Hi everyone, my name is Mutt K and I think I'm a magaholic. It all started when I were a nipper with the Beano and Look and Learn. I then progressed through The Brtish Empire and The History of Aviation to Cars and Car Conversions and Custom Car, the latter in those pre PC days when ladies without vests were sat upon the rod of the month (phnarr phnarr).

Now in addition to weekly professional publications for work and the glossy lifestyle/estate agent freebies that rain through the letterbox in these parts, I also read every month:

Car
911 & Porsche World
Porsche Post - comes with PCGB membership so maybe doesn't count!
Cycling Plus
Mountain Bike Rider
Q
GQ
Private Eye

Does anyone read more? Is there a cure, apart from stopping DD payments?

Not any longer but I used to read each month :-

Autosport
Motorsport
CAR
F1 Racing
GQ
FHM
Top Gear
PC Zone
PC Format
and Classic & Sportscar

with the occasional extra different mag if I liked the look of it (eg. the gadget mags) . Actually the PC mags CAR and FHM/GQ weren't subscription, but I still bought them each month.

Edited to add F1 Racing

I was worse than you, but I have tried to cut down. I tried cold turkey - but could only manage 1 week without a mag.

I am now down to:

Autocar every week
IT Week every week
Computing every week - dull
Top Gear every month
PC Pro every month
Car every other month
Evo every other month
What HiFi every other month
Country Life every now and again

Porsche mags every now and again
GQ once a year maybe..

Funny you should say that as I read my first ever copy of Evo whilst travelling over the Christmas period and I am trying hard to resist temptation. And I see from the Porsche pages of PH that there is a new 911 magazine coming. I'm doomed!

I used to subscribe to FHM and Maxim.
The tall tales of heroic adventures have been replaced with piccies of boobies. I don't mind such piccies but I can find enough piccies anyway on the interweb. I want to read something more entertaining then Scabby Titmus talking about sexual problems.

GQ is this months magazine of choice..
