March 18th. The day after St.Patricks day. In that case, I think I'll plan my last letter to be printed on Paddys day

Zoë: Big damn heroes, sir.

I thought George had written to 'Zine. Also, I think I dreamt this announcement correctly.
Which means, if I avert some huge disaster, we're all going to die in sequence.

I have actually written to Zine, twice, under two different names. I think one was 'Sex Jones' and other was 'Polkadot Cyril', I think, it was a few years ago now so I forget, I believe one or both of them can be found on the Ziner's list to back up my crazy story.
To clarify, each name only ever had one letter printed.

Sex Jones is on their, It must have been a variation upon Polkadot Cyril then, it might have contained those words but began with a word I've forgotten. Marton would probably remember

Remaining Beardless since 1989

I've only contributed about five letters to the Zine since 2007 and they were all pretty useless. Despite my poor attempt at joining the Zine community I still enjoyed reading the letters each day and it's a shame to see it come to an end.

Being Beardless takes up alot of time. �Actually no it doesn't unless you use a wooden spoon to shave.

Please can we make a big letter from everyone really soon? - we should send it on friday, I think.
Please does anyone have any ideas at-all?

I just found my first ever Shanrocking Bogman letter, so I've sent it back in to be my final SB letter on Zine. For my last Paddy Irishman one, I think I'll sift through some letters I've sent over the years and just have some of the punchlines (kinda like what Mark Lemarr used to do on Buzzcocks)

A genuine collection of leftover punchlines is a great idea! I've got to think how to finish off for myself, but have hopefully four collaborations up before then. I'll hopefully conclude the Rose Temp series (and that entire alias) this week.

I'm not actually sure if some of the punchlines I'm using were ever printed at all. I know 2 of them were. One definately wasn't, and even now may not be printed. Shame though cos it was one of my favourite letters ever

hello all, just a quick request. we're counting down the days now till The End. i suspect there will be a lot more letters for the final edition on the 18th than i will be able to print on the day so *pretty* please don't all wait until the 18th to send in - i don't want anyone to be disappointed and will endeavour to run as many as I can before then.

Found VR by complete chance

I've read the 'Zine for so long and got into it for years. I've seen things come and go but this is one of the saddest.

You've probably never seen, heard, or possibly have known me, for I read but never posted. But it was you guys , along with WLW, that entertained me for so long on those long, boring afternoons.

Thank you.

Wow, I've sent my final ever letter to Zine... and it feels kinda weird, because it's a definite End this time, as opposed to before, where I just kinda vanished into thin air for no reason at all

Also, I sent it in by snail-mail. So it may not even reach there in time, but we'll see
