1.<\/strong> OGGIE OGGIE OGGIE – SPOIL! SPOIL! SPOIL!<\/strong><\/p>\n

Sigh. We used to visit Outpost Gallifrey<\/a> all the time for the news, casually ignoring its hemispherist promotional images for the next episode that hadn’t made it\u00a0to NZ\u00a0yet. It worked. Then this<\/a> (June\u00a015th 2007 for those of you playing at home) happened and we’ve been not that keen to go back. “Spoilerish” my arse! You’ve got some ‘splainin’ to do, Lyon!<\/p>\n

2. JUST BLOODY WATCH THE THING – THAT’S WHAT IT’S FOR!!!<\/strong><\/p>\n

Speaking of spoilers, is this<\/a> any way to discuss them? And we thought we all got into fandom for the exciting lifestyle…<\/p>\n

3. ZEUS PLUG IS HISTORY… AGAIN!<\/strong><\/p>\n

Some sad news to impart, but one which immediately raises the value of every issue of Zeus Plug<\/em> out there in hard copy by – ooh, cents probably. Last month saw Jono’s laptop stolen, and with it, the proofs of every single Zeus Plug<\/em> edition known to man. Layout, text, the lot. But here at Zeus Blog<\/em> Terraces we aren’t negative Nellies, and so we should stress that Jono’s tragic loss is also the gain of every collector of ‘zines out there (that’s you Jon Preddle!) If our 5th form Economics teachers taught us anything (and it’s doubtful), that means that every\u00a0issue out there is now rare and thus worth something more than the ‘free’ it originally went for and could be a tidy investment. Hang on to your copies and you could be rolling in it by Christmas. That’s better now Jono – isn’t it?<\/p>\n

4. WE’RE NOT ANGRY, WE’RE JUST DISAPPOINTED…<\/strong><\/p>\n

Here’s an idea Shaun<\/a>: you might find it useful to provide some sort of colour-coded ‘visual’ to qualify just what ‘spoilerish<\/em>‘ means and just how damaging said tidbits could be, sort of like what the President (not that<\/em> president, I mean George W Bush) uses for when the polls are against him<\/strike> terrorists are about. Sort of like this:<\/p>\n

5. WHERE DO YOU GET THOSE WONDERFUL TOYS?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Well, Neville<\/a> could hook a brother up of course, but for the rest of us it’s a slightly sheepish skulk down to the local Ware-whare ‘y’know, just in case’. Watch out for those eight-year olds lads, they fight like tigers!<\/p>\n

and finally, our funny from the Web…<\/p>\n
