ISSUE 24 May 27th 2000
		G A Y D A Y S . . . . Look out for a ‘gay avalanche’ coming your way. And who’s driving the ‘pink snow plough’? Well, it’s none other than good old ‘one bottom, one whip’ Stephen Gately. Please tell me this is a terrible joke. This man has all the talent of a bowl of porridge. However, as soon as he hit the big time by singing and miming with a bunch of squeaky clean Irish boys (who looked as if they were doing work experience for Dixons) he’s suddenly plastered everywhere. Especially this month as his new single ‘New Beginning’ hits the shops on the 29th of May. And in this months ‘Daddy, what’s this in my trousers?’ you get a free booklet on everything you need to know about the life and times of ‘sperm wouldn’t melt in his mouth’ Stephen. It’s crammed full of heart rending quotes that I am once again only too happy to translate……… Stephen Gately : "I feel very different from the rest of the group, but we do have a lot in common." Translation : ‘I feel very different from the rest of the group. I’m Gay. They’re humping every 15 year old on the tour bus, whilst I’m trying to watch my ‘Queer As Folk’ video collection. We do have a lot in common. We can’t dance, sing, and we don’t really come from Ireland. These accents are all put on to add to our appeal. We’re actually from Bolton.’ Stephen Gately : "We couldn’t afford a fancy dress costume one year, so my Dad made me go out and pick up all the litter off the street and wear it as my costume. I attached a sign that said ‘Keep Dublin Tidy’. I couldn’t believe it when I won first prize." Translation. ‘My Dad dressed me up to look like a right prick. I was stood in all this fucking rubbish. We were so poor that one year we had a lovely BBQ and the hot dogs were my sister’s fingers. I can’t believe I won that fucking stupid costume competition. I was the biggest cock in the village.’ Send the card BEN.
