Earthworm daily.

Elbaston

Rusted spring collector monthly.
Flaming chariot driver weekly.
Beard and pipe magazine.
Clown shoe magazine - collectors edition.
The complete guide to buying an iPhone. (cause people who buy high range phones tend to rely on paper media that costs 6 euro).
Guide to Apps. (cause its that complicated)


Ever time I go into easons/other stationary shop and have a look around at the magazines the mind boggles, who the fff buys this crap, why are there 5 varieties tractor related magazines or 20 copies of various yachting magazines (maybe they signed up for this during the celtic tiger and forgot that we sold our yachts). This is in a shopping centre, fair enough with a high population catchment area but can there really be enough enthusiasts locally to justify 20 copies of vintage scooter magazine.
Add to this the fact that you can just stand there and read magazines for free.

How can they make any money ? Where do these weird subcultures of motor-trike enthusiasts exist.
And do you buy bizarre magazines ?

[/rant] I had to ask. someone had to eventually.

I buy Performance Bikes and, somewhat less regularly, Old Ford Sh!theap Monthly, a.k.a. Retro Ford. :cool:

Is the title of the thread a dietary magazine?

I would certainly buy that!

While I don't consider it bizarre, although some might, I like Wisden Cricket monthly. Where I live, however, the most popular bookshop doesn't stock it and as I would not necessarily read it every month I haven't ordered it.

Tattoo monthly or some such title I would consider bizarre as, surely, the tattoo artist would have examples of his/her work for aspiring tattooees without having to resort to a magazine for inspiration.

I liked Earthworm Jim.

Retro Ford ??

Each to his own I suppose. No criticism intended, but I can't imagine why.

For the sheer and unadulterated hell of it, my dear fellow. Because it's there, maaaaan. Because if I don't some other old fool with romantic notions of past glories, push-starting on piss-wet mornings and spun journal bearings will. An elegant weapon, for a more civilised age. :cool:

I assume Earthworm Daily has an exactly equal male/female readership.

I started singing "Earthworm Jim, he rocket's through the sky" in my head...
I loved that cartoon..

Bit of an escoteric joke there (re: earthworm hermaphroditism)....

They're there so that "Have I got News for You" can rip the piss out of them.

The earthworm daily problem page would make interesting reading.

I think my other half is gay..."

It was suffering the ignominious fate of all shit, nerd jokes until you gave me some pity affirmation.

I love you.


Not in a Roman bathhouse way.

I'd buy some of the tattoo magazines because they have some savage artwork in them, not the Cheryl Cole slapped arse type ink, but talented and attractive artwork.

I buy the computer magazines then because sometimes I get all square eyed reading hardware and software reviews on a screen, sometimes it's nicer just to flick through the pages and read back on something rather than the whole bookmarking, stumbledupon, pinterest nonsense.

I got a pretty good deal on subscriptions the other day - $2 for a year's worth of magazines delivered. Rude not to.

Rolling Stone
Wine Spectator
Food and Wine
Wired

I bet I forget to cancel.

Would the fitness section have a feature on Earthworm Gyms ?

The cost of printing an extra copy of a magazine is very low, so it doesn't matter that lots of them are unsold
