    Unfortunately not an April 1st gag, the magazine is to close due to poor circulation :)
    My life is going to be so much emptier without getting to view India Reynolds, so can anyone recommend a good replacement?

    How are we supposed to identify complete wnakers at a glance if they can't purchase a copy of nuts?

    Now I only have Babestation and the sex scenes in GoT as reliable sources of soft core porn. Dammit.

    I know it's a different era but it reminds me of Loaded magazine (is that still around) and that whole wretched mid-90s Lad culture miasma of Blair and middle-class streaks of musical piss like Sleeper, Menswear and Dodgy pretending to be football hooligans.

    Loaded was a good magazine, lots of funny articles in it, doubt many used it to jizz off though sure thats what porn is for.

    Ew... horrible era.

    - TFI Friday
    - Ray Winston and east-end gang stuff being pounced on by posh lads
    - "Ladettes" like Denise Van Outen and Sara Cox and those chicks out of Sleeper and Echobelly (awful, AWFUL bands)
    - Everyone gettink into footie innit!
    - Robbie Williams pretending to be best mates with Oasis (cringe)
    - The "Choose life" monologue from Trainspotting being EVERYWHERE and getting rather tedious

    Wasn't there always a two-page spread of ridiculously expensive gadgets that no-one with any sense would ever buy? Like a miniature fridge with neon lights and internet connectivity or a remote controlled helicopter that you flew by using a program on your phone or something?
