Viz has been gracing British newsagents' shelves since 1979. Its irreverent mix of bad language, childish cartoons and sharp satire has seen its creators hauled over the coals by the United Nations, questioned by Scotland Yard's anti-terrorist branch and exhibited in the Tate Gallery. Viz's comic characters, such as the Fat Slags, Sid the Sexist, and Roger Mellie the foul-mouthed Man on the Telly, as well as its hugely popular Top Tips and Profanisaurus sections, are firmly established as national institutions, just like Broadmoor Hospital for the Criminally Insane. *Manufacturer's estimate.

18 THINGS YOU NEVER KNEW ABOUT GOLF • MARK Twain, Oscar Wilde, William Gladstone, F. W. Payn, Sam Loates or Harry Leon Wilson famously once said that “Golf is a good walk spoiled”. But thousands of people across Britain – and millions more across the world – would disagree with whichever one of them lot it was who famously once said it. Because from GPs to surgeons, from solicitors to lawyers, from politicians to presidents, playing golf is a pastime beloved by everyone. Once the preserve of the rich, the sport is now accessible to anyone with a few thousand pounds to spare each year for club membership and a load of expensive gear. But however much you think you know about golf, there are a tremendous number of facts about the game that you’d be surprised to find out about. So let’s tee up…
A JOURNEY TO THE CENTRE OF THE GOLF BALL
TEE-TIME • WITH a set of clubs, a trolley and golf shoes, as well as the exorbitant green fees charged by golf clubs Weasily setting players back a four figure sum, you might think that golf is a game accessible only to the wellheeled. But charity shops are full of bags of golf clubs at knock-down prices, and you don’t have to fork out to play on a golf course… if you have your own in your back yard!
Hole-in-ones… or Holes-in-one? • THE whole of the golfing world agrees that when you sink the ball with a single stroke, you have made a hole-in-one. But there is less agreement when someone does it for a second time – have you made 2 hole-in-ones, or 2 holes-in-one? Here, two renta-quote arseholes champion their preferred terminology to indicate the single-strokeshot plural.
