against the blindness which afflicts the dedicated 'reviewer' of these mags.

Nevertheless, should you want any advice about 'sticky' pages, sprained wrists, nice brands of white sticks, the best brand of man strength tissues, having one arm with a more developed muscles, you know ... that sort of thing, feel free to ask

******* of the world unite, you have nothing to loose but your ******

A couple of beers of your choice to the first person to guess the missing words.
