A confused ISRAEL'S SON doesn't know whether the posh way of pronouncing scone is to rhyme with stone or gone. The dictionary says either, but if you're TRULY posh (like me) it's scone as in gone.

BANGIN'. IT JUST IS, AWRIGHT?
DEAR SCARY GIRL
I think that you have hit the nail on the head there. Not only are Boyzone "out of tune" and guilty of doing cheesy grins at every interval, they are apparently unable to figure out how to button up their shirts.
I agree with your comments about Bon Jovi too. Ok, so some of their early music was all right but now they just produce rubbish. It's just an added bonus that they're my sis's favourite groups.

WORRIED ANYONE WHO READS THE 'ZINE?
DEAR ZINERS AND ZINETTES
A question for you all:
Why is the "in-emergency-break-glass" hammer on buses/trains etc, always concealed behind a pane of glass?
Oh, and another thing. To all you soft southeners - The Capital City Newcastle is pronounced New-Kas-al, and not New-Car-Sal, as you always seem to pronouce it. Especially all you newsreaders and radio presenters.

I'LL PRONOUNCE IT NEW-KAS-AL.
DEAR LEON
What if we are one of those people who are unable to grow sideburns?
Do we not also deserve respect? Or do you think we should cut out bits of carpet and stick them on our faces?
Also, does anyone know the reason yawns are catching?

DEAR 'ZINE
With this debate about individualism, can I ask something - what do you call someone who isn't an individual? A trend follower.
If so, then when people start copying what an individual does, then the individual just becomes part of a trend
Therefore being an individual is only a temporary thing, so what's the point about arguing about it?

FELLOW 'ZINERS
Girls like footballers. WHY? Have you seen Jacques Villeneuve? Blue-eyed, strawberry-lipped and ooooooooooh THAT accent!
He's rich, famous, is mates with that lovely man Damon Hill and he's got a fast car (imagine going to school in that). He even speaks English!
In other words, if it weren't for his unavailability, Jacques would be the perfect man.
