YELLOW YOKEL Is it just me or are those Go-Ahead biscuits really stupid. They say something like 95% fat-free, so does that mean that they are 5% fat? Or that they are 95% fat and free?
THE BB MAN Bob the Fish, you used to have my full respect but having just read Backchat I'd like it back please. You evidently don't have any sense of loyalty. You were reading Backchat?...
AFKA GONZO WLW cannot resist printing me see! I know where you're coming from.
DEAR 'ZINE
I was thinking about individuality; and my cogitated things were vaguely on a par with the following:
I am aware that those at the 'Zine are encouraging people to be individuals, to conform to no set rules about the kind of person they should be; but ha HA! Surely, if enough people decide not to conform, then wouldn't nonconformity become the norm and by not conforming you actually would be — we'd be stuck in a lose-lose position?
You'd always be conforming, even if you weren't. Confused?

OI WLW
What about a weekly Mega-zine poll?
WLW thinks up a question every Monday which can be answered with a yes or no. On the following Sunday, the results are printed with a few comments which may have been included by 'Ziners. Here is the first question:
Should we have a weekly Mega-zine poll?
Answers by Sunday.

Well the answer's NO! Nothing to 'Zine
IS BLACK & WHITE! - 'CEPT GUINNESS!
JIM, I'M SORRY
I'm going.
I have met a young French count who has land in North Africa. I decided I'm actually going to do it — live in Paris as an exile for six months or more.
Paris is a natural choice, it fills me with romantic tales. My continuing fondness for Rimbaud and Celine and Baudelaire is a factor as well. I'm beginning to smile well.

DEAR 'ZINE TYPE PEOPLE
Why don't goths stop wearing black stuff and sort of cheer up. Wear bright colours and stop looking so depressed.
If you smile and sing happy tunes then the world will seem like a much nicer place and we may end all wars and find cosmic peace and harmony in our bright chequered shirt things.
Go on. You know you want to.

There's only so much NICE one can take!
