Recently subscribed to "The Herb Companion" and love it. They have a good presence online. Used to subscribe to "Herbs for Health" by the same publishers but that no longer exists. I'd like to see a wild edible plants/foragers mag come out with lots of plant pix.

I don't. We buy the cheapest of the Full House, Take a Break type fodder when we've got spare change. Always on the look out for a good incest story.

I'm gonna get my lady the National Geographic 12 month subscription as part of her birthday present.

I just found two new favorites at the Dr's office today. Flea market style and Backyard Solutions. They both have great ideas in them.

Entertainment Weekly ...I think that's all at the moment.

I've cut back or more specifically, a child of someone in my family or perhaps a neighbor has not solicited me for magazine subscriptions recently. How can I say "no"?

The only magazine I ever buy is Time, and that's probably once every six months when I'm travelling.

Well my dad gets The Week, which is pretty interesting, I really just skip anything about politics though. Or anything boring, which is 90% of it, to me. But I'm upset that they had an article calling MJ a "monster" and stuff like that. He's not a monster. Not everyone has to fawn over him, that would be hypocritical because he was just a joke for such a long time, but wow. It hurt.

I used to get Spider, a magazine for kids with stories, but I grew out of it. Well, I could still read it, but I guess if I really want I can go to the library.

BBC Good Food Magazine. I also subscribed to Beyond Magazine, but it got cancelled.

I'm a fan of Ian Hislop and have tried reading this a couple of times, but I can't make head nor tail of it to be honest. It seems like you have to know a lot of in-jokes/obscure political facts.

Some of the contents will be obscure... you certainly have to know your stuff. There are a few sections that I never read, mainly because I've got no interest (for instance, there's a section devoted to dodgy goings on in the world of architecture called "Nooks and Corners")

Aside from knowing the major players in the cabinet and shadow cabinet (and whether or not they hate each other), the most important thing to know in order to appreciate Private Eye is the ownership of newspapers and what that means for their editorship.

But a lot of it is just harmless fun. Colemanballs has been a regular feature for years and features mixed metaphors, mangled English or general stupidity (e.g Fern Britten earnestly asking someone, "Did your great-grandfather have any children?" and Pseud's Corner which pokes fun at pretentious use of language (e.g. Emily Maitlis in the Sunday Telegraph writing, "Zebra Crossings. They're so deliciously melodramatic as a design concept")

 * laughing out loud * I think I need to brush up on my newspaper ownership knowledge, but I may well give it another bash. I heard that Ian Hislop is the most sued man in Britain, so it should definitely be interesting reading, should I be able to get my head around it!

 * smile * . OK, I'll do you a deal. If you buy the latest issue of Private Eye and read it, I'll answer any question you have.

Not exactly a magazine, and I don't exactly subscribe (I'm sent it as a member of the British Medical Association, the doctors union) but I do get the British Medical Journal (Student version). In terms of actual magazines, I only read them when I'm at my Mum's - she gets Scientific American, New Scientist, Good Food and The Radio Times and I tend to at least flip through them.

It's been about ten years since I bought a magazine.
