I read FHM regardless who is on/in it.OH buys I read it.They usually have a good meaty artical in there about gun runners or whatever also they used to do a thing about injuries.Maybe not fun but definatly a 'Uuuurrrggghh!' moment.
If May is in it call it a bonus.

Is FHM a British version of Playboy, or is it more like Penthouse?  |

I believe Liverbird said it was like our Cosmopolitan only a man's version.

I've never read it properly but it does seem to be full of lots of ladies 'bits', the bigger the better! It's a 'top shelf' magazine, and some newsagents stick labels on the...er....finer points!

Getoff! If you recon that is porn you've either had a very sheltered life or you've become Mary Whitehouse. They do have some woman with their 'bits out' but so do the crappy papers.Also it is not a top shelf magazine either. It has cars,women and features about criminals,cartels and many other bloke type things. Oh and it also has clothing and shaving advise in.I don't think porn magazines tell you how to look nice.  |

I didn't use the word porn because I don't think it is. To be fair, I did say I've never read the magazine properly. I've picked up the impression of its content from websites and its own advertising. And I'm certainly not a Mary Whitehouse, as may be apparent from a great deal of the posts I've made on here - probably the majority, actually!
I have no issue whatsoever with adults being able to access/read/watch whatever they want, within legality, but I personally object to magazine covers of pneumatic females with virtually no clothes on being displayed in supermarkets at the eye level of five-year-olds. Perhaps it's the teacher in me coming out. Yes, I'm sure there are interesting and useful articles, it's the images of women and their impact on young minds that concern me. Sorry if that makes me a party-pooper.

In all fairness Dit you did actually say 'It's a top shelf' magazine now to my knowledge top-shelf mags are the soft porn kind. Plus in your first quote you didn't mention anything about concern for children and the images that magazines project. Yes you did say you hadn't read it,if you did you'd find it quite funny however that's not the point I want to make. As the images of half naked woman on the front pages seem to bother you (and there effect on children) what would you consider to be a good cover? As I've said many times my area is in the fashion industry and yes I know all about the skinny pics and teenagers but that is another problem completely.As a mum I wouldn't be happy at all with my daughter being familiar with nude pictures when she was little. My question is what is the most acceptable cover front for a magazine? This one i1213.photobucket.com/albums/cc473/piggymonkey/voguecover5.jpgthat appeared on the front of Vogue or this i1213.photobucket.com/albums/cc473/piggymonkey/cover3.pngthat is a FHM cover? i1213.photobucket.com/albums/cc473/piggymonkey/voguecovers.jpgi1213.photobucket.com/albums/cc473/piggymonkey/COSMO-July2010.jpgi1213.photobucket.com/albums/cc473/piggymonkey/cover2.jpgIMO there seems little difference in the images and most of the publications are on the same shelves in the supermarket. Plus to extend my point you can go into M&S and see pictures of models parading their bodies in swimming costumes. Teacher or not Dit you don't have to like the nakedness of the pictures, kids are used to these images(right or wrong),but I know my own always went for the Barbie,Bratz or comics instead of asking about 'the lady with the bits'.  (BTW lets get it back on track for what this thread is for I've had my say and I consider it dropped.  Still lov ya Dit!) |

imho, nowadays there is too much nakedness in mags anyway. I don't mind personally, but I am a grown up, and I can imagine it will change the way a young child will see the human body and/or the way we dress / are supposed to dress. It almost seems normal that women walk around in their undies rather than jeans and a jumper |

I'm more than prepared to drop the subject too, antonia. We must have had this interview in the past, but I can't see it on here. Warning - if you are sensitive to Mr May's domestic arrangements, don't read the last question and answer! www.scotsman.com/news/interview_james_may_1_1355747# |

Just to round off the FHM thing, I think the link led to a site for South Africa/Zimbabwe. We can comfort ourselves with the thought that any interview with James appearing in a SA issue of a magazine probably only covers stuff we've already seen over here.

That is a rather nice little interview.
The cardboard box thing just reminds me of that Simpson's episode when they visit the cardboard box factory!
I love this one
What's the best piece of advice you've ever been given?
"Stop!" My mate said this as I was about to drive into the back of a taxi. I was too busy looking up at an aeroplane
basically cos I am exactly the same.
I'm easily distracted!

From the interview: "What are you afraid of?" "Being found out. And heights. I'm in quite a tall building at the moment and I'm staying away from the window." I wonder what he meant by that. Not the part about heights but the "Being found out." part. I wonder if it is a reference to an innate sense of insecurity that many people have? |

I think a lot of successful people wonder whether they have got to where they are by their merits, or whether they were just lucky in being in the right place at the right time. I think it's probably a combination of the two in some proportion or other, in most cases.

I agree Dit. I think he understands he's an ordinary bloke who has lucked upon a medium he excels at, and he's concerned people are going to realise it and pull him off the pedestal (as if!). Dare I say it, Ben Collins refers to Clarkson as "a force of nature" while Hammond and May are "pretty regular guys who happen to be superb at presenting information to camera." No need to fear James, we found you out ages ago, and love you for it!

I think they all had to work to get where they are now. They know their stuff and have proved it. I liken Jeremy to Jay Leno whom I follow on Twitter since I don't watch the show. If you look at TG they all have opinions that are controversial, they just voice them in different ways. I don't think I could admire a person without brains and brawn, man or woman.
