THE DUCK IN THE HAT The day is just the bit between waking up and going back to sleep. Certainly is in my house.

INFERNAL FELINE So, why did the dish run away with the spoon anyway? There was a whole cow/laughing dog thing going on. All got a bit messy.

THE PERPLEXED NINJA CROW My friend was once engaged to a lamp post... but it stood her up at the church because it had seen the light! Geddit? Oh dear.

 

POETRY CORNER

Brigadier, oh Brigadier
Do you ever drink a pint of beer?
When morning comes, you drink port
Do you also have some snuff to snore?

The evening nigh and you're on sherry
Getting more than a little merry
And as your cheeks are reddening

It's time to go to bed and sing
Of battles won and fought and lost
And dream of kittens

Jeamlander

Ooooh, it was all going so well —

BUT KITTENS?

 

HOW TO...

Delia Smith has a programme called How To Cook and Alan Titchmarsh now has a show called How To Be A Gardener.

I await an MP's How To Lie and Hear'Say's record company's How To Be A Puppeteer.

Compelling viewing, yes?

The One With The Mighty Antlers

So cynical

FOR ONE SO YOUNG!

 

THE BRITS

May you never be as bored as I was when I watched the Brits! Truly, it makes you question the "music" industry!

I mean, Best British Song — S Club 7?

And, my personal favourite: Best Pop Group — EVERYONE knows there's no such thing!

I've got to go back into therapy now. Remember kids, the Brits are EVIL!

Polly's Cracker

I still can't stop movin'

TO THE FUNKY FUNKY BEAT

 

HOW TO LOOK COOL WHILE PICKING UP A FRISBEE:

  1. Approach the frisbee with a slow, assured walk.
  2. Upon reaching the projectile, pause and make eyes at passing bonitas.
  3. Slowly lower yourself into a squat, eyes firmly on the chicas.
  4. Now look towards the frisbee and grasp it firmly.
  5. Look back towards the babes and slowly rise up.

You have now picked up a frisbee.

An invaluable guide

FOR WHICH WE THANK YOU

 

DEAREST WLW

We 'Ziney folk were just wondering whether you, Mavis and Davord would like the chance to give the eeeeevil Teletext bosses the slip for the day and come to the next 'Zine meeting, in London on March 29.

One good reason to come is that I am personally bringing plentiful supplies of yummy Cadbury's mini eggs, not to mention how delightful it would be for you to spend a day in our company.

So, whaddaya say?

Dissimulation

Eeeeevil bosses? But I love my boss...

I LOVE MY BOSS... I LOVE MY BOSS...

 

FELLOW 'ZINERS

Does anyone else remember The Riddlers? It was the coolest kids programme ever!

There was Mossop, Tiddler and Middler. They lived in a well and solved riddles from riddlestones, hence the title.

Please tell me I'm not the only one who still watches it on VHS?

TheUnitedTruth

You're the only one who still

WATCHES IT ON VHS

 

THINGS I WOULD NEVER DO FOR ANYONE:

  1. Swim all of the oceans
  2. Climb the highest mountains
  3. Cross a thousand deserts
  4. Brave the swamp-infested forest of the Amazon

After all, they're all pretty dumb. I mean, I get tired walking to college.

And who said romance was dead?

The Talented Mr Kipling

Who said it? Your last girlfriend

WOULD BE MY GUESS!
