Do you sit in the same house and communication via internet? It reminds me all of a recent episode of The IT Crowd, in case you missed it:<br />http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oIloa5tTE8g&NR=1Stevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04108945551064939734noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7529903.post-17432178667974248442010-04-08T22:27:48.285+10:002010-04-08T22:27:48.285+10:00Many years ago (the old man said, scratching his r...Many years ago (the old man said, scratching his ribs and hawking tobackee juice into the fire), my friend Jon and I made a zine and in this zine we ran a lukewarm review of another zine, and in the next issue of this other zine the other zine's authors declared that they would bash Jon and I if ever they should meet us. So maybe you should make a similar threat in your next zine. You could take it into Sticky and say: "Hey, here's a free copy of my zine. In it I threaten to beat you up."<br /><br />Or not.<br /><br />I think Matt Ford's review could be improved by being formatted differently, for instance with Matt Ford's name at the end rather than in the middle.<br /><br />"The author needs to tighten up the writing and get more succinct."<br /><br />Matt Ford also needs to stop using tautologies and using different words to say the same thing twice.Timhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01361330734876130185noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7529903.post-17457861102606587842010-04-08T16:36:43.318+10:002010-04-08T16:36:43.318+10:00Octapuses.

I say something similar most days. I'm not sure if I'm old enough to be reading this blog, for that matter.<br /><br />Anyway, what a ripper of a review. My favourite line is "The story of the octopus with a disability who dreams of being in a porno is, frankly, lame."
