Loaded in the early days was a really good magazine. It was an integral part in that whole Britpop scene of the early to mid 90s. If you get a chance to read the former deputy editor's book (I forget his name - Tim something), I think you'd really enjoy it. People talk about the internet (and in Nuts's case, internet porn) signalling the end for print magazines. But I think there's more to it than that - nowadays you have Netflix, Amazon Prime, Spotify, Fantasy Football, online football forums, Tinder, Pokemon Go, Candy Crush Saga, Twitter, Facebook... When do you get a chance to go out and buy, and then read, magazines? But I still think a truly outstanding magazine could survive, and towards the end Nuts wasn't really that.

I can buy a copy of "Big Boys Take it up the Chuff" but I can no longer buy Loaded magazine. I can't help feeling that anybody who says they are PC really mean they are a Pathetic SYNT.

I spend a lot of time on Trains & Planes and OK magazine really is not my cup of tea. For that reason I spend a fortune on books with Amazon.
