Nuts is a weekly men’s magazine which is now about 2 months into it’s lifespan. And in my opinion, it should be put down in order to ease the suffering… of the readers.

I bought the latest copy today (actually last weeks copy… new copy out every Thursday) on impulse; I like to have a magazine around to dip into every now and again and wanted to see how this new name had panned out. I’ve seen Nuts on ... ...it takes to get into Nuts as a feature. As it transpires, the variety of spitting techniques employed by today’s top flight football stars and a Renault 5 sporting £25,000 worth of stereo are feature-worthy for this week.
Roll on next week is all I can say.
***TV guide***
A sure-fire way to get a few more pages filled up. Once again we see more bristols, cars and sportsmen.
Nuts is a weekly men’s magazine which is now about 2 months into it’s lifespan. And in my opinion, it should be put down in order to ease the suffering… of the readers.
***Sex appeal***
I bought the latest copy today (actually last weeks copy… new copy out every Thursday) on impulse; I like to have a magazine around to dip into every now and again and wanted to see how this new name had panned out. I’ve seen Nuts on the shelves of the supermarket every week and had noticed that most of the cover photos (the main photo is always of a featured ‘babe’) were familiar… I’d seen them today. Same with this issue – Denise van Outen – but nevertheless I parted with my £1.20, probably because I am (quote Anita) ‘an advertisers dream’ and have found the TV ad campaign quite witty.
The cover has a very tabloid look, with a bright red logo and pictures of women, cars, sport and the like. All very red blooded! ‘100 pages of brilliant stuff for men’ it exclaims… which is true if you include both front and back cover! Must have been a short news week, eh?
***Between the sheets***
Not much to stir the passion, unfortunately. The magazine is split into four sections: News (ha!), Features, TV guide and Sport. Let’s get this over with…
***News***
Now don’t be fooled by this. I wasn’t expecting an in-depth analysis of the economy, but the news section this week leads with a 2-page spread on a stuntman who drove a motorbike into a breezeblock wall. Less than a ninth of one page is devoted to the written account of the earth-shattering event. The rest is a picture by picture account of exactly how he did it. Man gets on bike, man drives bike, hits brick wall, land on other side. Fills you with a verve to plough on, doesn’t it? All a con anyway… the bricks weren’t cemented together. Perhaps they should have been and we could have been done.
The remainder of the 31-page news section is taken up with riveting tales that I’m sure have been pulled from tabloid newspapers and the like… some do look familiar. Footballers, cars, stereos… lost interest yet… ok, throw in a page of a sexy lady with her norks out… gory pictures etc etc. Did you know, for example, that Rio Ferdinand eats at a greasy spoon in Mosside and one of his favourite dishes is goat curry. Must be true, Ron the proprietor said so. Top sources.
As with the stuntman article, many of the items deemed newsworthy filled a 2-page spread, with a few lines of drivel in one corner, the rest of the space devoted to pictures. “We have 100 pages to fill, boys, and by jiminy we’re gonna fill ‘em.”
***Features***
Just shy of 20 pages of more boobs, footballers, cars, amputee stuntmen (really!) etc etc. I think you get the drift. There is a very fine line between news and features… News is nonsense that has gone off recently; features are things to fill up pages 32-49. I’m not overly certain what it takes to get into Nuts as a feature. As it transpires, the variety of spitting techniques employed by today’s top flight football stars and a Renault 5 sporting £25,000 worth of stereo are feature-worthy for this week.
Roll on next week is all I can say.
***TV guide***
A sure-fire way to get a few more pages filled up. Once again we see more bristols, cars and sportsmen.
Each day the terrestrial viewing feast is spread over 2 pages. One page gives the listings, the other Nuts’ picks of the day. All things supposed to get lads to turn over when their other half is watching Corrie.
There then follows a load of satellite and cable pages… I’m sure I’m not the only person who never looks at them… and 2 pages of the worst dvd, album, film and book reviews I’ve ever seen (and I’ve been on here a long time!) They are called ‘10 second reviews’… utterly pointless.
***Sport***
Wow. We’ve just had the TV section; now we get 2 pages filled with what sport we can expect to see on TV this week. They obviously don’t expect you to look through the satellite listings either, so they’ve done a potted version.
We are then treated to a reasonable 4-page Formula 1 article… all very well, but I’m not a big fan, so the only bit worth reading gets a quick scan for the purposes of this review. I suppose you could say they saved their (rather weak) best till last!
The magazine ends with the usual nonsense… letters (hilarious), jokes (side-splitting) and funny pictures, possibly the only thing in the magazine to make me smile. Or was that because it was the last page of the magazine. Sorry, page 99… the last page is the outside back cover, nearly forgot. Any news lurking there… what do you think?
***Website and other rubbish***
There is a website, even less entertaining than the paper version. If you really must, the following 2 addresses (in case you’re stupid) lead to it. www.nuts.co.uk www.nutsmag.co.uk
There is a prize of a camera phone for the letter of the week, but I shan’t be bothering. I reckon my IQ is way too high at 79.
***Summary***
An over-priced pile of regurgitated bilge! Reading age requirement… 11. Picture content… greater than Janet and John books.
Nuts – if I ever buy this again, then yes. I probably am.
Advantages: Weekly Disadvantages: Not much new ground covered
New out this year, Nuts magazine promised to give us guys what we want in a men’s mag on a weekly basis. I’m guessing they are trying to sneak into a gap in the market left due to the fact that the main players are all monthly versions like Loaded and FHM. They started life with a bang and not content with a blazing advertising campaign on TV, they offered the first magazine free and then the next few editions at half price (sixty pence). I enjoy ... ...two already mentioned so couldn’t resist seeing if this weekly version could compete and possibly fill the gap until the following month.
The magazine is always around one hundred pages long but has only a few adverts, which is a bonus. Each week it is based around the same sections; news, features, TV, regulars and sport. The quality of the journalism is quite high and in the issue I have in front of me the main articles include stories on the ...

~0~ Nuts ~0~
Think of mens magazines and what comes to mind ? The top shelf brigade made up of the likes of Penthouse , Knave and Razzle etc.etc. , you know , the all tit no action cheap thrill for males who lack a lot , think they are Gods gift to women and can't find a woman to save their life , yet ironically make up 99.9% of the single male population ( of course I'm perfect ! ) .
Well not no more , for here comes Nuts , a strange title for ... ...Goolies or Balls !
Nuts is a new weekly magazine aimed at the male market , and was launched on 16th Jan. 2004 by IPC Media Limited . The magazine cover proclaims it is the worlds first men's weekly and the editorial says that "we asked blokes around Britain what they wanted from a magazine and you hold it in your hands the answer" - by that they mean the magazine not the sausage meat that accompanies the nuts that in turn make the stuffing .

What is Nuts magazine?
Nuts magazine, is a magazine published on a weekly basis every Wednesday for men, the publishment is sold and distributed in all good newsagents or newspaper/magazine selling shops, at a cost of only £1.20 GBP, although sometimes this varies due to special offers. Each week, the magazine is absoloutley jam-packed with information, jokes, pictures and articles, to keep members of both sexes entertained for ... ...John Leslies career, and how Nuts entered, but, surprisingly, failed!
3. "Spambank" - A collection of edited pictures, or sometimes not edited! and jokes - But although they are often funny, the pictures in spambank can be repeated, and this lets down the magazine greatly, although i have only seen this happen once, (Well 3 times really, a picture was in the spambank section 3 weeks in a row!). For Big Brother fans, the last issue had a special ...

Advantages: Amusing, cheap, nice TV guide Disadvantages: Sexiest, light weight
This is a glossy weekly magazine aimed at men. The target readership is probably lads rather than men. The magazine is largely based around various women in states of undress. Some of the women are famous and others are “reader’s wives” types where a normal girl is given some make-up tips and nice lingerie to pose in. In addition to women it also has various jokes and humours articles. These are quite amusing in a laddish sort of way. There are also ... ...internet. Many of the articles are to do with sex or sexual situations.
The magazine also has some sports articles and some gadgets. It seems that us guys are obsessed by watching sports and boy toys!
I think this magazine is likely to appeal to a Loaded reader. However the style is quite lightweight and there are no really deep articles. Unless you are a slow reader it is not going to take much more than half an hour to read cover to cover. Probably ...

~ ~ It?ll come as no big surprise to my regular readers that the mad cabbie is a complete, total and utter golfing nut.
I play the game as often as I possibly can, and when I?m not on the golf course one of my regular hangouts is my local driving range, where I can often be found happily pounding little white balls long into the dark winter nights. (It?s floodlit)
When I?m not actually playing the game, then I?ll often be found either writing about it (here at Ciao and elsewhere) or else reading other people?s views about the sport.
~ ~ There are lots of excellent golf websites on the Web, which are firmly ensconced in my ?favourites? box, and which I read on a regular basis.
But that said, nothing really beats a glossy magazine for a good read. And one of the best golfing mags on the UK and Ireland market is ?Golf World?, which ...

Advantages: well-thought out advert Disadvantages: kelloggs are stingy
Crunchy Nut Cornflakes - doncha just love em?? Unless you're allergic to nuts, I suppose. They're a little on the expensive side, but they are very tasty, very moreish. I don't think they can be very healthy, what with all that honey smeared all over the flakes, but it must be healtheir than having a fry up.
Anyway, the category of this opinion is TV adverts, and I have a special reason for writing about the Kellogg's Crunchy Nut Cornflakes ad (the one where people make up excuses for being late for work). The reason I'm writing about the advert is because I designed it myself. Well, that's a bit of an exaggeration, but I did have a bit (a smidgen) of creative input.
I was walking aimlessly around Leicester on a Saturday morning (as I often do), when a middle-aged woman asked me if I had half an hour to spare and dragged me ...
Kellogg’s crunchy nut red is a new cereal from the worlds leading brand of cereal – Kellogg’s.
Founder of the Company Will Keith Kellogg believed that diet was a major part of a healthy lifestyle, and wanted to prove his theory. He began meddling with grain in hopes of finding ‘healthy’ options (along with his brother who was a doctor). It was while he was experimenting in Michigan – USA that he discovered ‘cereal’. 1894 saw the ‘invention’ of the humble cornflake, which ultimately saw the development of the many other cereals we know today. Full production of Kellogg’s cornflakes began on 1st April 1906.
After placing an advert in the July issue of “Ladies Home Journal” the sales went from 33 cases a day to a whopping 2,900 cases a day! It was in ...
