    Not seen a Viz for years! Good memories there. My brother used to buy the annuals, they had strange names - The Sausage Sandwich was one. Ironically probably a great character for Viz would be a Mother that gets her kids to have accidents in just so she can sue whoever premises it happened on.

    Aye VIZ is class, used to love reading VIZ Top Tips............Some quality advise.
    .

    DRIVERS: Avoid getting prosecuted for using your phone while driving. Simply pop your mobile inside a large shell and the police will think you are listening to the sea.

    MEN: When listening to your favourite CD, simply turn up the sound to the volume you desire - then turn it down three notches. This saves your wife having to do it.

    DON'T waste money on expensive iPods. Simply think of your favourite tune and I hum it. If you want to "switch tracks", simply think of another song you like and hum that instead.

    GAMBLERS: For a new gambling opportunity, try sending £50 to yourself by Royal Mail.

    Etc etc etc .........

    Indeed, falsified to the max; either that or foulmouthed, pint-swilling, tattooed, tracksuit-wearing, 'ladettes', with about as much femininity as Tom Jones' chest wig!

    Or vacuous 'Love Island' fodder.... Wouldn't touch any of it with a bargepole!

    Indeed its refreshing to see a youngish woman who takes the trouble to look her best, but that charge could be landed at young men too. as they get older its just gonna get worse, especially with those tattoos

    “Nothing discloses real character like the use of power. It is easy for the weak to be gentle. Most people can bear adversity. But if you wish to know what a man really is, give him power. This is the supreme test. It is the glory of Lincoln that, having almost absolute power, he never abused it, except on the side of mercy".

    “You see these dictators on their pedestals, surrounded by the bayonets of their soldiers and the truncheons of their police ... yet in their hearts there is unspoken fear. They are afraid of words and thoughts: words spoken abroad, thoughts stirring at home -- all the more powerful because forbidden -- terrify them. A little mouse of thought appears in the room, and even the mightiest potentates are thrown into panic.”

    "You don't have free will. You have the appearance of free will.”

    “There's a war out there, old friend. A world war. And it's not about who's got the most bullets. It's about who controls the information. What we see and hear, how we work, what we think... it's all about the information!”

    I have to admit I've been to Starbucks, in fact I frequented this place when I was living in the US.

    The key to Starbucks success is the fact that Americans simply do not understand coffee, which is a bit surprising considering that they chug it in ungodly amounts. Your average American coffee tastes like it was previously used to mop the floor. Against this background, Starbucks looks pretty decent because their basic offerings are actually drinkable.

    I lived in a small town about 7 miles from DC and we had just two coffee places: Starbucks and Dunkin' Donuts. Starbucks was by far the better of the two. There were some good places in DC, but few and far between. It was 6 years ago, so maybe things are different now but I have my doubts.

    Obviously, there's no reason to ever visit Starbucks or its likes if you're in Europe. An average European city has more decent coffee places than the whole American East Coast.

    Well, as exit visas go that’s got to be up there. I mean, you are planning on finishing the pie and pint first? It would be weird otherwise.
