THE MUSHROOM GIRL ways she believed she was in the same punk boat as Optimus Prime until his scathing missive to 'Zine. We take it now that Prime's raft is way out of line.

THE GIRL WITH TWO BRAINS is curious about what has happened to Iron Lion and Broken Circles. They were drinking in last chance saloon. They couldn't stand the competition. So they left.

ROBBIE MULLER'S ROOM-MATE asks if 'Ziners think Bitch by Meredith Brooks is the comedy single of the decade. No.

 

DEAR 'ZINE

I have been on holiday in gorgeous Spain, but why is it full of Scottish people? Almost everyone I met was Scottish, and I've no idea why. Surely someone in Spain must be Spanish!

Personally, I think I actually went to Scotland but my parents told me it was Spain. Then again, I suppose if it was Scotland I would have seen a few flying haggises.

DEAR 'ZINE

We should start a Backchat-style debate, but with a cool 'Zine topic. How about something totally irrelevant to normal life — like '70s TV dectectives?

Columbo's got to be the best. Not only does he smoke fat green cigars, he wears the same clothes day after day. That must stink murderers into confessing.

UNDISCLOSED 'ZINE FACTS

  1. The oldest 'Ziner is just coming out of nursery school.
  2. If every 'Ziner posted a letter at the same time, the Royal Mail would break down within two minutes.
  3. WLW receives the equivalent of three Amazon rainforests each year.
  4. WLW said I was funny. Once.

TO OPTIMUS PRIME

How dare you say you need to have been there in the '70s to be a punk! I was born in 1980. That don't make me a punk, right? Rubbish!

If the punk rock scene was limited to those who were 16 in '77 it would be full of old farts with bellies the size of Australia.

How old are you? I gather you're in your 30s because you're a real punk. And I'm afriad the 'Zine is limited to young people only.

Get lost, please.
