Hello Fixers

Some of you might be aware of some of the trouble currently surrounding the magazine, the magazine has basically turned into your uncle Paul, you know your uncle Paul? The guy who has slept in the spare room since he got divorced from auntie Jane in 1997, Uncle Paul who your mum is always shouting at your dad about .Uncle Paul he doesn’t have a job, is always in the pub and isn’t even related to you by blood but you still call him uncle. Well, he’s getting sued to add to the woes of being single and living in the house of his childhood best friend. No one really wants to talk to him as it’s all a bit too depressing. Poor old uncle Paul/ The Fix

For those of you who have never faced legal action before being sued is like being told off by your Mum and Dad if your Mum and Dad are the government, the government are really strict and are going to take away £7,000 of your pocket money or send you to your room (debtors prison) if you are found guilty. I won’t tell you too much about the case but all you need to know is that we are innocent, like Barry George and Colin Stagg.

In order to save money for the time being we are going to move all Fix operations to the internet, some of you may not of heard of the internet but don’t worry it’s really good and much cheaper than print. So for the next couple of months there will be no print edition of the magazine. This can be seen 1 off two way’s Negatively: “ That’s not going to work who wants to read about comedy on a computer! Change is for Robots” or Positively: “ Wow think of the limitless possibilities of the internet the free exchange of information the integration of modern technologies you tube clips, pod-casts and comedian porn” It’s up to you what way you want to look at it, I for one will be looking at it negatively. But please make your own mind up.

Over the next 6 weeks we are gradually going to drip feed all sorts of content on the site including interviews such as Angelos Epithemious and Bob Mortimer in conversation, Rich Fulcher talking about his new Book and Robin Ince in conversation with Barry Cryer. Then there’s the ultimate guide to comedy DVD’s to buy this Christmas, Pod-casts, filmed footage of Fix live nights and all the usual Fix favourites that our thousands of readers are familiar with from the magazine. And if that wasn’t enough for you we are going to be raking up some of the old muck from the previous 20 editions of the magazine and smearing it all over the internet.

So this whole getting sued moving to the internet might actually turn out for the best, lets hope so for my sake, your sake and most importantly uncle Paul’s sake.
