RIDE REVIEW - NEMESIS, ALTON TOWERS

What they say: The Ultimate Ride Sensation

What I say: Phew! Whatta ride! One awesome trip! More loops and twists than ever seen. Faster and more daring than any before.

Mark Owen's Taste Buds, Wiltshire

What's Mark Owen got to do with taste?

I DIDN'T MEAN IT, HONEST!

DEAR 'ZINE

I've noticed how 'Ziners carrying names such as Kool and Funky receive the most criticism, even if they only write once.

These names come from hip, black street music like jungle, ragga, rap and swing.

Ignorant white rock Ziners know this and complain whenever they see anything black and hip, so they can keep Zine 100% rock.

Big Man Tate

Funny, I thought TT fans got most stick

ANY TASTE, ANY MUSIC, IT'S IN 'ZINE

ODE TO THEME DAYS

I only have one thing to say,
and it's about terrible theme days,
Go back to the old, I beg of you,
before your readers drop to a few.

And the other day - only six pages!
I hope the same cut went to staff wages
Please think about this for a bit,
before you lose the mega and become... tacky!

Roberta Mortimer On The Dock Of The Bay

OK Bert, we take your point

ARE YOU A POET BUT NO ONE KNOWS IT?

SINGLE REVIEW - SWEETS FOR MY SWEET - CJ LEWIS

Sweets for my sweet,sugar for my honey?

Diabetics should unite to ban this song. Surely "sweetener for my monosaccharide carbohydrate, fructose for my glucose" is more fair?

Apart from that, this is an awful version of the Searchers' original done back in 1963.

Mellitus, The Islets of Langerhans

Errr... yes

GIVE THIS MAN A SCIENCE GCSE!

ARMCHAIR TECHNO TOP TEN

Electro The Robot

We'll take your word for it, Leccy
