As someone who has written for a similar publication to Time Out (The Big Issue)
for a number of years, and has also had the pleasure of meeting mr paphides...

the piece has been written, filed, printed and read by now and that's that. The
only people who will have taken any notice of it are frisbee players and
paphides' friends. Other readers will have thought, "that is/is not amusing" and
moved on. 

All we can do now is write to correct his inaccuracies and badger them into
printing the (hopefully informative, concise and informal (ie not pompous and
precious)) letter. If anyone out there happens to know the features editor, you
might, if you're very lucky, be able to harrass them into printing a
counter-feature in a few months' time, albeit at the cost of a friendship. Other
than that, forget it. Everyone else already has. And even if they haven't, the
first time they see you heaving a 50 yard hammer to your mate in the park,
they'll forget Time Out and be mesmerised.

love Rob
