Surely it can't still be funny? Nothing funny lasts that long.
It has its dull moments, and what doesn't after 31 years? but there are some new artists making more and more regular appearances. The letterbocks and Top Tips page are still priceless as are the spoof stories. Still the best source of puerile snort through your nose entertainment.
The letters page and top tips were the biggest laugh.

I agree. It also wears it's cleverness very lightly. The Elton John stories and the vilification of Eamonn Holmes are priceless. The strip of the Voting Floater in this edition made me laugh out loud.

Loved Johnny Fartpants, Biffa Bacon, Sid the Sexist and the Fat Slags.
Didn't like Billy the Fish though!
I thought it had dropped in quality so haven't read it since.
When it first came out it was just brilliant.

Me too. It is a constant source of guilty pleasure.

Those stories are my absolute favourites. Mick 'O the Midges was another brilliant one.
