Yeah, as in WTF is it of use for!!
I believe that it's quite good for causing skidmarks though, if you use the pages as a botty wipe.

We've had similar discussions before and IMO the Financial Times is the best for wiping, without smearing. The print is also good from the transference to your nether end point of view.
WTF and most other Hi-Fi periodicals are far too stiff and shiny for a happy outcome.

Quite right and 100% correct, it is however very good as a sick bag when folded correctly as the pages don't get soaked too quickly which would allow the contents to soak and thus not leak out, the stiffer pages allow one to get the contents into a bin without spillage.Originally Posted by hifi_dave

Never thought of that one.
Do you fold it like a wrap with the bottom folded over or as a straightforward cone ? I'd hate to get sick on my velour..
