The Mega-Zine Museum

AFKA GONZO proposes a truce between Iron Lion, Surly Hermit, Joyrider and himself. No insulting anyone for two months - replies on a postcard.
GIRL WITH X-RAY EYES says that you shouldn't knock surrealism because it's original. So is wearing your trousers over your head on the way to school.
MARIGOLD is unimpressed with the offerings of teen books available. If you think you can do better, write one yourself.
Failing that - leave the teen section
AND LOOK AT SOME PROPER BOOKS!
DEAR 'ZINE
Why do people call their pets such stupid names? Who would choose to be called Tiddles or Rover? Poor things.
What would the world be like if a bowl was called a dog and Frosties were called slime?
Every morning you'd ask your mum for a dog of slime! It would change my life forever...

If "well" = "oh" and "done" = "dear"
I'D BE SAYING "WELL DONE" TO YOU!
DEAR 'ZINE
Does anyone remember a children's TV show with a girl called Marcia in it?
These blonde men in dark suits gave computers to kids in a school. This girl made the lightbulbs explode and there was a machine under the stage.
This old man was trying to deactivate it and this woman got strapped to it in the last episode. Please help me!
Losing her mind
It rings a bell, but the name eludes me
PUT THIS GIRL OUT OF HER MISERY!
DEAR 'ZINE
It looks like summer might at last be here, and not before time.
I'm going to finish my mock A-levels and then spend the rest of the summer in the park with my mates playing loud music, dancing and messing about.
I'm going to get a boyfriend, who I haven't met yet - with a car - and have such an excellent time. Until September.
Skinny, glasses, fringe, skirt
One word sums it all up:
SORTED
REVIEW - EVERYTHING MUST GO BY THE MANIC STREET PREACHERS
This album can only be described as one thing - brilliant.
The title track is an emotional message to their fans and Richey, Small Black Flowers is beautiful and Australia tells of the pain the band feel.
Some resent the Manics for carrying on without Richey, but this album shows it was what they needed to do.
Girl Who Wanted To Be God
DEAR 'ZINE
Can someone explain why some groups give songs names that aren't included in the lyrics?
Some are understandable in the context, but some (Supervixen - Garbage, Vampire - The Bluetones) are nothing to do with anything in the song.
Why?

DESPERATELY IMPORTANT QUESTIONS!?!
