I used to read it all the time up until about 5 years ago.
I thought it had dropped in quality so haven't read it since.
When it first came out it was just brilliant.

No mention of Buster Gonad and his unfeasibly large testicles?

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

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.

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

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.

A cigar case full of angry wasps makes a cheap vibrator. Or make a cheap address book by getting a phone directory and crossing out the names of the people you don't know.
