THE GIRL WITH NO NAME now considers Pot Noodles a nutritious meal - all thanks to study leave. You'll get over it.
BELLY are the perfect band, ahead of Shakespear's Sister and Elastica. Hmm, Tanya Donnelly's big belly, perhaps?

DEAR 'ZINE
Hello, my name is Guttercat and I want to be the star of the 'Zine. This is my first letter, so I'll just introduce myself and my friend Hooligan.
We are both 16 and have just taken our exams. I am quiet and confident and Hooligan is as his name suggests.
I don't expect this to be printed, so just a few lines on page one will do.

TO BRING YOU MY LOVE - PJ HARVEY
From the tortured opener, To Bring You My Love, to the eerie closer, The Dancer, this opus is immensely varied but constantly disturbing.
Standout tracks are the hypnotic Working For The Man and the acoustic C'mon Billy and Send His Love To Me.
If music is the food of love, this will give you indigestion! Buy it!
Slimy Facecloth
But I don't want indigestion!
RATHER "HARVEY" THAN "AND DUNCAN"
DEAR 'ZINE
I was mightily relieved when I heard the new Take That song on the Steve Wright Show on Saturday night.
The reason - it's absolute tosh! Back For Good deserved to sell well, but no one I've spoken to liked it at all.
The lyrics are as subtle as a kick in the face and it makes for embarrassing listening.
Close the door on the way out boys!
Take This, Wood Green
What's with the choirboys at the start?
IS THIS THE BEGINNING OF THE END?
T-SHIRT REVIEW
I have been waiting for it to happen and it finally has - the new West Ham shirt celebrating WHFC's 100 years in professional football.
It has the club's badge standing out for all to see and little bubbles on the top with 100 on them.
The claret and blue is a must for all supporters of the Hammers. I'll wear mine on August 19 at home against Leeds.
