Wha?

To my delight, I found that I have been compared to several celebrities. I hope you find my list somewhat impressive.

1 Bullwinkle The Moose
2 Harry Potter
3 Mr Muscle
4 Shrek
5 The Empire State Building
6 Darth Vader

Impressive, eh?

Interesting. One photo album I'd love to see this Christmas!

Apple Jaffa Cakes

After going on holiday I recently found the most lovely treat, but not as lovely as the originals- apple Jaffa Cakes!

They're sooo mmm! But the jelly thing in the middle is all green and stuff.

Making noises

Due to yesterday's Zine Drinking Game letter, I decided to go the pub and listen to people drinking as I had never heard that glug sound before. Some of the noises I heard included "goock, "tss-aahh," "enyguf" and "I demolished a big chicken last night hey. Went down like easy like Yurma". He may well have said Burma, that would make more sense.

Congratulations to VM on his/ her/ its triumph in being voted Best Editor this year. But, having failed in my quest for the legendary Teletext T-shirt, how am I going to prove to the university arbiters that I am me when I go for an interview?

Britney

People have a go at her for getting married every five minutes. That's totally unfair. She's actually being quite honourable. She wants to have breakfast with someone, but she waits until she's married to them.

OK, so the marriages only last a week or so. That's not the point I'm trying to make here. I mean, at least she tries. Nobody's perfect.

Boris Johnson for PM! As a staunch Tory I would certainly vote him in. Just because he got fired for stuff to do with his personal life, doesn't mean we can't give him a chance.

Slogans have become very uncreative.

The decline of the Top 40 matters

I agree with Adam that the decline of the Top 40 is important and that Earls was right to point out how few bands are in the singles charts these days.

As a Green Day fan, to see the wondrous anthem 21 Guns wallow about in the lower Top 40 for a couple of weeks before disappearing- when it should have been their first No 1- is so gutting. Especially when half of the tripe that gets to No 1 will never be heard of again. Jaime Carter

One of my lecturers hates me with a passion. Admittedly I did voice to my friend that the work we were doing was "a completely pointless exercise", a tad louder than I meant to, but that's no excuse to hate me, isn't it?

Brown v Lydon for grudge championship

After a Voider's claim that Ian Brown is a world record holder in holding a grudge, I'd say John Lydon beats him hands down. It's over 30 years since he quit The S*x Pistols but his vitriol is as strong towards Malcolm McLaren as it ever was. Nicko

Smokin

I asked a very rude man for some tobacco leaves. He gave me a handful and said "Stick that in your pipe and smoke it!" So I did I'm quitting though. Awful habit. Sorry, I got distracted there by a badly dressed nun. What were you talking about?

Keane of the Rings

Casting for rock biopics? I accept that The Keane Story is unlikely to be made but Lord of The Rings' Sean Astin would be a shoo-in for Tom Chaplin. Indiegirl

The Second Coming is packed with great tunes, with Love Spreads up there with the greatest comeback single. Jai

I'd love to drop big poop on those muppets singing along to Bonnie Tyler on T-Mobile's ad. It's all so cringeworthy. Oh, and Rush still rock. Prog Fan

Junk mail

Though I was planning to skip it, I've bin to a practical lecture on garbage disposal today. I forgot my bike lock, so I had to recycle there. It was just-about rubbish; the lecturer kept trash-talking me, and my concentration went to waste. This girl wanted to copy notes, but I refuse'd to litte'r. We almost had a scrap, until I agreed to be merciful an dfill in her notebook.
