Hmmm...
OK, I go and write loads of decent (?) articles, and send them off to
Carnage in London, and then get issue 16 of TW, and find that the adress
is no longer available. Shit. I no longer have those articles as well.
Oh bother! Anyway, here`s some stuff that I`ve thought of as I go
along. Some true, some not, some bigoted, but all in your Earth
language of Ingerlish.

In September, I spotted a letter from D!ck on Teletext (C4) in the
Online section. For God`s sake man, are so discontented with being the
founding father of the Amiga`s best e-zine that you have to take over
Teletext as well? Is there no stopping D!ck? If that is your real
name...
Nice new logo the BBC`s gone and got itself. Of course, all you licence
payers (not me of course - too young! Ha-ha!) will complain that the
money would have been better spent on new programmes, but think of the
following scenario, for YOU KNOW I AM RIGHT... The last BBC logo was a
four colour affair - __ __ __

Well, maybe the ASCII`s crap, and the colour`s may be wrong but who
cares. You see, all of the BBC`s printing had to be budgeted for colour
- a waste of money the new one...

is only in black and white - think of the money they`ll save on
printing!
Let`s congratulate Sir Richard Of Branston Pickle for signing Chris
Evans to Virgin, and getting him to start on the same day as Zoe Ball
and Keving Greening started their new breakfast show on Radio One. I
bet Matthew Banisster is cacking his pants as I speak. Two days into
Chris` new show and it`s already just like it used to be with the old
team back on top form (Chris, Holly Hotlips, Big John Revell, Dan The
Soundman, Jamie Student Bloke, Tina Ritchie (He payed her £60 000 to
quit R1!), but not Justin the Teaboy (he really is a student now!)).
Bannister made a huge mistake letting Evans go, and I give Radio One
about two years before they are consigned to the dustbins of
broadcasting history, along with the entire VHS run of `The Krankies
Funniest Moments` (2 seconds long), and `More adventures of the
Executioners of Bloodlustland`.
Congratulations to Channel Five for going against the odds, and despite
what other people think, it is the the best channel on terrestrial
(apart from the other two `alternative` channels BBC2 and C4). Also
congrats to Jack Docherty for improving your show no end after your
extended holiday, and coming back with the band known as Blair.
