MY CHRISTMAS LIST
Forty-five bags of Skittles, two worms, a dog that can fly, some yellow hair dye, a burglar alarm (to set off at 2am to annoy the neighbours), a Fred Durst punchbag, a year's supply of Lemon Fanta, a Top Of The Pops album (to scratch for my pleasure) and a PlayStation 2, complete with 93 games.
Please, please, please deliver this stuff, Mr Father Christmas. I have been a very good girl.

There's a biology book at my (very sad) school. Its author is Michael Slaughter. It's title is Living Things.
Here's the hilarious bit — on the spine of the book, it says Slaughter Living Things.

I DON'T WANT TO GOSSIP, BUT...
I was reading the J17 problem pages and found an agony uncle called Nick (the one from Angst!), with a little picture.
I have to say that his real eye looks nothing like the big crying eye in the top right corner of Angst. So who's eye is it?
WLW, is your true identity hidden somewhere in another magazine or do you inhabit 'Zine and 'Zine alone?

You mentioned that Lego was a phase in people's lives. Too true!
I remember fondly my Lego days. I had this huge box and I'd spill the entire contents of the box on to the floor. Then I'd build houses and cars and castles and change the clothes and wigs of the Lego people.
Them were the days...

Them were indeed. Happy times.
AND WHO REMEMBERS MECCANO? EH?
