JOKE - What do you say to a student with a job? Big Mac and fries, please. Sent in by Pearl. (Didn't get in, eh?)
LENTILS TASTE NAFF wants to see a Jolly Rancher series to take over from the seriously rubbish Power Rangers. Mmmm.
DAFFODIL HITCH-HIKING THE UNIVERSE must tell Muppet that Bob Dylan said the answer is blowing in the wind. Better keep the gob shut when outside, I guess.
ELVIN sent in a groovy pic of Elvis, or was it Elvin? It's the same, methinks.

HERSELF - LIKE WE NEED TO KNOW
DEAR 'ZINE
Intrigued to read of the 1,000-mile wide comet that could extinguish the Earth if it came anywhere near us.
When one threat passes (the year 2000), another comes to take its place - with the result that I feel more secure when my days are numbered.
Delighted to see Anastasia Black and Lucille le Dark back - I know we share the same uncorrected personality traits.

Yes, you certainly do
BUT HEY, LIFE IS SHORT
A FAIRY STORY
"I've got an idea," said John to Dave."
Let's start up a business. We'll take one line from a well-known tune.
"We'll repeat it lots of times, really fast and at the end we'll get all of our mates to shout 'Jungle-ist Posse!' down a microphone."
"It'll never work," said Dave, "People aren't that stupid."

TO MEGA-ZINE
The BBC, so I gather, is very proud of the quality of their sports coverage.
But they really should take into consideration that some viewers find afternoons of cricket a wee bit tedious.
The variety of sports shown consists of football, cricket, rugby and racing. How about fencing or table tennis getting some air-time?

LONG - IT'S BLIMIN' HARD, YOU KNOW
JUDGE DREDD
Cliched, predictable, unconvincing and decidedly dodgy.
Two brothers artificially created by an experiment are told they are orphans but later discover the truth. One is perfect, one has gone horribly wrong.
Sound familiar? Twins? Having one hard guy who can't act in a film can work really well, but having two, doesn't.

A MORE SCARY JUDGE
I'M ONLY SLEEPING - SUGGS
Released after considerable delay, this is an extremely listenable offering from Madness frontman Suggs.
It's very catchy, with a polished, rounded, Bad Manners-esque sound.
The B-side is a bit disappointing considering Suggs' previous form like Waiting For The Ghost Train, but it is a passable effort nonetheless. Groovy!
