EMPTY SKIP has seen Blades' brain wandering around Bramhall Lane - hurry, fetch it before D Basset signs it up.
RHUBARB wants to solve one of the mysteries of life - is Billy in EastEnders a boy or girl? Cute whatever.
MENSWEAR'S new single I'll Manage Somehow is excellent says Daydreamer.
LUCRETIA wonders why everything comes at once: GCSEs, arguments with best friends and English teachers - Lu, calm yeeself.

ALBUM REVIEW - EAT TO THE BEAT, BLONDIE
Once again, Debbie and her thin boys have excelled themselves.
From the haunting Shayla to the punky Living In The Real World, this promises to be a classic on a par with last year's Plastic Letters.
Blondie are certainly THE band for the discerning 70s punkette. Let's hope they carry on well into the 80s and not split up in 81.

Well you've got to wrap up warm when
YOU LIVE IN CONDEMNED HOUSING!
DEAR ZINE
My boyfriend is going into hospital soon and will be bed-ridden for about a month. So being the caring girlfriend that I am, I bought him a Megadrive.
Little did I know it would take over his life. I have just sat bored to tears while he was transfixed on PGA Golf - the most boring game ever!
I know it sounds sad but I am now jealous of this machine.
Katie
Whatever possessed you?
THESE GAMES CAN BE FATAL!
A PLEA TO KATE COBAIN
The letter by the Cranberries Chick
And WLW's reply
Solved my growing burden
To Kate I now can write
Dearest Kate if you read this
If we could write I'd be in heaven
Let's work something out
Through Mates on page 447
If I could pen you letters
My yearning would then cease
Cause my eternal love, dearest Kate,
To you I do bequeath.
Obscure Indie Boy, (yearning for Kate)
PLEASE Kate, put him out of his misery!
PLEA TO BLADES
This is starting to annoy me. It is obvious that most of the people who slag off the Government haven't got a clue what they're talking about.
So "objective criticism", such as "They haven't got a brain between the lot of them", gets right up my nose.
OK, they're not perfect, but look at the alternatives.
