IN REPLY TO MISS CRITIC

In your list of worst bands you put nine teenybopper bands and Bon Jovi.

Okay, fair play to nine of them, but at least Bon Jovi don't sound the same every time. They're classic.

Obsessed Crystal Palace fan

PS I agree with Adamaniac about Bryan Adams!

Bon Jovi songs don't sound the same?

YOU'RE JOKING, RIGHT?!

REPLY TO BILL'S EVIL ROBOT DOUBLE

The reason girls laugh in your face is that they need protection from boys who think it's cool to wind girls up for a laugh.

Then they drop girls like a stone when they complain.

Boys demand attention, but never return the girl's phone calls or letters.

Alice, Happy without her baby

BOYS demand attention! - girls don't??

WE ALL LOVE A BIT OF ATTENTION!

ALBUM REVIEW - TAPPI TIKARASS: MIRANDA

Bjork's first band, but this 1983 album is no fans-only curio, it should be heard and adored by all.

Despite a thrashing start, it's mostly slick rock-folk-funk and with Bjork's voice it almost outdoes Debut in vocal ecstasy stakes.

Get Ekki Sofith and Trio are sublime melodies which will haunt you.

The Fresh Prince of Guildford

Kate Cobain, Far beyond chaos

Don't ask us, Kate

WE JUST WORK HERE!

REPLY TO SHAMPOO'S CONDITIONER

Have you no shame, girl?

Shampoo are two talentless bimbos out on an ego trip.

You obviously have no brains. I don't understand why people buy their stuff.

You don't have a clue what music is. You think they're cool? Get a life! You're a disgrace to the female race.

Butterfly McQueen

What has happened to Shampoo anyway?

PROBABLY BUSY WITH THEIR HOMEWORK!

REPLY TO CLARET TERROR

I'm with you, Claret! The dozy bimbos who call themselves football fans and only support Man Utd for your given reason, that Giggs is fit, really get on my wick!

My local team, Wolves, are so inconsistent, it's unbelievable. We only just scraped a win over Notts County, but I support them.

I believe we'll go up this season.

Ellie, Wolf Girl
