Buying Magazines
 
I miss my mags from back home, FourFourTwo, FHM etc etc

So yesterday I took myself out for lunch, bought Q magazine and had some nice food and a good read, I'd forgotten what decent journalism was like, some great interviews and suchlike,

only problem?

Q mag cost me a tenner.

Jesus....:confused:

Seen the bit in the Guardian this week? Apparently Top Gear has been linked to the arms trade.

Encouraging people to buy tanks over Range Rovers? Maybe Eurofighters? Glamorising the Apache attack helicopter? No. Pay careful attention this gets a bit tenious:

Gosh, can you believe those boys? Probably getting paid million to sell tanks and jets!

Damn, I was going to try and haggle down a Eurofighter for the commute to work :(. Why can't I have my very own Eurofighter? *Stomps feet*

As usual Guardian tosh, I really dont know who reads that paper ;).

Good looking well mannered men, interested in health and fitness, consider shopping to be fun, have nice houses that are tastefully decorated, mix in the right social circles, make you feel totally at easy due to an utter lack of needyness most men have?

Suspicious IMO! ;)
