OK, back after a tough week and many apologies for
radio silence hereabouts.
So, there's a new men's magazine on the stocks. Called 'Cut' it takes most of its content from other papers, hence the title.
And sadly it's one of the tits'n'bums spectacular variety yet again. Pics of scantily-clad women, gadgets, a bit of sport (as long as we assume footie is the only sport, which isn't quite right in this Olympic season) and that's about it.
I'm not objecting through prudery. I have no objection to semi-naked women, but if I want them there are plenty of places I can go already. What I'd really like, though, is some sign that there's a bit more for those of us who actually quite like reading - a non-political version of the New Statesman or The Spectator would, it seems to me, fill a neat gap in the market.
