THE MAN WITH THE GOLDEN BUN Oi how do you feel about the fact that your pages are sandwiched between 'Green Scene' and 'Fun and Games'? Not thrilled.

KINDRED VENDETTA It's amazing how much fun you can have with a bucket of dead fish, a catapult and an unsuspecting old lady! I know, and have you tried... actually, best not to go there.

SIR WHENCE PITCHFORK Why did the chicken cross the field? Because it liked its style! Ha ha ha ha... oh dear.

 

DECENT BANDS

If Parsley Possum is allowed to plug Dog Fashion Disco on here, then I want the opportunity to plug some bands that I like, so... everyone should check out Puddle Of Mudd (ignore the pants name and connection with the red-capped one with the dodgy beard), Cold Metal (Broccoli's fave band — I'm not too keen) and, the best of the bunch, My Vitriol.

What do you think of that lot, WLW?

Fluffy The Evil One

Well, you're definitely right,

MY VITRIOL ARE THE BEST OF THAT LOT

 

OLD LADIES AND GRAVITY

I have a theory. It's about old ladies and why they get smaller. I shall explain.

As you get older, your bones become weaker. Now then, here's the science part, concentrate. The earth's gravitational pull is too strong for the old ladies' bones, so they get pulled down and down until they are 3ft tall.

This is my theory, you can't have it, no matter how much you beg.

Lemming Curd Phd

It's a great theory and, as I don't

HAVE A BETTER ONE, WE'LL GO WITH IT

 

I KID YOU NOT

My advertising teacher looks exactly like James Dean Bradfield. As if this isn't strange enough, in our first lesson, he mentioned Fidel Castro and the Cuban Revolution and on one of the shelves was a copy of Kerrang!, which included an interview with the Manics!

Surely it can't be a coincidence. Gutless Wonder, get yourself down to my college now! I bet that Nicky Wire's down here too somewhere...

Queenie Careena

Nah, Nicky is working in Selfridges...

FOOD HALL... I KNOW, I SEEN HIM

 

'ZYNERS

I just want to share with you that I am going to go see WWF Wrestling on November s in Manchester, so I think you should all watch it so you can see me (even though you won't know who I am). But you should watch anyway.

I know, I'll take a big sign saying Mega-Zine Rules, then you'll all know it's me! I'm so clever.

See you all then!

Manfa Man (who's actually female!)

Tell me the tickets were a gift, 'cos

IF I FIND OUT YOU PAID FOR THEM...

 

WLW

I notice that B*ckch*t's "Ed" has to put his name at the end of every response to any letter. I notice you don't do this.

I think "Ed" does this as all trendies have such short memories, and Ed loves himself so much.

But now I've sent you this e-mail, you'll probably put "WLW" at the end of every response you make... or maybe not.

Pete the Destroyer

Don't be daft...

WLW xx

BORING TOWN ALERT

I live in a small village in West Central Scotland called Glenboig. It is boring (two pubs, two primary schools and a war memorial), but not as boring as the nearby town (?) of Coatbridge.

That IS a strong contender for the most boring town award. It has: Two secondary schools and two primary schools, a bit of a canal full of green stuff and shopping trolleys and an industrial museum about mines and brickworks!

Satan's Rubber Duck

Mmmm... sounds like a likely venue for

THE NEXT 'ZINE CONVENTION, METHINKS
