The Mega-Zine Museum
June 9, 1998
FRANCES FARMER As Bob the Fish was getting into numbers last week, I wanted to know how many letters do you receive every day and how come Bob the Fish (and Ninja Hamster) get so much printed? More than I care to count. I'm an animal lover.
NON-STICKY BINDI (WITH AGORAPHOBIA) Ninja Hamster: I love you. Let's watch a light bulb until it blows. Electric!
JUICY STRAWBERRY, HECTOR'S HOUSE I believe that the comments by Maid of the River were rude and sexist. Okay.
DEAR 'ZINERS
On June 9 it is my 16th birthday and for the second year in a row, my friends have forgotten!
Is it my fault the whole nation has a maths GCSE on the morning of the 9th? No!
Please would 'ziners do something to cheer me up? I dunno how — maybe a nice birthday greeting?
Thanks!

You can't rely on this lot so...
MANY HAPPY RETURNS FROM WLW
DEAR 'ZINE
I've just realised I've been reading this page for the past four years and I've never written in a letter. I am now scared that not writing to 'Zine could class me as a trendy, so I've decided to remedy the situation.
Hi to all 'ziners and here's my one piece of (nearly) wisdom: Life is a lemon, so suck it and see.
The Cow That Jumped Over the Moon
PS Geri Spice is really a (male) (?) history teacher from my school.
Hard to swallow, but irresistable
A BIT LIKE MEGAZINE
FELLOW INHABITORS OF 'ZINEWORLD
Does anyone else get hideously jealous of other 'ziners who, for some completely incomprehensible reason, become incredibly popular and practically have their own little 'ziney fanclub?
It is especially annoying when that person's had fewer letters printed than you — you who introduced them to 'Zine in the first place... Alcopop Boy!
The Maid of the River
At least now you'll be
LIKED FOR SOMETHING
CRAZED CAT
Alas, you are not the only teenager who likes Gary Lineker. I do not adore him, but I have to admit that I find him strangely sexy.
I do not compulsively watch GMTV, but I think I'm a compulsive liar. Does anyone have a cure?
Naff Nymph
PS I did not lie during this letter. And that wasn't a lie either. Nor that. And I wasn't lying then... never mind.
Two of you?
I DON'T BELIEVE IT!
