Giving WLW a proper send off

WLW has been good to us all these years. I'm sure you all agree. There's talk of a farewell letter, but seeing as this is going to probably be as hard on the White Line Warrior as any of us.

The ideas behind this post are we should do/get something for WLW.
So far either a collection or individual gifts seem an idea. I'll try and do something from here as well.

Come on, let's give something back! If you can.

Let's all just organise a meet in London in April, and invite WLW to the pub. Buy him a round or three then get him bladdered and find out what he ACTUALLY thinks of everyone

*is only semi-joking here*

I like this idea

I'm reminded of the Now Stalking thread.

I'm pretty sure WLW is a woman and has other jobs within teletext I'd also hazard a guess there's been at least three since I started reading.

Even though no one expected me to, I can't sort any money out due to my location and fear of responsibility.

I'd have no problem organising something but have the same problems. I'm in Ireland with a different currency. I'm up for anything to help out though, be it a donation or ideas or gestures or anything

I like the drawing idea!

Anyway, here's a simple plan that's just occurred to me. We should ALL send (by post) a "Sorry You're Leaving"-type card to WLW so he can display them around the office as a graphic illustration of how many people are affected by the end of 'Zine.

It won't cost much and the individual touch will probably be appreciated. So, get something posted to:

WLW
c/o Mega-Zine
PO Box 32549
LONDON
W4 5TS

(Someone tell me this is a good idea...)

Thanks for the address, this'll come in handy when I finally get him something... (It's really hard to find something...)

It's a good idea, though I suspect the only person it may have an affect on is WLW, as the b*st*rds at Teletext have no hearts or sense. In a purely must-be-mad-to-get-rid-of-something-so-popular way.

Unrelatedly, were WLW to be willing to tell us about the whole thing, of how many WLW's there has been (I'm still naïve and think it's the same one) why it's ended, and basically anything like that (I'd like to know anything he has to say); would anyone be interested, or might it ruin the illusion?

I know this eventuality is rather unlikely, but I for one would be interested in knowing.

Griff: there was an interview with WLW here on VR a while ago, where he said that there had only ever been one of him.

i'm sure he'll be pleased with what you give him.

Strangely enough, I haven't seen a single one yet...
I'll find something I'm sure. Just worried about how long it'll take to find and deliver. I know nothing about sending post here. But I know where the post office is, so that's a start I guess.

Here is my idea. At the next VR meet, everyone should make a poster where they write a message of love and support for WLW. Then they all hold it up and take a photo, which could then be posted on VR.

Would you come to it, Strawberr?

Or we could follow this kind of idea: -Shoe on head gif-

Giraffe on head?

I'm not handsome enough to show my face. D:

:-[ i don't know if i'd have the guts to come to a meet, although i sometimes think i'd like to go to one at some point.

A 'Zine calendar?

Provided I have enough money and sellotape, mine should be in the post tomorrow... hopefully...

Hope WLW likes it. Still working on other things, but they won't be great so I may have to keep them to myself.

I am going to send a postcard, I think, and also I am going to make a mixy CD and a little present too.
Also, Deb's picture is a really neat idea too.

That reminds me that, when i was at primary school, this other girl and i made a special leaving collage for one of the teachers.

i just thought of two more ideas.

On the last day of Zine, we could wear black as a sign of mourning and we could also hold a one minute's silence.

Sending postcards is a good idea I think. I probably won't get time to do one myself but if anyone wants to stick my name on one on my behalf with "f*ck YOU TELETEXT" on the front, that would be smashing.

Scratch that. This is my postcard.

Can't both happen? Though that is a brilliant postcard.

Could incorporate the logo/picture into some form of clothing or something, to sort of commemorate it.

This probably isn't the right pl;ace to say this.

But if I saw a black t-shirt with the pixilated megazine symbol on it.

I'd TOTALLY buy it

(provided it said nothing about VR)

This was basically my way of asking somebody who knows how to do this things to make those things.

I want one too.
