THE REVITALISED ROMEO wants to deport any girl not named Juliet. Nah, get rid of the Romeos. It will cheer me up!
THE TALENTSPOTTER has a poem for Gonzo.
"Gonzo, Gonzo, thinks he's mad.
But we know him better, he's very sad."
What epic rhyming couplets. Star scribbling!
LOSING HER MIND The programme you asked about is called Dark Season. And no, it's not about a year watching Man City get ignominiously relegated.
GRAHAM THE TOMATO'S review went splat!
Savo's return has the postbag heaving
NOW THAT'S POPULARITY
DEAR 'ZINERS
Aren't you just sick of Take That? Although they split up, they're still haunting us.
For instance, we have Robbie playing football, Gary winning song-writing awards, countless magazine articles and CDs reaching No.1 in the chart.
Even nice days are ruined by turning on the radio and hearing "How Deep Is Your Love?"

DEAR IRON LION
I absolutely agree with you. Why do people make fun of other people's favourite pop group or singer? I, too, am a big fan of the Pet Shop Boys and I'm proud of it!
I've suffered prejudice at the hands of my cruel peers on account of my taste in music and I suspect I'm not alone.
So come on minority band music lovers, stand up for equal rights in tastes!

Remember, though, Arsenal
SING ONE-NIL TO THE TUNE OF GO WEST!
DEAR 'ZINE
Britain is a big place. Thus, it seems, 'Zinesters are a long way apart. But 'Zine unites them as one. For example, look at the current row between Little Miss Bug and Surly Hermit.
For all I know, the erstwhile Miss Bug could be writing from a fish farm in the Hebrides, while Hermit could be crouching over in his tower in downtown Southampton.
Broken Circles
And for all I know you may be a delay
ON THE CIRCLE LINE TUBE IN LONDON!
DEAR 'ZINE
Why do friends take me for granted? To them I'm a dictionary when they can't spell or don't know the meaning of something, a calculator and a clock. And who do they come to when they need to learn about music? Me, of course!
Well, I'm sick of it. So if you go to an all-girls school in northern England, know only one Pulp fan, and your initials are DK, RS, SC, FC or SE, I'm talking to you!

DEAR AFKA GONZO'S GIRLF
Tres happy, you are? Not for long! You've blown it big time with my Gonzo. He read what you put on 'Zine and he said that anyone calling him a trumpet playing puppet is no friend of his.
And funny you should mention Mulder and Scully. I think Gonzo and I saw you in a recent episode of The X Files. You weren't pretty!
(Very) Happy Hippy
Desist, this Gonzo nonsense. It's
ALL A CASE OF PUPP(Y)ET LOVE!
