Outside the context of this film, and more personally to Jarvis, I have always thought it was self-referential of the 20+ years that he has spent in Pulp and how it "takes up his time, like some cheap magazine"...Pulp...magazine...see?
Maybe I'm looking into it too much, but this is what it has always meant to me. If it wasn't written for the film then I'd be tempted to believe that was it's original meaning, or if it was, maybe this was in the back of his mind anyway...?
