'POSIUM GIRL Hello Angel Interceptor my love. Here's my snail mail address: CENSORED. As they say on Mates - Reply g'teed!
THE MUSO Oh, I'm off to uni, and I am so happy, At last to leave the family home. I've bought a lot of saucepans, I'm going to join a rock band, and Cardiff is a lovely place to go. Wait till your finals... you'll find your optimism quaking under a library book!

TO 'ZINE - A LOVE POEM
There is a girl I kind of know,
Who drives me crazy, and although
I've tried to tell her, I'm too shy
To let her know the reasons why,
I always smile when she is there
I guess I'm scared that she might care.
I love her but I just can't say,
In case she feels a similar way.
The Koala Chunks Man, understanding Depressed Apricot.
You need to jazz-up your attitude
OR SHE'LL BE THROWING CHUNKS! YUK!

Today I visited every 'Ziner's worst nightmare...
THE HALL OF NO REMEMBERANCE

Only a few eternal 'Ziners are found not to be there... Savo, Broken Circles and...
