Hello again                            
                                         
  AAWWW Phooey, not again, more blobs:   
                                         
  Members in credit that receive the DFS 
  version of the magazine please note;   
  due to an oversight in the label       
  printing query in the 8BS database, the
  credit level has been printed          
  incorrectly for all recent issues where
  there was only one DFS disc. This DID  
  NOT affect your actual credit, only the
  way it was printed on the sticker.     
  Basically, I forgot to change the      
  CREDIT -2 to CREDIT -1 when issues went
  back to single discs. I HAD changed it 
  in the reduce credit query, so not to  
  worry, you have not been robbed!       
                                         
  I spotted this when putting the        
  stickers for this issue on to          
  envelopes, so your credit has been     
  corrected in biro. All will be         
  wonderfully correct on the next issue. 
  I hope.                                
                                         
  Peter 'diesel' Waters. I always enjoy a
  visit from an 8BS member. D3W popped   
  across to 8BS HQ to pick up a lovely   
  twin disc drive the other day. On his  
  way here he filled up with fuel,       
  unfortunately, the wrong sort. Diesel  
  in a petrol engine doesn't run very    
  well! It is nice to see this sort of   
  thing happen to someone else! Maybe I  
  should try diesel in my VW Camper,     
  diesel does not burst into flames      
  does it?                               
                                         
  I am Touched                           
  Many people think so! I am grateful for
  the many comments received after I     
  moaned in the last issue about people  
  letting me down. Thanks to you all.    
                                         
  Roy Keeling reminded me of a poem by   
  Richard Harris that sums it up nicely: 
                                         
  "It rains in the life of the just and  
               the unjust fella,         
  But it rains more on the just,         
  Than the unjust,                       
  Because the unjust,                    
  Carries the justs umbrella"            
                                         
  Neil Parry put finger to keyboard to   
  help out 8BS and wrote a missing       
  review. Remember last issue where I    
  bleated on about a member who took a   
  copy of Acornsoft Hits Vol. 1 for      
  review but never came up with the      
  goods? Neil volunteered to do it,      
  unfortunately we got our wires crossed 
  and Neil ended up reviewing a disc that
  had already been done! Any how, I have 
  included his review on this issue as it
  is well worth looking at and it is     
  maybe a good idea to see more than one 
  review about a game any way. Sorry     
  Neil. How about it then? Do you feel up
  to just one more Neil?                 
                                         
  This reminds me of something that I    
  have been meaning to say for a while   
  now. These reviews are the opinions of 
  the people that write them! Pretty     
  obvious thing to say really, but please
  do not let a bad review put you off a  
  game. In this issue I notice a review  
  slating a game that I thought was      
  excellent!                             
                                         
  THANKS!!                               
  I should take this opportunity to say  
  thank you to several members for       
  various reasons:                       
                                         
  Lorna Jenne for the bits of gear and   
  her help given to several other 8BS    
  members. I keep hearing reports of how 
  good you are Lorna!                    
                                         
  Steve Allsopp for padding out blank    
  bits in the 8BS catalogue. He is       
  working mainly on the 512 section but  
  has done a bit in the TAU section too. 
                                         
  Stephan Richardson for the continuing  
  help given to me and other members.    
                                         
  Lawrie Hallam, now left the BBC after  
  donating his whole setup to 8BS.       
                                         
  Alan Hunneyball for finding large      
  amounts of BBC stuff and sending it on 
  to 8BS.                                
                                         
  Paul Clucas for checking the magazine  
  issue for spelling and other errors    
  using equipment that tests his patience
  to the limit. His disc drives keep     
  playing him up but he struggles on! OH!
  and thanks for the padded envelopes    
  Paul                                   
                                         
  Neil Parry for giving me a laugh now   
  and again. Sorry about the review!     
                                         
  Ian Bell for the interesting chats     
  about bits of gear he picks up and for 
  fielding some of the enquiries I cannot
  handle.                                
                                         
  John my oldest lad who can now strip a 
  beeb, clean it check it out and put it 
  back together again with great ease.   
  Who pleased me greatly when he set     
  himself up a B+ in his bedroom.        
                                         
  Gill, my better half who puts up with  
  it all for some odd reason.            
                                         
  That's it until next time
