$fdd|1-Late Nite...
$8ff|2-Rantings!
$fbf by Dr.Dick
$ffeIt's 03:30 here in Humberston, I am sat all alone in my little office
cos I can't sleep at home, thanks to a bloody dose of the bloody blasted
flu that I caught from Kev, who got it from Mark & Jo, etc etc, and so
on, my sleep patterns are all shot to hell, I'll probably fall asleep in
here at about 8am, but before then, I think I'll have a rant.
$ef0|1-Baby's Bums!
$7ffGawd this makes me sick! Every bloody advert break there seems to be an
ad for either baby wipes or nappies, and the stereotypical trend at the
moment is to wipe the baby's bum with either a wipe or someone's hand!
I dunno about anyone else, but when I'm eating my dinner/tea/whatever
the last thing I want to see is someone stroking a baby's wet arse,
urgh!
I'll wager child molester-perverty-type blokes want more of these
adverts than anyone! When BT cut the "Why is Daddy never home at
bathtime?" from their recent ads, why do we still have to put up with
far worse?
$fcf|1-Nipples!
$faaHow come you can show any part of a female breast on TV except the
nipple yet you can show all of a bloke's tit? Is this biased or what?
Too many ads these days are showing the top/bottom/sides of women's tits
but just stopping short of the nipple, but it's okay for blokes to
parade theirs, reverse sexism surely?
I recall the Nutragena advert that was only on after 9pm and showed some
actress in the shower, in maybe two shots you see her nipple, in one of
them she runs her hand down her boob and - pidoing!! - up pops an erect
nipple, great stuff. It was eventually withdrawn, even though nobody
had actually complained about it.
Advert of the month? - "Dad never was the sharpest tool in the box"...
$dff|1-Amiga Owners!
$ffb...specifically JadeFalcon and friends on #amirc. Look you pillocks,
Phil and meself have been around on the Amiga for years, we know 'em
inside and out, from the chips upwards, but because we now use PC's you
think we know absolutely zilch about them, how stupid is that?
Kicking someone off #amirc just because they're on Virgin - why _that_
annoyed you I _don't_ know - or they use a PC and fancy an interesting
debate about the Amiga and so on, is not big or clever, it just
highlights your own insecurities about the machine, confirming our own
arguments. The channel has been a _lot_ better these past few weeks,
maybe because you were not there?
$af0|1-Lazy Readers!
$effYou get The Word every issue right? And how many of you actually bother
to respond to any of the pleas for fresh articles? Judging by the list
of contributors in the article lists I would say about 2 people! Most
of the work seems to be done by a small core group of people, with the
odd few articles being from new readers. This isn't good enough! Any
mag can only exist with the support of you, the readers. If you simply
ignore it, and just one or two of those regular contributors fade into
the background from outside pressures (ie work or college) then a huge
chunk of the article income is lost. Kei is trying to get the mag up to
a monthly release, and already is has been delayed through lack of
decent articles.
$ff0[Yep. That's one of the reasons this issue is out late. :( Kei]
$ff8As if that's not bad enough, hardly _anyone_ bothers to come and talk to
us on #wibbleworld either... :-(
$8ff|1-Pay Sites!
$fffBrowsing the net is fast becoming a pain in the arse, especially if you
go out looking for nude celebs and the like. There are a few good sites
out there that are free to access, but many of them are leaping on the
"Let's earn some dosh" bandwagon and charging for access. Even if it's
only a few quid a month, it's a large percentage increase in your
monthly phone bill.
My regular haunts are:
Andy Jeffrey's Site
-------------------
A nice basic site, spread all over the internet (not that you can
tell half the time) for maximum space. Andy has a dedicated Aussie
section for all you fans of those soap babes.
http://homepages.enterprise.net/andyj/gallery/index.html
Deathgate Nude Celebs
---------------------
Been offline recently but it might be back, it's essentially one
massive list of celebs.
http://www.deathgate.com/nudecelebs/list.html
Totally Naked Holywood Celebrities Raw!
---------------------------------------
Stupid title, it's similar to Deathgate but it currently has some
links to live video sites, not that there's much to get excited
about. It's also a pay site, you'll have to enter the numbers
below to get to the list.

FragM's Hideout
---------------
Mostly dedicated to british celebs, and so not all of them are nude,
although he has tried to catch revealing shots wherever possible.
The site is, quite frankly, a mess that is only worth a visit cos
of the list of celebs.
http://www.fragm.mcmail.com/
Of course, you could always visit the ultimate nude celeb video montage
site on the web - Bodyshop Central - run by yours truly and Video (both
Amiga people at one stage, hence the title), it's a free site, and can
be found at:
http://freespace.virgin.net/dr.dick/bsc.htm/
Pay sites? You can stick 'em where the sun don't shine! ("That'll be
that deep valley over in Slice" said Weaver) BSC will remain a freebie
site for as long as it's online, we're looking at a sponsor in case we
have to pay for the space it will shortly be using.
$9f0|1-U.S.Robotics!
$ff3The swines! They keep us waiting for bloody yonks for our x2 modem
upgrade for the Sportster WinModem, and then when it does finally arrive
the bloody thing wipes the modem and refuses to install! Sods!
Surely a company like USR can get a product out quickly and in working
order? As far as I can see, the bit missing is the actual 56k Windows
driver which I never got with my modem, although people who bought the
normal Sportster flash got one. They must have something against me,
the swines!
The best bit is, ask them about it and they send you a standard reply
that has nothing to do with the problem, and even better, they have
actually removed the patch from their website! Something is obviously
wrong with it, but is there an apology? No, nothing.
Continuing the "moans", Sacko phoned USR.uk on my behalf to see what the
bloody hell was going on, it turns out that the upgrade should never
have been on the website in it's current state. Well *I* could have
told them that! I am not the only person with the problem, the first
thing the engineer said was "Not another one!", so it isn't just me.
Essentially they're going to call back on Monday with a solution for the
problem, it will either be a software patch (another one? Oh boy...) or
a request to return the modem to USR. Either way it is not good, and I
am still without a modem either way, sheesh!
$ffd|1-Joseph Cox!
$fafHas he been round? Has he buggery! The fact that I haven't been in is
entirely besides the point. He then has the cheek to moan at me for not
bringing him The Word issue 16 - the Bloated Ninja Warrior!
