And it's Helen Mirren's turn to go all manly on us, in this still from RED 2, or as we know it, Retired And Extremely Desperate 2 Pay A Big Tax Bill. Don't spend it on too much old rope at once, Helen...

Who Needs The Open...

...when you can play a round on the Planet Sad Crazy Golf course? This not-at-all-crap attraction has been set up in the back garden of Sad Towers, and features a variety of holes including

The Clown's Pocket


The Spartan's Well (par score 300)


The Ridiculously Manly Hole


The Dinner Lady's Tureen


The 'Hi, We're Muse!' Supermassive Black Hole


The Murray Mount (participants are awarded a bonus Jimmy Wig if they manage to successfully negotiate all the cows)


The James Spader (who is very disappointed in you if you can't get the ball through his mouth)


and The Windmill (because on every crazy golf course there's always a chuffing windmill)




And the ideal thing for negotiating this course is, of course, a wedge...
