BUBBLE says the longest place name is in New Zealand: Taumata whakatangihangakoavavotamatea (turipukakapikimaungahoronuku) pokaiwhenuakitanatahu. It means "the hill whereon was played the flute of Tamatea (circumnavigator of lands) for his lady love." 'Mazin'.
QUANTUM SHEEP grooves to soundtracks to children's programmes like The Herbs and Charlie Chalk. Become a nursery school teacher. The kids'll love ya.

Dear 'Zine
Where have all REM's fans gone? Where have REM gone? Where has the summer gone? And where has Bagpuss gone?
Are we the only two students left who believe that the Magic Roundabout rules the world?
The kids of today follow the likes of the big bad Beetleborgs and Samurai Pizza Cats. Does anyone out there think this is morally wrong?
Rent a Ghost rules.

Methinks young Vapour Trail has been
OUT IN THE MIDDAY SUN TOO LONG.
DEAR STAR GIRL
I love Luke Skywalker too. He has nice arms and a lovely nose (especially when his nostrils flare).
But we can't drool over old film characters who are now about 50. I suggest you check out Crispian Mills. He looks just like Luke AND he has the best band.
And how come I can't find any posters of either of them?

There's no accounting for taste.
HAN SOLO IS A ZILLION TIMES SEXIER.
TV REVIEW
We couldn't stop laughing at this amazingly funny imported comedy. Oh, HOW we laughed at the characters' foreign-sounding names and the comical situations they found themselves in. And the acting? Side-splittingly funny.
Our sides are STILL aching from this irreverent show which bears no relation to the country it's set in.
The name of the show? Why, Neighbours of course.
The Revenge of Dime Bar and Toto
And I suppose EastEnders bears some
RELATION TO THE EAST END OF LONDON?
