Honey Honey Posted January 2, 2018 Share Posted January 2, 2018 I saw a magazine in Tesco today specifically for Serial Killers or it might have been for people into crime stories, either or, looked to be marketed to the serial killer though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr. Gonzo Posted January 3, 2018 Share Posted January 3, 2018 What in the fuck is this Girls & Corpses magazine? I'm subscribed to a guitar magazine - Premium Guitar. It's mostly ads, some gear reviews - which I always like reading even if I'm not going to buy anything, and then guitarist interviews, album reviews and/or discussion, tabs, usually some form of technique lesson or something about setting up the guitar or shit like that. Good mindless reading if you like guitars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pig on the Wing Posted January 3, 2018 Share Posted January 3, 2018 I'm quite surprised to see that none of our British members read 'When Saturday Comes', as it's a class football magazine that: - Is full of well-written, interesting articles on all sorts of topics within football - Gives extensive coverage to British clubs outside of Sky's top 6 Genuinely an entertaining read - I started reading a few years ago if I was ever at a WHSmith's in a train station/airport and got myself a subscription last year. Maybe I'm just a bitter Wanderer who has hit middle age prematurely but I find it's one of very few impartial and funny football publications out there. Oh, and Private Eye is wonderful too.

Keep your eyes peeled, it's well worth £3 a month. Admittedly it's not on every corner shop's magazine stand.

Subscriber Viva la FCB+ Posted January 3, 2018 Subscriber Share Posted January 3, 2018 Enough with all the smut I've had a subscription for a Canadian company Photo Life for the passed 6 years, they put out 6 a year. Really love getting the physical copies to enjoy the pictures and articles. I got turned onto it by an old teacher when i took a night school course to refresh my lack of skills in photography years ago. Anyways its great; they have spotlights on specific photographers, tips and tricks, reviews of hardware and contests. https://www.photolife.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The majority just focus on gear reviews, which is not really what I'm looking for, as it feels like reading advertisements rather than articles... Others are either too artsy, too much into post-processing, or just not really useful. My favourite one so far is Nature Photographer (it's also Canadian, btw!), I can only get digital copies of course, which sucks, but the magazine itself is really great. Only 3 issues a year (Spring - Summer - Fall/Winter), few ads, amazing photographs. I will check Photolife out, thanks for sharing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluewolf Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 There really are some weird ones out there... These ones made me laugh What on earth would people make of you if you had a big stack of these by the door when they walked in or scattered across living room table... Given the subject matter as well how do they keep afloat each month?? Maybe they have a Potato Carving special every other month running alongside 'Readers funny shaped Potato Gallery' that keeps people coming back I don't know... Still better though than getting caught flicking through the 'Corpse Bride Special' I suppose... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Subscriber nudge+ Posted January 4, 2018 Author Subscriber Share Posted January 4, 2018 I can understand the reasoning behind that Potato magazine, it's a very niche industry-specific one, but certainly there are enough people in agriculture who could be interested in it. That fencepost one though... No idea Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You did, I don't think I made it to the end because after missing one issue that was it really. It was also about £4.99 back then 20 years ago, I don't think the father was impressed, at first he probably bought it thinking it would be educational, in the end he remortgaged the house Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember back then thinking what a con it all was, £5 for a cog and 2 bits of copper wire and a lifetimes subscription... I am sure the small print on the back states that completion time will be around age 74 but no bugger reads that do they... I do believe we have a one or two un-opened issues in the loft still and the shell of the car... might whack them on E-bay.. must be someone out there seeking closure on their project...

Administrator Stan Posted April 4, 2018 Administrator Share Posted April 4, 2018 Brian Cox is an absolute legend. He speaks with so much calmness and assertiveness at the same time and I always love hearing what he has to say. The Stargazing programme he does with Dara O'Briain blows my mind every time.
