The end

Oh no! It is really sad 'Zine is ending. I will miss you like a scary chav misses Red Bull, and shouting at shy people, and driving his tiny scooter past your house at 2am.
Scruffy, Blackburn (Megan Zine)

What do you call a chav in a box?
Innit.
B'dum-dum-tsh!

A trifle concerned

A trifle concerned
Regarding its fate
Will it be preserved
Or hastily ate?
It can never know
For if it's the second
Before it can think
It'll have been eaten.

Its just desserts! Or just deserts? Delete as appropriate.

149 and feeling fine

Last time 'Zine ended, I'd sent 100 letters and retired some time before. But the digital revival started me off again, and in two years I've sent a further, hang on, let me count... 149. Blast. Another week and I might have made 150. This is definitely my last one, so 149 it is. I hope at least a few have been worth reading. Thank you for the happy times, 'Ziners one and all, and cheers, WLW - see you on VR!

End Of 'Zine party

Well I am planning an "End Of 'Zine" party. I think we should have a film party. I was mulling about a 'Star Wars Meets The Rocky Horror Picture Show meets Star Wars with alcohol'. And, for Mondo, Santa Claus meets The Ice Cream Bunny without alcohol'. Does that sound like a good idea?

End of 'Zine as we know it

Well, it's been a good run. Here's some motivational speeches I've memorised for an occasion like this. Ahem:
"Strike me down and I'll become more powerful than you can ever imagine".
"Hasta la Vista, Baby" in conjunction with "I'll be back".
"Tonight we dine in hell".
And don't mess up the place after you leave, I'll probably have to clean up. That's not a speech, it's a warning!
The Janitor
Mr Motivator you ain't.

Hmm, WLW changed my "49" to "149" (after the 'let me count' part); I actually have only sent 49 since 'Zine's been digital, so it's 149 in total over nearly eight years. Probably should've made that clearer.

Also, what's with the reply? Something to do with missing letters? Hmm.

i think the reply might mean that WLW will miss your letters.

Or it could be because there was a mention of chavs on page 1, which inspired WLW to reply in a text talky way.

OR, perhaps WLW is getting lashed in these last few days, before coming into work. And then sobers up in time for the other five letters.

My manager does on many an occasion, and yet still we beat Edinburgh's profits on those days. I swear the alcohol makes his selling-brain work better.

On a different tangent,;oh noes! 'Someone'* might look up VR on the internet from Insane Jam Sow's letter!

Yeah, i thought that as well. i do sometimes worry that m**** ray or d*******s will join VR. If they ever did, i would ignore them.

So long as they don't Google for where the Wikipedia entry went, as I did in order to accidentally find this place, then all should be okay.

If I have in fact just jinxed us, I'll make/buy you a cup of tea.

I don't think I'm the first person to mention VR in a letter, surely? I would also think that if people haven't found this place by now, they're unlikely to bother.

yeah, its been mentioned plenty of times before, and hinted at even more. Besides, if they'd ever seen the 'Zine wiki page or even the deletionapedia page thing they could easily find us

What I found most shocking is that you've only written in 149 letters. Pretty much the definition of quality not quantity

No, you're not the first. It's been mentioned a few times on Zine.

Darren is most certainly not my god!

I do remember Andrew saying not to send the address in any letters though, because too many people might join, or people we don't WANT to join. I could be making all of that up.

I still have no real idea who he his. All I can think about is possibly seeing him having a bath in a tub with some weird contraptions on the side

This may need to be in the dreams thread

If you've seen That Mitchell And Webb Look, series one I believe had Robert Webb as a character like Adam Hart-Davis using things to make science/history more fun.

Also, I have just remembered possibly seeing Adam Hart-Davis in a similar situation to the one Barry mentioned, but I forget whether I'm thinking of a bike or a bath. Bit of a grey area.

It was a shower powered by pedaling it. Victorian invention or summat I think.

Emma: I know there aren’t many people looking at this anymore… but I have made the decision to stop paying for the VR hosting and to let the domain lapse.

Emma: I think it will be going offline around the end of May

Emma: It’s been almost 10 years since James passed away… and I feel like it’s time.
