PADDY IRISHMAN Just Seventeen wasn't just a magazine, it was my education. Giraffic Park was mine.
GUTLESS WONDER I fought the law - and the law won. Doesn't it always?
SECOND PAGE TREATS
PLASTIC FROG I hate winter. Why isn't it Christmas yet? Give it 10 weeks.
ONE-WINGED ANGEL Do you know the Muffin Man? He just moved next door and he keeps burning everything! Maybe my evil presence has something to do with it? I know Muffin the Mule, does that help?
FLUFFY THE EVIL ONE Woo hoo, Gypsy Moonshine Everton Trees rule. I just saw them win Battle of the Bands at JB's in Dudley. They RAWK! Erm, cool.
Does anyone have a cat called
EBENEEZER OR A DOG NAMED RITA?
RTE SUBTITLES
Most of you do not have the pleasure of Radio Telefis Eireann subtitles. Today I was watching the news, complete with - slightly delayed - subtitles, and it was telling me about the Wallace and Gromit fire.
First it said "the creators of womt." Then it changed to "wromt." Then it changed to "womt wromt".
Finally, it went to "womt womt", then gave up, continuing with what was left of the story.
El Borto
Why didn't it go for the obvious?
WOGRO WOULD HAVE MADE PERFECT SENSE
APHRA THE POST-MODERN SPY
You're right, I certainly do not own a mobile burger van. I am much too educated for that, but it wouldn't be the first time a politician has lied to us all, would it?
I like the sound of a post-modern spy. Do you hunt down Orwellian subtexts in hostile political regimes?

I'd love to be a spy
BUT DISGUISE COULD BE A PROBLEM
I DON'T LIKE SOUND OF THAT
I read today that legendary rock singer Ronnie Dio, who I see in concert on the 20th, likes Evanescence. Mind you, he could be biased if he influenced them.
However, his theatrical singing doesn't cause me to lose the will to live as his clear mid-tones are very easy on the ear, plus he has red hot guitar players.
If only Vivian Campbell was with him (sigh). Guess I'll have to catch him with Def Leppard instead.

Not sure about men in make-up
BUT STILL BETTER THAN JAMES BLUNT
SQUIRRELS - PART 2
A few weeks ago, I was in Newport city centre. All of a sudden... I saw a squirrel! It walked down the street, and then it walked into a shop. It was an amazing discovery.
A few months ago, I saw eight squirrels in one day.
Oh, and I saw eight squirrels a couple of weeks ago.
Juicy Strawberry, Hector's House
What we all want to know is
WHAT DID THE SQUIRREL BUY IN T'SHOP?
TO CLEAR SOMETHING UP
Having been referred to as "a very blunt man" I feel the need to clear something up. I'm a girl.
I can see how the whole antlers thing might be confusing seeing as only male animals have antlers and I did once mention having spent a lesson wearing a paper moustache but I'm definitely female.
Just slightly odd.
The One With The Mighty Antlers
Do you have a deep voice as well?
THAT CAN CONFUSE PEOPLE
