You know the ones, magazines and magazine titles that make you yawn the minute they hit the door mat!

I'll start!

'Solids & Bulk'

Beat that one! 😆

I [i]think[/i] I'm remembering this right, but I would have sworn I talked to the man who set up "Solids & Bulk" at a party in the summer. He had also established other fascinating magazines, including one which was about the transportation and handling of margarine.

"Trusts & Trustees" is lethal.

'The Recruiter'

I'd gladly send some on here a copy just to see their blood boil.

My wife used to work on various paranormal, X Files and UFO titles many years ago. Not boring really but she didn't get much work done for laughing at all the fantastical claims.

I would love to work for something like Private Eye

🙂

I worked on the advertising desk of this magazine for a day once:

It was actually a lot more interesting than it sounds. There seems to be a bit of a crossover between land rover enthusiasts and military vehicles, and who doesn't fantasise about owning a tank?

I've worked on a bunch over the years. However, I never got a chance to work on the following:

The Sensible Potato (for potato farmers)

Crops (I seem to remember it being a Farmers' Weekly offshoot, and not that boring)

Routing Monthly
Grabber line: "The world's most versatile machine tool"

IBM Today
(OK, I did work for that one. I needed the money.)

Poultry Week (It published a calendar which was one of the most sought after items in the offices of Reed Business Information. Every month had a picture of a different chicken.)

Railway Gazette

11 posts and no one's said MBR?
'on topic' though, my NHS trust's training department has the Health Service Journal in the coffee room. Lordy, its dry!

'Solids & Bulk'

Something to do with infant eating and crapping habits?
