You know, like the ones they use on 'have i got news for you?'.

i'll go first.

i subscribe to 'Grout' magazine. it is published 3 times a year. It's about mosaics and the first copy i received had a picture of DH with DS1 in the backpack at the opening of an exhibition.

Oh BALD, that's fabulous.

I get Running, and Farmers Weekly. Sometimes I sneak a look at the Tractor Porn on the top shelf.

Collectables Trader.

Since I grew out of Keanu Reeves, it has been my ultimate fantasy to find a Faberge egg at a charity shop.

bigeyes · 11/02/2009 00:21

Clement · 11/02/2009 00:21

slight diversion but does anyone remember 'cricket & co'? it was a literary mag for kids, american or canadian i think. i'm going to google it....

Clement · 11/02/2009 00:24

good god it still exists. wow.

MrsSeanBeanIsEmployable · 11/02/2009 00:31

at grout!
I once grudgingly subscribed to a Floristry mag, can't even remembe the title, when I did an evening class.
Does Tatler count as niche? It darn well should do. Who are the people who grin inanely for their social pages, or as well as their botoxed faces will permit?
I signed up to the rag to get a free Eternity EDP, but just chuck it every month. I don't give a monkey's what Cosima and Tamara are up to.

Defo niche but possibly not 'geeky' as such, more professional (some may disagree of course)
International Journal of Aromatherapy
The Nutrition Practitioner
CAM magazine
FACT - Focus on Alternative and Complementary Therapies.

MrsMerryHenry · 11/02/2009 00:50

I used to subscribe to the New Statesman but I don't think that's quite niche enough...

ThumbLoveWitch · 11/02/2009 00:56

lol at new statesman mrsMH - if you can buy it in WHSmiths on the stations, I don't think it counts!
How the divil are you btw? still hanging out in the food and style sections? (have I got that right? )

ThePlanningCommittee · 11/02/2009 01:07

Planning magazine

(plus AJ, Building, Property Week, BD etc)

no surprises there then (although possibly the dullest post so far)

ThePlanningCommittee · 11/02/2009 01:09
