For this issue we have put together a bunch of different articles that we all hope that you will find enjoyable and fairly interesting. You will find some of our regulars such as Letters to Jo and John and our famous comic strip. We do have to say goodbye to the much loved, witty, and ironic Tom’s Rant. It is sad to see it go but we have a new and even funnier alternative, The RANT!

Just glancing at the ‘woman’s’ magazines’ section in WHSmith or Borders can give the un-suspecting victim an idea of how many ‘Vogues’, ‘Cosmos’ and ‘Heats’ a woman can choose from. Admittedly I am a religious reader of various female magazines. However, recently all the decent magazines have been steadily over-taken by a load of trash.
