Capricorn (22nd December - 20th January)
A distress call from a distant planet will awaken you from hypersleep this week.
You will explore the calcified remains of an enormous spaceship and come across some curious pods.
Sadly, the innate curiosity of Capricorn will lead you to come too close, and a repulsive,
tentacled creature will burst from one of the pods and smash through your space helmet,
affixing itself to your face.. Hang on; I think I've got a bit muddled here..
Oh, right, here we go: Try talking through your personal difficulties with a close friend
this week; they could do with a giggle.

Aquarius (21st January - 19th February)
Due to Venus' transit, your entire astrological chart has been transposed this week.
To see what's what, consult Cancer (22nd June -23rd July).
Pisces (20th February - 20th March)
As usual, those of us born beneath the Sign of the Fish will be blessed with preternatural
good fortune in every aspect of our lives.
I won't go into further detail, as it may look to everyone else as though I'm rubbing
their noses in it - those poor, hapless berks.

As election fever once again utterly fails to grip the nation, please don't forget,
www.catsandkittens, the struggles that our forefathers and mothers underwent so that we could
enjoy the rights of sufferage. Those of you who don't feel that the deaths and imprisonment
of countless men and women who believed to their last breath in the principles of democracy
still isn't worth toddling ten minutes down the road for have, of course, been catered for.

Freed as you are from the tiresome chore of standing around a primary school sneering at the
incomprehensible daubs of six-year-olds and trying not to breathe in the robust bouquet of
officious, menopausal Electoral Officers, you can vote by post.
Just think, a quick nip to the post office, and you will have exercised your inalienable
right to have your say delivered to a bemused kebab-shop owner - assuming, of course,
that it doesn't end up stuck in an obscure railway siding outside Kettering.

Articles - Things To Do Before You're 30 Part 3 By Sarah Tomlinson

How many people here in Hull (sorry 'ull) can describe their life as .. Get up, go to work,
go home, and go to bed.. with a little food in the middle.
A lot of people do this for a living; another lot of people are doing it in waiting for one
thing, which will change that rota.
Man, am I waiting. As a lot of you know by now, I am waiting eagerly to get an A-level in
biology and chemistry so I can go to

Because the streets are ours!
Because we can!
Because direct action does bring satisfaction -- it gives us a taste of working together, making decisions ourselves, and it's inspirational and it spreads like wildfire!
Because Car Culture sucks. Cars are destroying our lives and the planet, and they isolate all of us, especially

So what do you want to be when you grow up? a father asks his son.
Ten years ago there would have been a good chance the lad would have said Rock Star
but ask the same question today and you will probably be told Footballer.
How many people can you drag to The Adelphi

Articles - Things To Do Before You're 30 Part 2 By Sarah Tomlinson
|
|
When I was younger, like most iddy-biddy girls, I had the dream of being a pop star. Singing, dancing, whatever on stage and having thousands of mad fans calling my name and singing the words of my latest single.
Admittedly that dream carried on for me. So much so that it's kind of still there. But the dream of stardom

Things which happened in the thirties flutter by me like calendar leaves in an old movie
and I try to catch some of them as they fly.
There was the Graf Zeppelin which flew over Hull in 1932 as part of a goodwill tour.
Many people believed that its crew were photographing the docks and industries

Concrete kid. That's what I told her I considered myself. Bollocks to the countryside. The fresh air would probably kill me! Urgh and the smell of cow-shit! Ah, how wrong could I have been?
We travelled up to the Dales, far up in the north of our great county. A place where they have proper hills like! Not flat-land like 'ere! Dry-stone walls, sheep,

They say the first lines are always the hardest to write. I suppose they're not wrong.
It took ages to think that up.
I'm Sarah, 18 years old and born and bred in Hull, or as the locals call it 'ull. Hull is supposed to be the bog hole at the end of the M1.
I disagree. Hull is a place where you can do almost anything you want, within the law

Ours was the typical terrace. Some had houses with small front gardens and a path down the middle to each front door.
Not so Alex Avenue; a short dead-end courtyard with seven houses on each side.
Foot traffic only, in fact the head of the terrace was enclosed by a hoop topped iron fence with a gate

For many years I had heard of the myth of the Hutt Street Party.
Spoke in whispers across the Avenues enclave for years, many had heard of it, quite a few had been to one, but still many it seems are in the dark.
Basically it goes like this.. By word of mouth you get to hear about the party, which goes on in the house on Hutt Street. Hence the name!
