THE LITTLE MAN calls Christianity 'fairy tales'. How do you know?

NORTHERN SOUL would like to belatedly congratulate those who passed their exams and commiserate with with those who didn't.

THE SUNFLOWER GODDESS has come to slowly take over our brains. Scary.

PSYCHO CABBAGE says Mrs Alex James is sad and that people don't care what she thinks. Ouch.

Lawdy Miss Clawdy seriously digs Coming

UP BY SUEDE. YAHOO, BANG, FIZZ ETC

 

DEAR 'ZINE

As the IRA Manchester bomb fades from memory, it is important to remind people about it. It has massively affected Manchester, economically and personally.

Lots of businesses are in trouble. I have no shopping centre, Affleck's Palace, or the coin exchange - in other words nowhere to go to and socialise during the day. The centre may not be fully open for two years.

REVIEW: FIRST DAY OF SIXTH FORM

Fifth formers, don't believe the hype! The sixth form is just the same. The same cliques etc.

We had a 45min assembly then were told to come back in two days.

The Crushed Orange

PS To the Average Believer: at last someone else realises Oasis are over-rated, over-hyped trash.
PPS Binky the Doormat: your REM review was spot on. You're as obsessed as me.

Talking of REM, Be Mine is the best

thing they've done... EVER!!!!!

 

CALLING ALL 'ZINESTERS

I will give a reward of two paper clips a plastic bag, a 5cm piece of string and a Porky Pig tazo to anyone who guesses correctly why I am called The Red Chipolata.

Gosh Zinesters, that'll have you

RUBBING YOUR CHINS AND FROWNING.

 

RESPONSE TO THE INDIVIDUALISM DEBATE

It is unfortunate that these days people conform to pathetic things like fashion.

Music, clothes, looks, personality should be the individual's choice, whether it's agreable to others or not.

My view: look how you want, express yourself how you want, never mind what others think, be confident but never over so. Be happy.

The Grunge King

Read that anonymous prose that starts

GO PLACIDLY AMID THE NOISE AND HASTE

 

TO 'ZINE AND VINCENT VAN GOAT

I have appeared from the depths of my nocturnal hiding to tell you, my dear Vinny, that everybody is an individual, not just poets and artists.

How can you define who is a poet or an artist anyhow? And if everyone wasn't individual how would you tell them apart?
