THE SPOOF FAIRY There once was a lady from Paris... and I don't have a clue what she did so I'm going away now. Let me guess, she went on Eurostar.
TOPPER ...and then he said it was my own fault for expecting him to be able to support my weight in the first place. Your monkey isn't as strong as my Marcel then?
THE LITTLE YELLOW GHERKIN Can I be a minion, WLW? Can I? I bring Marmite and Avril CDs. Sack the Marmite. I don't do that filth.
THINGS I HAVE LEARNT BY WORKING AT THE NEWCASTLE TELEWEST ARENA
- Ronan Keating's fans are the ugliest.
- Tom Jones' fans are the most talkative.
- Justin Timberlake's fans are the loudest (and most drunk).
- Programmes are hideously overpriced.
- The Telewest Arena gets no good music acts ('cept Tom Jones — David Dickinsonesque God).

OOOH MY LIFE IS SO CONFUSING
This boy asked me out. I like his friend, his friend likes another.
I also like another who has really got my heart (he's so beautiful) and he likes another girl too.
They suck. I hate the male species.

You have now checked in to the
HEARTBREAK HOTEL. I'M IN ROOM 101
I WANNA JOIN TEAM JUSTIN TIMBERLAKE...
But please don't tell my friends!
Yes, I'm a geeky Trekkie gamer, and I think that Justin Timberlake is a ridiculous, over-hyped, Michael Jackson-impersonating, girly-singing, manufactured mummy's boy.
And yet, I really, really fancy him. Aargh.

FOR HIS NEW TOUR. JEALOUS?
SON OF PARSLEY
I remember those great 'Ziners!
I was sat during a (very) boring geography lesson, and thought: "Wonder where The Dark Grey Wolf of Norbex has gone?"
Let me join you in your nostalgia — do you remember Plughole Fantasy? Where have they gone?

Where do wolves go in the summer?
WOLVERHAMPTON?
I KNOW WHERE BRIGGIE THE PIGGIE LIVES
Yes, it's true. On one of my frequent trips away from my home in the centre of Manchester I found a road far, far from the path which was called Brigadier Close.
I was shocked and when I stumbled up the road in all the windows all I saw were hundreds of little elves on laptops typing away to what I can only imagine was the 'Zine.
Mercy Nuts
Manchester eh?
THANKS FOR THE WARNING
FAN CLUB FOR BRIGGIE
Calling all 'Ziners and WLW.
I think we should set up our own fan club for Briggie, our favourite port drinker, 'cos he is not getting any younger so we might as well celebrate his life by setting up a fan club for him!
Who's with me?
Lil Muppet Gurl from Muppet Land
Free port at each meet & pretty girls?
HE WOULD LOVE THAT
MONTY PYTHON
Isn't it time that we remembered to salute these fine gents?
In my head, I can hear the Spam song, the Money song, the song about Eric the half a bee and all the sketches, lest we forget.
I remember particularly watching them at 1am in Spain, in English, but with Spanish subtitles. Most obscure.
