EDITORIAL — Sorry for the delay, my electronic typewriter has not been working! Also there are just too many distractions. As always, I got no response to fedupmag ten. No one will read it. They all think it’s a get-rich-quick scheme. Ever get the feeling you are not wanted? It’s not easy doing a zine with all the hostility.
When you think about it, normally the media only write about the price of things, no one else ever notices the unavailability of quality goods. Equally, you would never see any article complaining about everything being available in pink. It’s one of those things no-one ever mentions. I only do analysis that no-one else does.

I had hoped that my sceptical article on carbon dioxide would be picked up by mainstream media but no chance. The article on film being better than digital was ignored also.

As you can see, what I’ve done is downsized, decluttered and relaunched my zine. It is 8 pages now. I’m bringing it back as a text-heavy freesheet. I’ve decided the official name now is
‘fedupmag’. I reckon (at least by Irish standards) it’s a good, clutter-free issue, no filler. Eight pages are more manageable than the traditional dozen. Zines usually have dozens of pages but this is only to give the impression of value for money. It’s all filler.
Because it’s no secret my brain is turned to jelly. I start typing a sentence and I forget what I was going to type.
Me nerves are jumpy, me brain is destroyed. I get totally confused. [...etc.]
