Help me identify this website

I'm trying to remember the name/address of a funny website I used to visit perhaps 8-10 years ago or so. It was a humor site from out of England I think, presented in kind of a newspaper 'broadsheet' format, and had a distinctly anachronistic writing style, which I remembering being kind of Edwardian/P.G. Wodehouse-ish.
It had a format similar in some ways to the Onion in that it often had little headlines and lists which were funny, but all of the humor was very very dry and extremely English. I seem to remember little stipple-drawing illustrations, or maybe they were silhouettes. Anyone have any ideas what site this was?

Response by poster: I had a feeling the first answer would be the right one. Thanks, Famous Monster!!!

Isn't Millington the guy who had a web site about things his crazy (German) girlfriend said?

On the site, in the "Corner Shop" area: "...perhaps press hot coins guiltily into the hands of a stooped clerk for a copy of MR MILLINGTON's improving books Things About Which My Girlfriend And I Have Argued, A Certain Chemistry, Love and Other Near-Death Experiences and Instructions For Living Someone Else's Life..."
Thanks for the link, I still get Mil Millington's emails about his crazy girlfriend, I'm sure I'll like this site!

Response by poster: The "Letters from the Editor" section is just fantastic - consistently laugh out loud funny.

Sadly they haven't updated in a very, very long time. One of the writers is Mil Millington, who now writes novels.
