Mega-Zine Museum: Letters

January 23, 2002

GRILLAMO Can I have a HOORAY for the geordie bloke who works down the chippy? And the bloke in Clinton's Cards! Hooray for the geordie etc etc.

THE LITTLE SILVER MOONBABY Westlife are the best and soooooo fit! They could play their own instruments if they wanted. Scared yet? Most definitely!

PINK SOCK WLW — how many 'Ziners are there altogether? Do you ever count? 7,256 on the last census. I think I may have counted a few twice.

TIME FOR CHANGE

WLW — having read your page for five years, I feel it's time for sweeping changes. Even your job is under threat.

I feel we should start addressing issues in the vein of Panorama or Byker Grove. Subjects like poverty, substance abuse, etc.

First though, an investigation into why our nation can't develop warm loo seats. It drives me nuts and isn't good at all for certain "embarrassing problems".

The Talented Mr Kipling

Hasn't that cleared up yet?

YOU MUST BE PRAYING FOR SOME SUN

THINGS TO DO IN BRIDLINGTON

Go into Sounds on a Saturday morning and talk to the nutter (aka Sheep-Boy) in the Metallica jacket.
Stare at the fat pigeons and daft seagulls.
Go to the train station. Go to Hull.
Buy some fish 'n' chips at one of the many chippies in Brid (Audrey's is the best).
Talk to Treacle the cat.

Silvan Draconis

Hmmmm... not totally happening methinks.

AT LEAST IT'S BY THE SEASIDE, EH?

JUST A FEW THINGS PEOPLE REALLY SHOULDN'T LIKE:

Coca Cola (fizzy junk water)
Prawn Cocktail and Salt 'n' Vinegar crisps (yuk yuk yuk!)
Gold chains (ultimate in tacky jewellery)
Daytime TV 5 Chewing gum (I'm sick of finding collections of it under every table and radiator in school!)

Sugared Venom

Can I add WWF, So Solid Crew

AND INSPECTOR MORSE TO THAT LIST!

DEAR WLW

I was rather amused at a special offer in my student union shop. Free with my Daily Telegraph was a copy of Arena magazine.

Arena — laddish magazine full of swearing — free with the Telegraph, a newspaper whose normal readership closely resembles the Brigadier.

Now, had it been the Star that was handing out this mag...

Captain Slog

I'm rather more concerned that you're

READING THE DAILY TELEGRAPH

WLW

I have something like an Afro! Do you like the pics I attached?

My hairdresser was ill the last time I was supposed to have my hair cut, and I haven't had it cut since. It just keeps on growing and, because it's really curly, it's getting really big now.

I should be a disco diva from years back. Just need some flares now...

Frank The Potato

The pics were great...

BUT THE HAIR IS SCARY!

WLW, DAVORD, 'ZINERS

I present... The life of Trevor:

Trevor's at the knitting factory
A place he feels at home
Trevor likes to watch the wool
As round the spools it roams

Trevor's at the bank
He doesn't like it there
'Cos banks are made for money
And Trevor + Money = Rare

I'm off to knit him a jumper with a pound sign on it!

White Flava Wine Gum

I know how Trevor feels —

WHERE HAS MY MONEY GONE THIS MONTH?

THE EURO

All the coins look the same.
We (the Irish) now share a currency with France.

To the people of Britain... keep this evil away from your country!

The Dark Blue Penguin of Despair

Got to admit, I'm not a fan.

WHY CAN'T WE JUST DEAL IN M&Ms?
