Magazines you used to buy

[Elite]

FHM, LOADED etc

 

The odd PS1 magazine.

 

Never had to buy a porn mag, part of the internet generation. Although I doubt I'd have the bottle too anyway, unless it was in a empty garage with a male clerk!

[Uncle_Meat]

Ahh. Porn mags. That reminds me. Apart from the Porn Fairy who used to leave odd pages in bushes, there was a newsagents in town (on that road between TJs and the Royal) where you could get out of date but new (with the front cover torn off) porn mags for 20p or so. Many happy memories of arguing with my mates about whose turn it was to go in and get a couple of men only or Fiesta from there.

 

Talking of old porn, when I used to work with Progressive Radio in their old place on Dale Street, the upstairs of that shop was an old flat that they used to store junk. Used to go up hunting for old valves and the like and, amongst all that lot, there was a load of boxes with the most comprehensive collection of dodgy 70s porn mags known to man. I should have laid claim to that when I had the chance.

I used to have a mighty haul of magazines, it consisted of approx 589 copies of issue one from various weekly magazines. I amassed an array of goodies including a steering wheel, the sail of a boat, the femur of a dinsoaur, a 4" piece of rail track and a miniature chest of drawers. Oh and a piece of the foundation for the North Twin tower (kind of glad I never bothered with that one now, turns out issue one was enough to complete the model).

2000AD

Crash

Zzap!

C&VG

NMW

Melody Maker

Loaded (when it was good)

 

Then was in a job/ career when I got them all free, but if I was at a train station and stuck for something to read: GQ or Arena.

 

I occasionally by the odd gaming magazine, and still pick up 2000AD now and again.

[stringvest]

Nme, melody maker and occasionally sounds. Bought q religiously when it came out, only buy it infrequently now. Occasionally pick up old men mags like mojo and men's health for the free rub on aftershaves....

 

Now trade mags, and Private eye, new scientist, spectator and the economist (normally get that free in the airport). Been buying lots of housebuilding / renovation stuff lately as well. Bricky porn.

 

And, of course, the greatest of them all - TLW.

[Lee909]

I have loads up stairs,nearly all Ring Magazine and boxing monthly some go back as far as the 50's.

The reason I liked Saving Private Ryan so much was that it reminded of the classic Commando books I'd read as a kid.

 

Like most Commando stories, it had a big start to introduce the main players, a quieter middle, some people who disliked each other grew to form friendships in the heat of battle, then a big fuck-off crescendo of a finale where one or two of the main characters were guaranteed to get killed.

 

And not forgetting the educational value. Those books also helped me learn some nifty German and Japanese phrases:

Uuurgh, Aaieeee, Donner und Blitzen, Hande Hoch Englander Schweinhund, Banzai and Jawhol Herr Hauptman being just a few.

[Guest TK-421]

Loved the in jokes and language of zzap and mean machines. I will take "cakka gibbon" to the grave. digitiser moved it up a few levels. Yes it did, love. You see?

[gumps]

Look-in? They used to have ace (well seemed ace) comic strips of all the top TV shows of the 70's

 

Speaking of Match. When it first came out they used to do a fantasy football sort of thing with computerised results and report of the match. They used made up teams with proper teams joined together like Liverpool & Everton to make Merseyside UTD or something.

When I was first posted to Germany back in 1981 the German women were not impressed by my chat up lines.

All of those are appropriate for the different stages of coitus though. Try them next time you get the chance. And don't forget to shout Awooga and pat her on the fanny on the way out.

Was it shoot that had league ladders too?

Always remember that April Fool edition of Shoot in 1989 or so that had Rushie on the cover in an Everton top.

 

And then inside: "Ian Rush sign for Everton? Neverton!"

 

I still smile now thinking of how many Bitters were, even for a few seconds, duped.

I picked up a copy in Streatham recently. It's not the same since they stopped writing about football and started on all this rap music, 'bling', trainers and 'pimping'.

I suppose that's because the majority of footballers like terrible rap music, bling and pimping.

 

Even the WHITE ONES!

 

Another reason to hate footballers, like there weren't enough already

I don't think it would turn the missus on if I screamed "Mein Gott im Himmel" when shagging her.

[silverlining]

I dunno.

 

Mine loves it when I say:

 

"For you, Tommy, Ze war is over!"

 

just before coming all over her tits.

'Play up Liverton!'

 

 

That reminds me of those epic F______l Picture Story Monthly comics from the people who did Beano and Dandy, many of them had stories featuring "Liverton" and their great rivals "Everpool".

 

I found my collection of those a while back and I noticed that the cobbled-together team names had irked me so much at the time that I'd amended a few of the comics with biro to give them real names. What an odd child I was.
