Re: Lousey
That last Lousey edition was published in 2005 when I got it in the neck for some reason or another. This most recent edition is a new resurrection this mag. Personally I do not object to satire, as long as it is satire and not just spiteful and sometimes offensive comments designed to hurt. In the real world, such actions in a work place could lead to dismissal and court action! Those involved need to be careful they don't overstep the mark, as I am sure that their intention is to poke fun rather than deliberately hurt their 'victim'. If not ....
Re: Lousey
Some of it had me rolling around laughing but other bits surprised me and the people (mainly staff) the comments were directed at might be quite shocked and offended. On the whole I think it's very good fun but I definitely agree that the writers should make sure they don't overstep the mark - or woe betide them if their anonymity is betrayed!

Re: Lousey
I was unclear, sorry - I haven't seen this latest one, I was referring to the archive of them on the internet from about 2003-4-5!

Re: Lousey
I have one. My son found it ;they were left about for people to pick up. He thought bits of it were funny but then he is 14.I thought it was dull and not very intelligent,a bit pompous really.There was some mild berating of Mr Vessey which he would probaby smile at and some attacks on other staff which I suspect are quite offensive. Mostly it was drivel. In my opinion.
