QUEER? Queer in the head..! By Rich Mills

I recently picked up a copy of a new zine called Queer. A new newsletter for the non steryotypes (sic). A supposed literary publication that can't spell stereotype is a bit crap, and that is only the front cover. The inside pages, most of them blank (like the mind of its author) are even worse.

Now firstly I applaud anyone who takes the time and effort to produce a zine, but I wish this person hadn't bothered. I hate to see trees being destroy for the sake of it. I mean if I need toilet paper I'd rather go out and buy some soft recycled stuff, than use this hard shiny stuff that passes for literature.

According to the poster that accompanies Queer, the author is linked to the Renegade Writers. Now as one of the growing band of renegade Renegades, I wondered if this person is planning to take the group down the literary toilet with them. I'm sat here wading through this shit, flicking the pages back and forth, looking for something worth commenting on, but can't find anything. It's all just pathetic, childish, inane toss, written without any intelligence or forethought.

Queer sets back gay politics a thousand years. Hard to believe it was created by someone who is gay. I could have done a better job as a hetro! The front cover says, IF YOUY ARE EASILY OFFENDED, DO NOT, I REPEAT, DO NOT ATTEMPT TO READ THIS PUBLICATION. Now I'd skip the inside pages and jump right to the back, because as the back cover states.. THE AWFUL TRUTH is that this publication will offend its readers.

It'll offend not because of its razor sharp wit (joke!), it'll offend because you'll have wasted at least 2 minutes of your life flicking through this piece of shit before you realise that you shouldn't have bothered picking it up in the first place.

Opinions - Life is too Short By The Lazyswede
	I sat on the quiet banks of the river watching the early morning mist twist and swirl while the water meandered slowly into the distance, listening to the far off sounds of the city as the people made their way to work Car horns blowing and the sound of voices carrying on the gentle breeze. Yet although so close, I could Read more...

Opinions - What is Reclaim The Streets about Anyway? A Personal Perspective
	Many moons ago in my misspent youth, I, like many others, used to have a problem with Authority and 'fought injustice' wherever I discovered it. So I joined others in the grand mass of those in the non-conformists uniform, and would march, relevant placard in hand, most Saturdays. These days the Read more...

Opinions - Musings By Mark Pollard
	A couple of things that have perplexed me over the years: Firstly, why the link between heel bars and key cutting? They always seem to be combined under the same roof. I don't geddit. Potential for major calamities, too - imagine going in for a new heel on your brogues and ending up Read more...

Opinions - Pete Docherty Is Dead! By Rich Mills
	The headline they all want to see! I've watched the development of what is a disturbing form of hero worship. The desire to see self-destruction in the flesh, is how I read many of the reviews I've read about Pete Docherty, Babyshambles, the Libertines new album, Read more...

Opinions - The End of Solidarity? By Jane Foster
	Recent experiences have spurred me on to write this little piece. In the space of a year or so I've gone from being a community-loving socialist to something resembling an individualist...well in some ways anyhow. I'll start from the beginning. Having been brought up on an estate with definite community Read more...

Opinions, Reply - Of monkeys, mice and men. By Martin J Deane
	In her A Call for Peace, Michelle D Clark covers much ground as to why we do awful things to each other. The key is, to quote her, that We are all guilty. We are. We are all guilty - we make enemies. We create them out of people who think differently to us, or eat rice, or act in different ways. We are human; some people annoy us, some wind us up, others Read more...

Opinions - The War By Carolyn
	Since the war in Iraq has been reported about, I made a silent agreement with myself that whatever thoughts about the war I have I will not write about or permanently express in any way. I think this is because of some type of anger that I haven't felt Read more...

Opinions - Will graduate plumbers be up to the job? By Jane Foster
	The recent programme Posh Plumbers on BBC1 highlighted the growing number of middle class graduates and professionals turning to plumbing for a living. With a national shortage of 32,000 plumbers, and salaries to match those of a decent job in the capital, the profession is changing. Read more...

Opinions - Come On You Hull! By Laura Baldwin
	So our latest award to sit alongside our much treasured worst city to live in the UK award' is that of the fattest city in the UK. Yep, not content with telling us that we live in the most crap city in the UK but apparently we're also a bunch of big lard arses as well. Charming. It seems that no-one has anything good to say these days about the historic city of Hull. Read more...

Opinions - Haircuts In The Crowd By Mr. Lucifer
	If you are becoming bored of the vain, look at me I'm so cool culture that swamps the nationwide indie/rock scene and if you are sick of standing among people with the same haircuts, the same clothes, and the same transfixed miserable look on their faces, then, you are obviously craving exactly what I am Read more...

Opinions - The Moaning Bulldog Breed. By Engelbert De'Moaner
	I must admit I'm just as prone to moaning as the next person; God it's raining again; It's too damn hot; What, they've put the price of fags up again! So what! Who cares? Just stop bloody moaning!

Opinions - Blame By Darren Sant
	I didn't say you were to blame, I said I'm blaming you. I am getting heartily sick of the blame culture we live in these days. Something goes wrong in the hospital, we sue. The dentist pulls out the wrong tooth, we sue. Admittedly we are not as bad as Americans yet, thank god, but Read more...

Opinions - A Call for Peace By Michelle Dee Clark
	Martin Luther King had a dream. His dream was crushed by jack booted, hooded ignorance. There has always been wrong in this world. From the trials in Scottsboro* Alabama in the 1930's to more recent events in Jasper Texas in 1998**. We are all guilty. When you talk of Kosovans and Iraqi's you focus on what the media want you to then project that onto everyone, be it ethnic minorities or anyone Read more...
