Why are there so many loving magazines here still? I mean I'm at the grocery store right now and there's gotta be 100 different goddamn magazines here. The US used to have FHM, Maxim, and Stuff, but those all naturally went away when broadband internet was invented. But I'm sitting here staring at four different tit magazines. I mean I'm not complaining; this Lucy Pinder gal might be the hottest woman I've ever seen in my life, but it still perplexes me. Why is the paper magazine industry so bustling in the UK? I'd love to know the science behind it. I mean I'm right now thumbing through four different video game magazines! FOUR! How the hell is that possible?? Do brits still get their game demos from cd ROMs? Again not a complaint, just an observation that I would like some light shed onto.

A proper Brit loves the glossy feel of a magazine as he jellies his eel.

Good lord, Lucy Pinder was the "here are boobs for you to look at as you select a flapjack" woman when I was in England 15 years ago; have they really stagnated this much? I bet if you went to a Barnes & Noble in America you would still see like 100 magazines, though. I am always confused by how many still exist every time I randomly end up there Not to say you are wrong. Newsagents look basically the same now as they did in pictures 50 years ago

It's mandated by the queen, who loves lad mags. When she dies the industry is doomed.

I feel like British people must have a silly British slang term for magazines, but I don't know what it is. Pagey wagies? Flippitygubbins? Periodactyls? Help us out, UK goons.

We do love a good magazine. It makes us feel classy.  A lot of the gaming magazines now are aimed at the collector market, you still have the official magazines for consoles, but those are basically ads now, but you do get some interesting titles aimed at more niche demographics, iirc.

This Alice Goodwin chick really hosed her face up. Hot drat she was a 10 before. Why they gotta gently caress wit plastic surgery? What's in the water over there causing such massive jugs?

Super specific magazines are funny. My dad reads a magazine about porsches and a magazine about freight shipping. Like who the hell reads a magazine about freight ships for fun?

those kinda ultra specific magazines like Contemporary Sock Darning have always made me sad for some reason. i assume low readership and they tend to reaffirm my lack of interest in anything

when i was a kid i bought a copy of the british version of PC Gamer because I didn't understand the concept of two different things having the same name. The writing was all stupid and british but there were bare tits in the adverts so overall I think UK magazines are superior.

Lucy Pinder has big fat titties and is really only a google search away. Its probably better than eating peas served in newspaper or watching The Ashes

for a long time the only way to get porn in the uk was to find discarded magazines left in bus shelters and under hedges and use those to masturbate so common was this that many uk men developed the ability to only become aroused when looking at glossy paper - it's been scientifically proven that computer screens do not have the ability to activate a british man's sex drive

Have a good time in Britland. Make sure to watch an episode of Countdown, talk to at least one Welsh person, and eat some Tunnocks and Maltesers before you return to the safety of Another Country.

I read a British People Magazine way back in the 90s (in England People Magazine is/was soft core porn) and they called nipples "norks" in it. "Her rubbery norks" is the phrase I remember. Anyways do they still call them norks and if they do could you stop them from doing that?
