 Subject:Poem - "I'm Tired"
 
 Yes I'm tired. For years I've been
 blaming it on middle age, poor
 blood,lack of vitamins, air pollution,
 saccharin, obesity, dieting, B.O, and
 a dozen other maladies that make you
 wonder whether life is really worth
 living.
 
  But I've found it isn't that!
 
 I'm tired because i'm overworked.
 
  The population of this country is
 51 million
 
  21 million are retired
 
 That leaves 30 million to do the work
 
  19 million are at school
 
 That leaves 11 milion to do the work
 
  2 million unemployed
 
 4 million are employed by the
 Government
 
 That leaves 5 million to do the work
 
  1 million are in the armed forces
 
 Only leaves 4 million to do the work.
 
  3 million are employed by Councils
 
 1 million left to do the work
 
  620,000 are in hospital
 
  379,998 are in prison
 
 That leaves TWO to do the work
 
  You and me!
 
 And you are sat on your arse reading
 this.
 
 
  NO WONDER I'M SO BLOODY TIRED !!!!!

 Hi
 I have played most games on the beeb,
 and welcome any queries and requests
 about them!
 
 I would also like to hear what members
 favourite games are, and high scores
 they have achieved!
 
 My favorite games
 areCitadel,Galaforce,and of Course
 ELITE! but I have loads of others I
 play regularly!
 
 I also have a website dedicated to the
 BBC Games, and those of you with
 access to the internet could head to:

 Subject:shop - more details
 
 Further to my report about a shop in
 Gainsborough, I can now give you a bit
 more information after visiting it
 this weekend.
 
 Not only does he sell and repair all
 sorts of computer bits and pieces, he
 also does tv/video sales and repairs.
 
 The gentleman in charge, "Ron" is very
 helpful and will also do part
 exchanges providing he has enough
 interest for bits you want to
 exchange.
 
 If you don't see what you require
 please ask as his stock changes
 regularly and he also services most
 items before putting them in the shop.
 
 If he hasn't got what you require, he
 will make a note of your details and
 try to locate it for you.
 
 Prices are reasonable, and I'm sure
 you could get a better price if you
 ask.
 
 Needless to say, I came away with a
 Model B, Twin Viglen 40/80 drive,
 Color CUB monitor, and a box full of
 books, games etc for around 70 pounds.
 He even provided me with a screwdriver
 to enable me to see what extra
 firmware or boards had been fitted.
 
 10 out of 10 for service.I shall
 definately use this shop regularly
 even though it is a 40 mile round
 trip.
 
  WELL WORTH A LOOK IF YOU ARE IN THE
  AREA !!!!!

 Subject:Fuel Consumption Bug
 
 The Oct 90 Beebug Disc carried a Fuel
 Consumption Calculator programme which
 is very good and very accurate in use
 with mileage in Galls and Ltrs running
 over the last 1000 Mls as well as the
 overall MPG as well,
 
 The programme also asks you the date
 as well the Day / Month / Year
 unfortunaly in the year part it's down
 as 19 and if you go to Line 2390 in
 either FConB or FconM and change the
 19 to 20 in December 1999 you will
 have corrected it for the Years 2000.
 
 The one question that makes you stop
 and think about is will we have any
 Petrol / Dieselor any cars by then?.
