Does anyone know any good and funny UK feminist magazines/websites?

I'm looking for something with general news and interesting stories (not just women's news) but intelligently written from a feminist viewpoint, maybe a bit tongue in cheek and irreverent.

I know about Jezebel (in the US), and the fword from the UK (good, but quite serious). Please tell me what I'm looking for exists!
Thanks

thanks for answering, FCD. It seems like more of a campaigning site, rather than editorial news/opinions, but would be good for forum etc.

Maybe what I'm after just doesn't exist...

AFAIK there isn't a site like Jezebel based in the UK. If you want fun stuff, news and popular culture with a feminist focus Bad Reputation (www.badreputation.org.uk/) is a good blog. It's hard to name blogs off the top of my head because I think I have been reading a lot of serious stuff recently! In terms of general news and humour sites, I don't know if we have any to rival Jezebel, The Hairpin, etc etc.

Magazine wise we have nothing :( I know that someone is in the process of setting up a new feminist magazine (libmagazine.blogspot.com/) but I think there have been some delays and the first edition has not been printed yet.

I agree that Twitter is good for finding random links and blogs.
