I hate shrinkflation.

Yes, I was irritated enough to measure all of this out when I discovered how much smaller and lighter the loo roll I just received was, compared to the rolls I have from my last order.

Was: 120g weight 10cm height 11cm width 3.6cm tube width

Now: 87g weight 9.7cm height 9.5cm width 4.2cm tube width

Fuck shrinkflation. Do you think we don't notice?

A Sunday Andrex Story (excerpt)

As their misogynist was on the return journey of his Sunday walk he contemplated life, the universe, and anything else that happened to be in it. He had finally arrived at the answer to why the number 42 was the meaning to life. It wasn't because of Luke 42 from the Judaic Christian bible. It wasn't because of the conception of a Royal Marine Commando Unit. It had nothing to do with the Mines and Collieries Act and was certainly not a bus route number that took you closer to the woman you loved most of all. No, it was because of Andrex. The two ply soft toilet paper had been given birth in the year of 1942. He was glad to be back from his walk and at the bathroom toilet that had seemed a million miles from reality not ten minutes earlier. The number 42 was most certainly the meaning of life because of the comfort and cleanliness provided by Andrex. Of this he was now most certain.

He hadn't known the name Andrex had originated from the St Andrew's Mill in Walthamstow where it was first produced. Neither had he known it was initially developed from a design for a gentleman's disposable handkerchief, exclusively sold at Harrods department store in London. But when he now thought of the name Andrex he was most certainly thinking of quality, comfort and that fresh feeling.

It was good to be back home and to feel relieved from the burden of consumption. He filled the kitchen kettle and placed it on the induction hot plate he had bought for camping with. A mug of decaf and a croissant would ease in the afternoon.

414. Various Authors - Imagine #30 (September 1985)

Apparently oblivious to the fact that this would be the last ever issue of Imagine, the magazine seems to be firing on all cylinders at this point. With a full issue dedicated to Vikings, this is actually a good issue, with in-depth articles on Viking lore and legend and an adventure which appropriately is set during Ragnarok, the end of the world.

It was certainly Ragnarok for Imagine, which this issue decided to replace their usual film critic, Colin Greenland, for some guy called Neil Gaiman who appears to have really hated Ridley Scott's Legend. I get it, but saying Scott "can't direct his way out of an Andrex commercial" seems a bit of a hot take as he had already directed such titles as Alien and Blade Runner by 1985... not exactly bad films.

As usual we also get more content for the Pelinore campaign setting and as usual for a Viking themed issue, loads of ideas on how to include Viking themes in your (A)D&D. So, a fond farewell to Imagine, a magazine that while not spectacular always managed to have at least a couple of really good issues and which also had a great group of writers writing for it.
