These Hungarians are mad-assed for producing 140+ pages of content, and Igor pays them the greatest of props. Igor alas, had to pass on an offer to write something for them due ongoing long-suffering issues with another publication that got a scatload of my services for free… If I could turn the clock back, I would have invested that 100 hours in The Dose – actually no, 20 hours for The Dose and 80 hours into my stuff. Sorry Dose peeps – hope I can do something later!
