shit.....anybody want to take the hook out of my mouth...am off to bed,what a nobhead..:)LongsightM13 said:Err... manimanc, what do you think BTH stands for? Or is it the rarely utilized 'reverse Clarkie'?

Chips'n'Gravy was superb in its initial form. A while after its death it was re-born and was awful.
Electric Blue/BTH was always my favourite. I think it's because the style of writing and satire of it's writers just clicked with me. I met Steve Worthington the other week at a Supporters Club do and I have read his book. Nowhere else in this world do I find a writer like him who just hits the spot. That bloke has a special talent.
I write for KK now myself. I must admit, I want to try something different and go down the route some of the other fanzines went down, just to try and bring something different to it, but City keep giving me topical shit to write about and it's curtailing my natural ability!:)

Electric Blue/BTH were always a cracking read...... even down to your playlists Noel....!! Was reading some old issues the other day and they brought a smile to my face - definately a fanzine which kept us smiling through some VERY dark days!!
KOTK - was always a good read too. I've not read it for a while now, but Dave and Sue Wallace used to to a good job there - my stand out memory from KotK is the "Kendall Gone" double cover issue!!
I've never read Chips and Gravy (sorry!!) so I can't comment on it.
Can anybody remember a short lived fanzine in A5 format - the name escapes me at the minute, but there was a section in it called"Chance At The Far Post, Hinchcliffe" (Or was that even the fanzines name??) I'll have to dig out them old fanzines again!!

They only did a handful of 'chips and gravy' if memory serves me correctly.
However you'll find that a lot of contributors to them other bastions of the fanzine world 'Bert Trautmans helmet' and 'city til i cry' actually post on here, so your world is not at a loss.
