Does anyone read this?
I love it. It's written here in Newcastle and I've met quite a few of the writers when I've been out drinking, including one of the editors - Simon Donald.
The Viz website (www.viz.co.uk) doesn't seem to be working at the moment, which is really irritating me.

Don't you reckon Johnny in the Big Brother house is really Sid the Sexist in disguise...the resemblance is too close to ignore...
(viz site down?...a lot of sites are down at moment, wonder if theres been a router problem or something...I can't even get to Google(?????) or Planet-Mu)...

I can get to Google okay, try going via another site (anonymizer.com for example).
Viz is funny, especially the top tips:
When driving don't bother giving way to buses as they invariably pull out anyway.

I've been avoiding Big Brother like the plague. However, most blokes from the North East resemble Sid the Sexist to some extent. It's amazing how close to the truth some of the caricatures in Viz are. That's what's so beautiful about it.
I'm really annoyed that the Viz site is down because I accidentally deleted a cartoon I downloaded off there (it was called Dr Poo), which I really liked because it was so puerile. I can't get it back until the site returns!

My brother has got some cool photos of him and other officers on his ship in full naval uniform fighting (literally) over a copy of the viz sausage sandwich.
Does anyone remember that old viz computer game? I bought a spectrum magazine that was reviewing it and had characters on it from Viz on the front cover. I remember my mum thinking it was viz and was shocked that my dad had let me buy it as I was only about 8 at the time :)
