Change down.

Sit up.

Try and relax.

Sweat stops drip dripping off my nose and into my eyes and starts to run down my back. I grab an old shirt and wipe my eyes and face.

I look down and my withered lungs and pigeon chest are glossy with effort.

My arms are covered in a light dew. My shoulders steam slightly in the dampness. My palms are so sweaty I can barely hold the grips.

Reach for drink. How many more sessions to go?

Only two.

Three quarters done.

My knees are on fire. Someone is trying to pull my kneecaps out through my thighs.

Oh-oh, 5 seconds to go.

Get ready. Wind it up, through the gears, and GO!

    For all that we like the up-to-the minute offerings of the web there‚s nothing like a proper badly photocopied A5 fanzine or a glossily printed proper magazine to keep you occupied on the throne. Here, in no particular order, is our material of choice.

    In the UK as we give away our civil liberties in the name of freedom it might be handy to be aware of Photographers Rights.
