Stuff Magazine: A monthly magazine from
England that provides buying tips on items of interest to men
(sort of like the USA's Consumer Reports). The December 1999
issue covered foosball tables (called "Table Football"
in England), and reviewed/tested several of the most popular
brands of tables from around the world (including Bonzini, Tornado,
and Garlando). Guess which table was rated #1 :-). Note: the
pages had to be scanned in large format to make the text readable:
