THE MANDYLOGUE
It really has been ages since I last rambled on. A great deal has
been happening, none of which - I hasten to add - should have
prevented me from producing a mandylogue every month. After all, if
our Tony can go off back to school to get himself a diploma or two and
still get the disc-mag out on time then I have no valid excuses to
offer except boneidleness (hah, that one should stump the spell-
checker).
Don't you all think that Tony is doing extremely well with the
diskmag? It is all quite facinating, lots of different ideas,
although I do notice that the dreaded "lift routine" is raising its
head once more, and each issue crammed full of 3D material. To think
that the reason for ending the original Newsletters was that "there
was only so much that you could write about one particular program".
Tony really thought that there was, indeed, much more to be explained
and has gone on to produce 27 further issues to prove it!
Things are really looking up and our contributors are really getting
"posh" both Bananaman (Tony) and Mieke are now on the Internet! I
think the reason that Tony likes to have my little bits and pieces of
contributions are for purely sentimental reasons - I really am a
genuine fossil now.
The last issue of the diskmag was excellent. Nice letters section.
You can always tell that a magazine or diskmag is healthy by the
liveliness of the letters section. There was only one thing wrong and
that was the lack of letters from J.W. and Micky the Martian - shame.
I would differ in opinion about the bit about Stonehenge in another
section though. I was always lead to believe that Stonehenge
contained rather a large quantity of blue stones from Welsh Wales.
Being as I am writing from that land of song, that land of mountains
mists and ancient castles, I will dispute the Anglesising of those
ancient Welsh stones.
Well Summer has finally arrived. I was wondering if we were going to
get any warm weather this year. I missed Spring altogether and have
been cursing the clouds every day until this morning. My neighbour
told me that we had a sunny interval the other day but I must have
been indoors at the time as I missed it. As soon as I've finished
writing this I am going to get the garden furniture rigged up and the
old parasol out and do some serious sun-bathing. Goodness the kids
will be off for the Summer holidays in three days time and this is the
first nice day we've had. I reckon it is all my fault as I bought
myself a pair of shorts (well the kids call them "longs" but when
you're my size they are as short as they are going to get!), and a
sack of barbeque coal ready for a scorcher. I might even wander down
to the beach later on. Despite popular opinion, when you live near
the sea you hardly ever see it.
Well, enough waffling for now. I'm going to get myself a long cold
drink and bask in the sun now. Funny, now I've got no teeth of my own
I can even suck ice cubes without a twinge! Byeeeeeee for now.
