MISS TRISTESSE I'm in the street, I'm in the gutter, it's years since I've had bread and butter! You're not missing much. Dull without Marmite.
THE BEAUTIFUL STONE HIPPO My boyfriend really fancies Tina Teaspoon from Button Moon. I'm jealous. What shall I do? Watch the other side!
THE PSYCHEDELIC GLOOM Which song ought to be covered (in the style of the Sex Pistols) for the Queen's Jubilee? How 'bout Money Money Money? A thought...
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY
I think penguins make great pets. They live in the fridge and don't need walking. Still, it's a bit annoying when they melt all over your fingers.
Tomorrow... Mars bars.
The Girl Hoo Missed By Miles
Oh you... I thought you meant real...
OH WELL, MORE FOOL ME.
ANOTHER 'ZINER FROM BROMLEY!
Home of the pre-teen trendy.
I was accosted a while back by a person with a clipboard, asking if I would like to receive some store's 'trendy catalogue'. Aghast, I reeled back and, finding myself in Thornton's, I just had to have a coffee ice cream.
Well, that's my excuse.
La Mere De L'Etoile
Ah Thornton's — mecca for all things
CHOCOLATE... GOD BLESS 'EM!
MEGAZINE
All the stupid thinking
The stupid people thought
The rules that they lived by
The friends that they brought
Fool with a strong arm
In the shape of floating friends

I have no idea what this means —
BUT IT SOUNDS GOOD ALL THE SAME
SHORT HAIR APPRECIATION SOCIETY
Out of your five points advocating short hair, I must disagree with those referring to combing, barbers and manliness.
Some people spend ages combing short hair. Also, long-haired people need their ends trimmed (at a barbers?).
About manliness — if a man looks girlie with long hair, he can't be much of a man. Manly men can pull it off.

Pull what off? Their long hair? Huh?
DID I MISS THE POINT?
WLW
I looked out of the window this morning and it was raining. Ten minutes later, I looked again and it was still raining. I couldn't believe it.
So I did a sundance, looked back outside and it was still raining. So I gave up and went to sleep.
Man, the holidays are boring.
The Prophecised Samurai Monk of Death
And it's still raining.

DEAR 'ZINERS
In this month's Asda magazine, there was an article about a girl in my city who is obsessed with the local store. She's only 10, but already has her bedroom decorated to look like Asda with a checkout, aisles and products on her shelves.
The manager of the real store was so impressed, she was given free Asda signs for her room. How lucky?

The frightening thing is that one day
