'Have you had an election this week...'

Old jokes die hard, but whenever I need to laugh uncontrollably, I look at a few pages from The Framley Examiner.

A topical - and typical - page is here: -

and check this too...

These are probably the funniest bits of writing I've ever seen, totally absurd, utterly crazy and with incredible lateral humour.

The guys who write it, Robin Halstead, Jason Hazeley, Alex Morris and Joel Morris, also know a thing or two about 'Viz', and seeing all this makes me wonder what we have had since The Schoolkids edition of 'Oz', which seems a long, long time ago now...

    Funnily enough, Nick, that's just what Younger Daught said.

    Scotton Pinkney was hilarious, and I mourned the passing - mainly because there were so many opportunities to lighten up and do some silly role-play!

    Perhaps Miss Cottle will reappear some day...

    Phwaaaaarrrh!

    Scotton Pinkney Bypass ?

    That sounds familiar. Could start up again, surely ?

    Merms...I promise I don't really read Viz, I could really upset the Burgeresses of Tunbridge Wells on the 9.15 with my ghetto blaster, sandwiches, yellow painted Thermos flask, pipe, and a copy of Viz - accompanied by howls of laughter at Fag Slats...
