OK, this is a continuation of a thread on LTOZ, so if you wanna know what's going on then please read this first:
Click me baybeeeeeee!

Basically this is a collection of my favourite letters from Megazine (from around the 2000/2001 era) and I'll be adding to it every day.
I don't know who wrote these letters, by the way, so if you recognise something that you wrote, let us know!

OK, hold on to your seats coz here we go....
Now that we're here we may as well go too far.

WLW, if you had to choose between a Wispa, Toblerone and a packet of Minstrels, which would it be?
I have to choose? Choose? CHOOSE?




How does a dishwasher work? I've come to the conclusion that the plates must be cleaned by a tiny person, a dishwasher fairy if you will. He comes out and scrubs till all the dirt is gone. Well, almost all the dirt. There's always one bit left crusted on the edge. Stupid fairy!
Don't talk to me about dishwasher fairies.
No really.... don't.




Ahh, the Golden Age... back when WLW was actually funny.

The cravat is a timeless article of clothing. It lends a touch of class to any outfit.
A cravat? Blimey - we're just one step away from pantaloons.

Can anyone help us, please? For ages we've been trying to contact 'Bill Payer'. That's right, the man who we are supposed to get permission off before using the phone. Anyone who has information on Bill Payer's whereabouts, please let us know.


I know some of these are very corny, but please bear in mind that I have a very corny sense of humour.

Another Brigadier moment...

I am greatly perturbed that Dr Nick's erudite, concise and educative tome 'Living With A Willy' has not made it onto the Sunday Times' bestseller list.
This is scandalous. A book as highly regarded and enthusiastically read as this should have a place in every bookshop throughout the land and should be required reading for the nation.
Alert your MPs forthwith.
I'm waiting for the movie - I believe Disney has the option.

Come on... you must have one of mine somewhere anywhere?? please?? would be nice :p


I've already said, I don't know who wrote most of these so I don't know if I have something you wrote or not! I'll keep posting stuff and hopefully one of yours will pop up.



Backchat is scary. Hug me, WLW, I'm traumatised!



Fun things to do in a lift:
1. Open your bag, peer inside and ask: "Got enough air in there?"
2. Miaow occasionally.
3. Greet everyone in the lift with a warm handshake and ask them to call you Billy Bob
4. Draw a little square on the floor and announce that this is your personal space


Hehe that ^ really is classic Zine!!

I spy with my little eye, something beginning with Table... umm... I mean T. Something beginning with T. Forget what I said about Table. So... any guesses?
Table?

A haiku (an ode to British summertime)

Oh, what is this heat?
I think I might be melting
This cannot be good.

Wow - who said the whole haiku thing was dead?
Me? Was it really?

Ode To Homework by Suicide Barbie

I love to do my homework
It makes me feel so good
I love to do exactly
As the teacher said I should

I love to do my homework
I never want to play
I even like the men in white
Who are taking me away

George the Duck Billed Fridge, admit it, you're wrong! Susan Kennedy is the best looking one in Neighbours and everyone knows that. If she were to squeeze into a pair of hotpants and release a single, she'd definitely give Holly and Kylie a run for their money in the charts!
Sweet Jesus - don't put ideas into the woman's head!



Hehe there's something about the phrase 'Sweet Jesus'... I can't hear it without cracking up.

But maybe that's just coz I'm a freak.

I think these ones must be from 2002 coz there are references to that year's Big Brother. Behold:

Please don't vote Jade off Big Brother. Keep her in. Except at the end... board the place up with her still in there and keep her there for good. Much safer than letting her roam free.


Scientific dilemma - why bother cloning sheep when they all look the same anyway?
Be grateful it's just sheep and not Big Brother contestents.

And also...

I hereby rebel and state that... I liked Tim from Big Brother! I admit it, even though this may cause other Ziners to dislike me. Jaffa cake, WLW?
You can't buy me with... with... Oh, go on then, just the one.



I can't believe how cool WLW used to be!
And then it all went horribly wrong.

This is one of my all time favourite Zine quotes, partly because I live very near the town in question.


I'm tired of people making fun of Wales. It's a wonderful place. As a special tribute, I have composed a limerick:

There was an old lady from Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch...

By all means post your own favourite Zine letters in this thread (because I'm running out of mine now ), but for god's sake make them multi coloured!! This thread is supposed to be all rainbowy and funky... Don't spoil the funkiness!!



Reasons why girls won't go out with me:

1. I like your friend
2. I am seeing your friend
3. I don't know you very well - let's become friends first
4. I know you too well - it would ruin our friendship



That's not particularly funny, but I like it because it's so true.

So, my minidisc pile that rests next to my left stereo speaker has finally become too precarious. To prevent the whole thing toppling over, I have been forced to instigate a two-tower system.
However, despite being more stable, I've lost the symmetry I once had with the CD tower on the right. On the other hand, I now have two competing piles.
This could be interesting.

Has anyone ever seen those road signs saying 'Heavy Plant Crossing'? I sat there for 2 hours in the hope of seeing a giant hydrangea drag itself across the road. Talk about false information. They should be sued!

That's odd. Come down my way - can't move for mutant bizzy lizzies.

Well, I'm all out of letters now. Feel free to add your own if you have any!

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.
Emma: A lot of the regulars can be found on the VR veterans group on Facebook - if you see this and you’re not in there, come join us.
