What happened to Mandy Nolans’ column? It used to be outrageously funny and I’d be rolling on the floor laughing. Now (when I don’t flick past it) it’s just bad puns full of scorn.   

She’s either taking the piss out of men or blowing wind up women, by attacking men. It’s become piss and wind. Surely it’s time to move the politician on and get a comedian back to give us some real laughs?
