SOCK PUPPET We're born, we live and then we die, it doesn't matter what we do in between, so I'm going to quit now... someone give me a chicken. 80 years is a long time to suck on a chicken.

SMAK THE CAT Marmite on toast rules! What are they then — never spread yourself too thinly?

MISS TRISTESSE What is everyone doing for the Millennium? Looks like I'll be sulking that I won't be in Cardiff. Surely that's something to celebrate?

 

RIP GOLDIE (MY FISH)

WLW could you hold a two-minute silence for my pet goldfish who died today? He lived in his tank in the corner of my room, but illness took him away.

My room is now silent — no longer the sound of splashing, as he flicked his tail on the surface of the water — just silence.

As I sent him on his final journey, I imagined him swimming happily in a giant fish tank...

The Ink Spot

Goldie you say? Did he like

DRUM & BASS MUSIC?

 

TO MOCK MYSELF

I liked her.
I like her too much.
It was a one-off.

And she said let's just be friends,
So I never spoke to her again.

Now I know where she's working
But it's been over a year,
So should I?

Splendid

Well, 92% of couples get back together

ACTUALLY I JUST MADE THAT UP

 

ZINERS,

I saw a story fly through the sky, aubergines in shades of yellow
Stream of consciousness through pilchards minds a cloudy day
Peaceful and crepuscular twighlight followed by dreams and starry delight wakefulness
Soon after splashes of water and strengthening coffee to start the daydayday could someone tell me why I am?

The Psychedelic Gloom

Haven't I warned you lot

ABOUT CHEESE BEFORE BEDTIME?

 

THE LAST HAUNTED STALKER

As I am a poor, unloved trainee, I write to you on this scrap of paper with my depressing thoughts.

I concur with your words deeply. My love was her love until fate decided I was due a bad day.

She says I'm a psycho — is it knowing you lot that's done this to me?

The Ickle Strawberry Moose

Or it could be the way

YOU HANG UP YOUR UNDERWEAR
