A local tradie has paid a touching tribute to the iconic Picture magazine today.

After news broke that the magazine would be winding up at the end of the year, 44-year-old concreter Jason Thomas decided to pay his respects by flying his Eeels flag at half-mast.

“It’s fucked mate,” said the Betoota Heights local who is still recovering from the loss of Zoo magazine a few years on.

“Another win for the PC police hey. Can’t have a good honest magazine in a servo anymore,” said the saddened tradie out the front of the job site.

Thomas says he’s taken the news of the magazine closing down rather poorly today.

“Sorry I’m not like the apprentices and I can’t just sit playing some fucking game on my phone all through smoko,” he said.

“I guess I’m all in on Instagram now,” sighed the father of two who has slowly transitioned from getting his softcore pornography from the traditional hard copy medium to Instagram in recent times.

“You don’t get the stories on Instagram though.”

“I don’t understand why all the good things have to be ruined,” he said before the plumber walked past the lowered flag and yelled out; “What’s the matter Parramatttttttaaaaaaaaaaaa (sic)” and he walked off.
