This is a new low for you, it really is.
"Some of the articles are superb" I really think you ought to try reading a newspaper, a proper one with big pages, not a tabloid, and that will introduce you to the concept of "Journalism"

Fuck that, I don't want to be bored
These articles aren't with Professor whats-his-face complaining that the degradation of the pound is due to too much foreign aid going out, or whatever the fuck is written in them these days.

Broadsheets are for boring people, and I don't read tabloids either.

FHM is the least 'laddish' of the lads mags. I may be at a 'new low', but I'm happy to read things appropriate for my age. Find me a 22 year old who reads broadsheets, and isn't up his own arse, and I'll show you a liar.

EDIT: Fair enough, I'll acknowledge I've come across as a tosser here. Not my wish at all. I'd delete it, but that'd only prove to make me look a bigger tosser.

I read broadsheets
and I just turned 22 (*cries*) and some people (not all) don't think I'm up my arse

Arse
You had to turn up didn't you?

If it helps, I did write 'up his own arse', so it doesn't apply to you!

I read that as "I am stupid and proud of it".

Spot on
Why should we bother using our brains, only "toffs" and "geeks" use their brains, or aspire to in any way better themselves, people who do that aren't trustworthy, no, we should revel in our own lack of intellect, if someone says something I don't understand, then it's almost certainly an insult and they ought to be stabbed.

I wasn't saying that at all
I just get really fucked off when anyone is condescending to me, I find it incredibly insulting.

I enjoy learning through debating with others rather than reading, it's why I hated school. Extra reading, fine. But I've never enjoyed reading broadsheets at all.

Maybe if you weren't such a spastic retard, people wouldn't be condescending to you
if you tried reading things, you would learn things, but no, I don't learn well that way am to stupid to learn things from books and have to have everything explained to me.

Well, you're entitled to your opinion.
But frankly, fuck you very much.

You waded into my simply saying I enjoy reading it, and you took that to mean that evidently I am a complete retard, and therefore must be spoken to like a child. I disagree.

There is a massive difference between enjoying reading something
and saying the articles are superb. I was simply pointing out that articles in FHM are badly written and that if you actually want to read "superb" articles, you ought to try reading something written by a proper journalist.

But you immediately equated reading something well written with "Professor whats-his-face complaining that the degradation of the pound is due to too much foreign aid going out, or whatever the fuck is written in them these days" and I think wookies response hit the nail on the head.

I'm like, well incisive and shit.

(wellgroomedwookiee is a filthy-minded hobgoblin, Mon 18 Oct 2010, 13:06, Reply)

I meant I enjoyed them, that's why I said superb.
And as I've noted above, that's me sounding like an utter tosser, but that was in response to you simply insulting me.

Granted, words on a screen, upset on the internet, all that bollocks.

Fair enough

I've read FHM on occasion
and it can be pretty funny, albeit a little childish. I definitely prefer it to girls' magazines that have articles like "10 ways to get and keep a man", whereas FHM has stuff like "10 ways you could die tomorrow". Much more entertaining.
