I usually read New Scientist and Reader's Digest and I get Radio Times every week for the radio programme listings (I don't have a TV) and for the puzzles on its back page. I also buy computer magazines if I see one which looks interesting.

I only read women's magazines if I'm stuck in a doctor's or dentist's waiting room and there's absolutely nothing else. Half of the ones published are aimed at married women with families and the rest are nothing but trivia about celebs I've never heard of and really couldn't care less about or full of articles about sex and fashion for people who are half my age with twice as much money .
