Magazines that people find boring but

[Greedo]

you actually hand over your cash for. And actually look forward to buying.

I'm really into my wine and have put myself through courses to learn more over the last few years and I buy a magazine called Decanter.

My wife and anybody else who comes round to the house and sees it lying about thinks it is possibly the most boring thing on the planet. Each to their own i suppose.

Saying that though I've never had anyone complain about a glass of wine I've given them.

I bought dozens of Land Rover magazines until I realised that there's only so much you can write about Land Rovers. There are actually four of these magazines competing every month for their limited market!

I buy Singletrackworld because it's good and Private Eye because it deserves supporting.

I normally buy The Big Issue when I'm out and about in town. Some of the articles are quite interesting, others are sort of arty London-centric and not my cup of tea.

I am often surprised at some of the magazine titles in Smiths and the like. Especially the ones for railway enthusiasts, but especially standing out for me was "Carp World"

Then again, I am sure that lots fisherman and model makers stand there thinking, why is there so many cycling mags, it's only two wheels and some tubing.

User76 talking carp! I took this snap in Tesco at the weekend - had it in mind for publishing 'mid sentence' but here it seems appropriate...ish

I used to buy the first one of 'interesting' mags that hit the shelves... Cosmopolitan, Wallpaper (Got 1 & 2 ready for ebaying etc etc) Metropolitan Living, blah blah- I could never understand the point of mags like 'The Lady' - but now, in my dotage, I read the small ads and dream of being a live-in butler / handyman etc.

I love Wallpaper. Total snobby but I don't care.

Total Carp - what a classic!
And to think they talk total carp from cover to cover.

I'll try and take a look at some of the farming titles we have in our local newsagent (where I live is pretty rural).

I'm sure there's a big tractor test in one of them this month...

Some of the Trade / Institute publications are very interesting! , I subscrbe to Concrete magazine. (I am involved in construction materials technology)

Anyone ever buy one of those "build your own WWII battleship" type magazines by Del Prado? Issue 1 is always 99p (normally 3.50) and comes with a gun turret on the front cover.

Hey presto, 2 years and £6,000 later you have a model boat worth a fiver.

Cycling Plus. You should hear the howls of laughter when I start reading it in the staff room. "What, a whole magazine about bikes? They're all the same aren't they?". Then they start on the lycra, "Do you read a lot of magazines about men in lycra?", then some smartarse'll lean across "ohh, nice forks" etc etc Honestly, I'd get less flack if I read Playboy.

So what's hot in the wine world just now Greedo? I used to be in the wine trade but have let my knowledge slip a fair bit over the past few years.

I've not had a look at Decanter for ages. Must get my hands on a copy - it's a good read.
