Wednesday March 1st 1995. Hallo Peeps. Brrrrrrr. It is a wee bit chilly here in the Zone tonight. Bloody WINDY day today too. Is this what March is all about? Oh joy. Began the day by cobbling together a montage of shots from the groovy little party-ette we had last weekend. Talk about bizarre dancing! Collett wins the 'WEIRD DANCE OF THE YEAR' award for his 'Ghouls & Ghosts' special. All will be revealed in 'XMAS CHORTLES 2' ... Had to escape from the wrath of the builders today so I went round to see Rich. Showed him the amusing dance footage and me being Riggers at 'Jedi'. We played a wrestling game on the SNES and had some chortles playing Mario Cart. There was a classic while we were watching 'Home & Away'. Irene was on it and I said "She's as rough as bags" and later in the episode she actually said "Everyone knows I'm as rough as bags"!!! HEHEHEHEHHOHOHOHHAHAHA etc. How we laughed. Big Rob gave me a lift home and I slobbed around in evening. Did a teeeeny bit of BZ work, watched Brookie and stuff like that. Righty ho, I'm off to watch 'Hard Target' on video now. See you lot tomorrow. From:- Klogs. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Thursday March 2nd 1995. IT'S SNOWING! There's a good six inches off the stuff everwhere. And it's REAL snow, GOOD snow, ideal for hoying at Mr Passerby. Snow is kewl. Unfortunately, the weather bods say it will clear soon which means - SLUSH! Gaaah. The vid I watched last night - Hard Target was a pretty good film actually, too much 'slow motion' footage but not a bad shoot 'em up. Lance Henriksen plays a brilliant bad-guy. Pity about Van Dammes hairdo! Started work on ANOTHER package for Angry Robot today. Tapped in a 'Top 50' list which was a 'laugh a second' and began designing the menu for the 'Galway' demo. Also compiled him a Miggy disk which is now finished. Yippy yup. Goggled at the telly in the evening. Watched the 'Glam Metal Detectives' for the first time. WEIRD. Catchy theme tune though, and the robot ... ummm, Sara! She's a BABE! Also scoped out the 'X-Files' which was pretty funky and the 'Weird Review of the Year' which RULES. Why can't they make a longer series out of it?! What have I listened to for most of the day? HAMMER, SAW, HAMMER, SAW, HAMMER, SAW, HAMMER, SAW, HAMMER, SAW. The builders also severed my TV ariel which is punishable by DEATH I reckon. Track of the day: Hammering and Sawing - the E.P. Album of the day: Drilling and assorted building din. And now, cast your attention to tomorrow because today is ... HISTORY! From:- Karaoke. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Friday March 3rd 1995. Hey ho readers. I looked out of the window this morning and what did I see? Planet Hoth! Snow everywhere. And guess who had to go out in it?? Meeee! Before I left the Zone I crafted together some packages and prepared my photocopy masters. Then I piled on several more layers of clothes before departing. Crunch, crunch, crunch. Reached the town. Crunch crunch. Posted swag. Crunch crunch. Got photocopies sorted. Crunch, crunch, crunch. Walked up to Rich's house. Snowball fight time!! We had much fun hoying snow at each other. He caught me a beauty after throwing a snowball OVER the garage! I looked up and the sky was filled with this giant snowball which hit my face and dripped freshly down my neck. Brrrr. We made a snow 'Silly Sam' and did other adult and mature things like that. I shovelled all the snow off the roof onto Rich. Chortle! Wheeze! Crunched back home to thaw out a bit - even though it's nice and sunny outside! Weird weather. Did a few more BZ bits in the afternoon and added a plethora of tunes to some classy SEUCK games. Bogus thing of the day - my telly picture has glarged. It's not worth taping Beavis & Butt-Head in crappovision. Flaps. And now I will leave you folks because I'm SODDING TIRED! Au revoir! From:- Knutz. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Saturday March 4th 1995. Hello Diarrhoeary. I'm afraid I don't have much to tell ya today because basically I did absolutely FACK ALL! One thing I did do was add music to all the SEUCK games that Andrex Rootbeer sent me the other day. Actually, they turned out rather well which is a bit squiffy. We didn't win the lottery today. Sob. Watched some of the 'Pot Night' programs in the evening. Cannabis is cool. Huhuhuh! mh! huh! Here's ten interesting fack(ts) for you to inwardly devour:- 1) Those two slags in 'Birds of a feather' are PISSING ME OFF because they are in loads of adverts and shite telly programs. 2) Catherine Zeta Jones is an undisputed BABE. 3) Laurie Pike has got nice legs. 4) Annabel Giles is COOL - She kicked ass on Noels House Party. 5) Carol Vorderman is clever. Smart IS sexy. 6) Gates McFadden is a FOX! Ssshhhhwwwiiinnnngggg. 7) I've got the f*rts tonight. 8) Tuna sucks. 9) The snow is GONE. 10) Anita Dels was on 'Live & Kicking' today. Hubbahubba. There you go, hope you enjoyed that little lot. Oh by the way, I actually DID tape Beavis & Butt-Head yesterday. Do I win a prize or sommat? See ya. From:- Kong. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Sunday March 5th 1995. Kenz the hard-working hero is here to entertain ya. As it was a boring old Sunday I dug out some jobs which I wanted to get sorted out. Surprisingly I got them ALL done! Here's the details. 1) Got a package for Antonio G.Mata all ready to posted. Money in the BANK! Kerching Kerching! 2) Finished the package for Andrex Tampoid. It features 4 C64 disks, the miggy disk I compiled last Thursday and a large letter explaining what's what. 3) Did a package and letter for Waz which is now ready for posting. Had fun stuffing FIVE disks into a size 3 jiffy bag. It CAN be done 4) Typed in FORTY answers to Waz's 'Kenzterview' questionairre thingy. (This took OVER TWO HOURS by the way). I found a CLASSIC music tape to play while doing all of the above work. It's called 'ELECTRONIC MUSIQUE - VARIOUS' and I hadn't listened to it for ages. It's a bosting compilation! Watched a brill program about the Titanic in the evening. Did you see it too? If not then you missed some interesting stuff. Time to go, be careful when crossing the road. From:- Konker. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Monday March 6th 1995. Greetings once more dear readers. I decided not to do ANY work as I busted my proverbials yesterday. In fact, I threw back my head and laughed out loud at my post. I also lobbed the v's at it etc etc. Get the general picture? So what did I do instead? PLAYED GAMES! Ha harrr! Dug out lots of classics on the '64 like 'Fist 2' and had an enjoyable romp. (Fnarr). Also had a serious session on the Sega (alliterates Kenz). That's all I did, there is nowt else to tell. This is going to be a SHORT diary entry methinks. I'm off to beddie-byes to read 'The Wounded Sky' - a bit of a Trek novel. GATES MCFADDEN - I'M YOURS IF YOU WANT ME! From:- Alex Kidd. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Tuesday March 7th 1995. Greetings Chumlets. Got a few other BZ bits sorted out but things ground to a standstill as I have completely run out 60 minute tapes and catalogues. Oops! Got hyper-far on 'Alex Kidd' today. I managed to reach 'Janken the Great'. The wanker zzapped me with fireballs. Grrrrr. I'm gonna chin him. Rich got some amusing messages broadcast on the RADIO today ... Things like 'Message to Kenz - I can't wait for Xmas Chortles 2' and 'Message to Lee Collett - Throw Elvis around the room' etc etc. Guffaw! The house is still a wreck. The builders are installing the bay window now so there's a humongous hole in the living room. It's a grin a second here at the Binary Zone at the moment. Toodlepip! From:- Koma. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Wednesday March 8th 1995. "SLUDGE UGGA BONK!" Howdy Readers. I had this great dream last night. In it I met this blonde girl and we chilled out together, stole lots of cars and were generally being cool. Later on we came across Kraftwerk! That's my mind for ya. The destruction of the Zone continues. Hammer, Saw, Drill. Great. Plenty of dosh arrived today so I sorted out some orders before leaping up the town. A bit of a shite thing happened in the photocopy place, the copier was doing a massive run for some turd so I had to leave. I stormed back home and quickly cooked some pizzas to calm down. Ventured back up the town and got my copies done (finally) and lots of swag lobbed in the post. Saw Karen Barr up the town. She's a babe ... She's got a lisp ... She's a lithp babe! Home & Away ruled because Sarah was wearing THAT yellow top. Boobs alert! By the way, I've got an ulcer in a SODDING AWQUARD PLACE. It's right at the back of my mouth by a back tooth. ARGH! I've put some ulcer stuff on it but I keep swallowing it. Yummy. Time to go, the sleepy monster is coming to get me. (Noooo! Classic!) Bye! From:- Kung Lao. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Thursday March 9th 1995. Well, scrumble my frumbles! Here I am again after a pretty froody sort of day. Ran away from the building site which used to be my home this morning. It looks like the set for Auf Wiedersehen Pet! (Which is on TV on Saturday - Kewl!) Arrived at Rich's place to repair his battered hard-drive but he had sorted most of it out already so my job was easy peasy. When I returned home I could hardly recognise it. New bay window in the front, new front door, new panelling ... Rather des-res stuff. Rang Mat 'Clinically Strange' Recardo tonight to arrange Sundays japes. The light is green so I'm off to Redditch this weekend. Bonza! X-Files was NOT ON. ICE SKATING replaced it. Blooargh!! Not much else occurred. Watched the Glams (Sara is still a BABE!) Ummmm, typed this stuff, went to bed etc etc. You know the routine. See you on the marrow. From:- Gee Keith. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Friday March 10th 1995. Yooo Slaaaags, You're goin' daaaaaahn. That was my best impression of an episode of 'The Bill'. Today I got a healthy heap of post. Must be our new 'lucky front door'! There were more orders for Amiga stuff than C64 stuff which makes a change. Got a phonecall from a very amused Andrex Rocketeer today. I stuffed some naff 'Quality Street' choccies in his jiffy bag and the coffee cream got splarged all over everything. Hoot! I think the 'BAG OF SWEETS' demo idea has just been born. Also got a call from Russ Michaels. He was moaning about all the mistakes that appeared in his game reviews in the various computah mags. Doh! Frolicked up the town to pay some sheets into the bank. They didn't accept bed linen so I deposited some cash instead. Got my packages posted and bought some tapes. There's a bit of a lush girlie in WH Smiths ... I made her laugh and she has a LOVELY SMILE! Uh oh. (Kenz burbles and drools for a few minutes). Oh, er, ah! Had yet another rip in the Sega and chinned Janken the Wankor. (literally!) Now I'm faced with an obscure puzzle thing. Shite. Finally, taped 'Beavis & Bumhole' and then tripped, stumbled, er, FELL asleep. Zzznorre. From:- Kondom. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Saturday March 11th 1995. Howay man! Phfeeuuuuwww. This place STINKS of paint today. Probably because there was some painting going on downstairs. Excuse me while I die due to fume inhalation. Got one poxy order this morning. It requires a 60 minute tape which I just so happen to have run out of. Tchoh. Got some BZ bits wrapped up including a tape for girly called Gemma. I have no idea if it will work on her deck. On a lighter note, started work on a music tape for Betrayer today. Got a lot of it done too. Kewl. There's an amusing snippet between each track - I just hope he likes Beavis & Butt-Head! The first episode of 'Auf Wiedersehen Pet' was on tonight. CLASSIC! You would have thought I'd have been sick of builders by now but it was still a hoot. I had a laughing hernia when Oz shouted 'Bollucks'. It was the one we sampled YEARS ago! (Grin). And that's all I have to say for now I'm afraid. There's some sort of porno evening on Channel 4 now so I'm gonna hoy a tape in the video. Auf Wiedersehen! From:- Krout. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Sunday March 12th 1995. "Sprouts, tapey wapey!" Glorious sunny day today chumlets. Did a bit more work on Betrayers tape this morning but didn't get far because of the WRATH OF COLLETT! (Well, he arrived basically). As there were thousands of people visiting this here building site we left PRONTO for the far flung lands of REDDITCH and the dwelling of Mat. Tested Betrayers tape in the car and Collett was AMAZED when his name was announced on the radio. HEHE! "Throw Elvis around the room one more time" said the foxy radio chick. Many hours were then spent watching Trek stuff (I got the pilot episode of 'Voyager!' Yippee!) and copying millions of files from his BBS. We also watched the 'faces of death' video which was NOT GOOD. Avoid this if you can. It is not very pleasant. I went a strange shade of white while viewing the grisly footage. Me and Collett left Mats abode STARVING!! I weighed FIVE STONE by the time I got home. Was too knackered to eat my lunch which was then supposed to be my tea. Watched some of 'Voyager' in beddie-byes. Good stuff. Knaa worrimean?! Chow few now. From:- Kaboodle. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Monday March 13th 1995. "CRASH CLATTER CRASH SLOP!" That was the noise of me coming up the stairs a minute ago. I'll explain about that in a mo. SIX BLOODY BUILDERS were here today. HAMMERHAMMERHAMMERDRILLPLASTER! Guess which hunky movie celeb had the job of making tea for them all? (Clue, his name rhymes with Benz). One of the builders bought me his Amiga 1200 to fix. Surprisingly enough I fixed it too! Dr Kenz to the rescue. Strode out into the brilliant sunshine to post packages to Alf and Waz. Implemented 'letch mode' up the town but there was nowt clout about. (!) Actually got a phonecall from Waz too. He has FOUND the new Bigod 20 album!! A new CD for me, lots of BZ credit for Waz. Yakki Daaa! Began wading through some of the swag I got from Mat. At last I have some pictures of Scully. Slurp! Went round to Rich's in the evening and watched 'Fortress' on video. Pretty average blaster I spoze. Not a classic. Got home sort of midnight-ish and zapped on the kettle for a niiiice cup of tea. I then switched off the lights and climbed the stairs. Uh oh! Little did I know that someone had put all my little brothers toys in a tidy pile on the staircase. "CRASH CLATTER CRASH SLOP!" I went arse over mullock instantly and threw my tea up the wall. The noise was amazing thanks to a metal biscuit tin bouncing down the stairs. There's now toys EVERYWHERE. Pick them up? Sod that for a lark. Gonna watch some more Voyager now. G'night! From:- Klumsy. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Tuesday March 14th 1995. Hiya! Rather nice start to the day today. Plenty of cash came pouring through the 'lucky letterbox' and a recorded delivery package from Waz. This means only one thing ... A new CD for Kenz! The package contained 'Supercute' from Bigod 20. I didn't get to hear it until late in the evening thanks to the noisy builders being here all day but when I played it some ass was KICKED severly! It's f'kin awesome! Bigod are BACK! The first track is probably one of the best on the album. It was so good I *STOPPED* playing it because I couldn't believe what I was hearing!!! Wooooow! Rushed around like a blue arsed fly trying to get packages completed and posted. Didn't really succeed. Oh well. Babylon 5 was pretty average tonight. It featured that nice blonde psi-babe though. SwiiIIiiIIiing. (Lordy, Kenz is ogling a BLONDE!) Album of the day:- Supercute (Bigod 20). Track of the day:- 'One' (Bigod 20). I'm gonna leave ya now. More Voyager to watch! (It's taken me 3 DAYS to watch the pilot episode ... !) Pilchards to you all. From:- Kranberry Sauce. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Wednesday March 15th 1995. "Frisnit!" Hey ho readers. Got Phils music tape finished off this morning. FeekZoid wanted to play some of the Beavis & Butt-head bits I used on it to his chums so I went through the tape and played bits of it down the phone. Feeky then put the phone on 'hands free' and his office was filled with B&B chortles. Got a bulging package from Jason Kelk today. It was crammed with the blank disks he owed me. He also sent my Beavis & Butt-Head anim which he ported onto the '64. It looks MEGA! Huh huh! Mh! Huh! Did a replacement package for one of my members. I posted a package last wednesday and he STILL hasn't got it! I handed in a complaints form to the post-office and sent the replacement package RECORDED DELIVERY. ErrRRrr ... Didn't do much else really. Blasted the new Bigod 20 album out a bit loudly, it still kicks ASS! Collett rang, we are going to trash his place on Friday. Tee hee! OH GIBBER! The member who's package got lost also rang. IT HAS JUST ARRIVED!! I sent it first class and it took exactly a week to get there. Silly me has just posted his repacement and complained. Oops. 'Arachnophobia' was on tonight. That film is NOT scary. When I saw it at the flicks people were SHITTING THEMSELVES! Nothing else to say my friends. Guess what I'm off to watch now ... ? VOYAGER! They could have made a series out of the bloody pilot episode! See ya tomorrow. From:- Kodak. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Thursday March 16th 1995. "Trust No-One". Hiya gang, Drrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr! That was the massive noise which began the day. The builders were using a f'kin PNEUMATIC DRILL on 15 inch thick concrete outside. The entire HOUSE was vibrating. My brain hurts. Left the house VERY EARLY and met Mike up the town. We went into WH Smiths and who did I see? That nice girly! She is CUUUTE. (Kenz turns into large jellyfish). Had a brief trip into PC land and tweaked the inlay for the 'Shoot Em Up Destruction Set'. I also knocked together a disk label. Woooo. We then had some fun with the Speccy and C64 emulators. I'll be sending those suckers to Jon soon. When I got home the first thing I heard was Drrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr! Yup, the racket continued. It was the last episode of the 'X-Files' tonight. Damn fine stuff. Oh yeah, I got a SUPERB full-screen hi-res pic of Scully from Mike. It's a 'wet hair' type pic. Hubbabubba! Come to Kenz. Eeeeeh, that's all I reckon. I'm off to Colletts abode tomorrow for some air-rifle fun. I think I'll go and watch a bit more VOYAGER! (Will it ever end?!) See yoo. From:- Koin-op. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Froodoi Martch Seventeenf 1997. Alrighty ya focken bastads. Just got back from the boozaah. It's Mez's burpday shelebration time so we have just got pinced. Mez is 24!! Arrrgle! Old age strikes. Any old how, We hadddd mmany laffs at the pubbbbb. We were reminisssing about old chums long gone. Saw Phil (aka ASSASSIN) in the prub and had a birruva chat. Errrrm, Phil menshunned that Markk Sheeve was (or has) released a new album ... !!! F'K! I must write to C&D rite away for a crappylog of warez. Feel a bit groggie chumz. Ive bin drininking Tennunts all noite and my keyybburd skills have diminished cunsiderably. Oh, er, went to Colits hoose in the day and shot stuff with the gun. I shot his rain barrel thingy and water pissed out of the hole. Ooopy. Smiley babe was at the pub toonite. Kewl. She was boing a thrusty babe. FOCIN HELLL. I CARNT TIPE WHENI IM'M PISSED! I had one little jobbie to do for Blinary Zoone. I had to pist a letter and I DIDDN'T! hahhhahaha. It's still on me shelf. Oooo! Had lots of orders today but I dind't do them becoz I wasn't HERERE! I'm going to beded now. GOodnight readers, From:- Kenezz the pisshead. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Saturday March 18th 1995. Ow my sodding HEAD! Why do I drink Tennants? It ALWAYS gives me a hangover. Nyeuuuur! I didn't exactly do very much this morning because of my throbbing (fnarr) head. Slobbed around watching shite TV programs and generally spent time recovering. Floated up the town and marched boldly into WH Smiths to see if the cutey girly was there. She was so I turned into a large jellyfish and bought a tape. That's all I did! I couldn't think of anything cool or witty to say to her so I drawled on about some nonsense and then retreated quickly. Humongous Kenz failure there folks, I hope you enjoyed it. Got a surprise phonecall from FROSTIE today! It was the first time this YEAR I had heard from him so we had a good natter and caught up with things. Tried to contact Mike but failed. Where has he buggered off to huh? Watched and taped Auf Wiedersehen Pet while munching kebabs. Nice way to spend the eveing methinks. Then I reached the energy gap. Probably because I woke up at 7 o'clock this morning! Yaaaargh! Babe of the day:- Scully / X-Files. Gunna get me some kip now, gunna get me head down. G'night. From:- Kadburys Krunchie. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Sunday March 19th 1995. They are out there ... Ooo-eee-ooo! I'm just spooking myself with UFO type stuff at the moment. Anyway, lets get on with this diary thingymawibbler ... Had a great dream last night folks, Beth Jordache was in it. I can remember holding her and buring my face in her long dark hair. Don't you just love it when you get dreams like that? Don't worry though, nothing happened to make me smuggle my sheets into the wash. (Chortle! Snort!) Went to Mikes first thing to do some much needed PC work. I spend utterly AGES doing a new version of my tape catalogue and lots of inlays. Mike had some new episodes of X-Files taped off Sky so I quickly scavved that tape. Once back I home I settled down to watch hours of glorious new episodes while munching pork crackles. Aaah, BLISS! Got an idea for an 'alien invasion' concept which could be used in a multipart demo. An alien head symbol appears when each part has loaded and a creepy message appears under it - I.E: 'THEY ARE OUT THERE', 'THEY ARE COMING' and 'THEY ARE AMONGST US' etc etc. Nifty huh? I've drawn the alien head and it fits nicely into a hi-res sprite. Kewl. That's all I did today so there's not much point in me tapping in more drivel. I'm off to watch more Scully ... Erm, I mean X-Files! (Ahumm). See ya. From:- KNOB. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Monday March 20th 1995. Yo Dudez! Did a SERIOUS amount of video taping today. I shifted a 'Spielberg and the Dinosaurs' documentary onto my 'making of' tape and then taped hours of 'X-Files'. Is watching that much paranormal activity good for you? Watching that much Dana Scully is good for ME! Meanwhile, I was updating one of my utility disks which took AGES. The end result? It looked exactly the same as when I begun ... Shite. The guy who's Amiga I fixed gave me a tenner today. That's not bad considering all I did was shove a disk cleaner in his drive! HEHE. I really should put that money in my 'HOLIDAY FUND' ... We'll see. Got my various orders packaged up and just made it to the bank before they closed to pay in some squires. While in the post-office I bumped into Lydia. I couldn't think of anything to say to that cute blondie blonde because all my small-talk is being geared up for the girly in WH Smiths. (She wasn't there today though ... Blub!) Watched the first episode of Space Precinct today. Not bad. Groovy aliens, cute non-alien girly copper, some iffy acting and some very Gerry Anderson-esque effects (surprisingly). In the evening I prepared lots of disks for Frostie and transferred my 'alien invasion' piccy onto the C64. Looks kinda funky. Then I prepped the video for 'Body Snatchers' which is on tonight. Fell asleep while watching it. ZZzzZZzz From:- King Dong. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Tuesday March 21st 1995. Greetings once again Earthlets. Usual chaos and mayhem here at the Zone. The drilling and sawing continues downstairs while I keep the C64 public supplied with staggeringly nice PD bits. One of my trusty members (huh huh! mh! huh!) sent me a load of piccies of the lovely Anita Dels today. Woah! Pity that 'Ray' has infiltrated them. (Mr Tarantula Head - HOHO!) Got a sending for Jaz Kelk sorted out and a package for Waz too! It's weird, when I DON'T have to do stuff I seem to get more done than when I am overwhelmed ... Odd. Got some spends from Greece today. The guy sent me 6000 drachmas which worked out at just over 15 squires. Lloyds bank then kept 3 quid of it for bank charges. BASTS! And now, cue the fanfare - I COMPLETED ALEX KIDD ON THE SEGA TODAY! I sussed out the stupid puzzle at the end, collected the crown and then observed the CRAP end sequence which is just a load of boring text. No huge animation, no extra confrontation with pissed off Janken, nothing like that. Oh well. I kicked ass anyway! Babylon 5 was quite cool tonight. I wasn't too impressed with the new look Delenn until she wore THAT evening gown. Ka-BANG! Watched (and taped) 'The Mask' on video. That film is a definite grin. Alarmingly good special FX. And that my dear friends is that ... See ya tomorrow. From:- Kosmic Kanga. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Wednesday March 22nd 1995. Bompitty bompitty wetchow wibble! 'Ello Gits. I'm just listening to some Miggy chip-style zax at the moment, hence the odd intro. Jochen Hippel music is KEWL. Anyway, I was supposed to go into Worcester first thing today but due to the post being a tad late I didn't get there until after 12 o'clock! Gnnnnn! But hey, we don't have a go at the postie do we? Of course not. He'll deliver boring bills and no spends if we chin him. What the flaps am I going on about chumz? Ummmm, spent a while doing a package for the guy who sent me some Anita pics. He mentioned he saw a big poster of her so I offered him lots of PD tapes if he sends it. Could Binary Zone media replace pounds sterling?? We'll see. Had a chortle in WH Smiths. I admitted to one of the women there that I had a certain 'interest' in the cute girly. Her grin almost knocked me over. Tee hee! Worcester was a massive floaty turd I'm afraid. There were lots of weirdo holy Joe's milling around and as I was so late getting there I had to rush around like a winged insect with a blue bottom. Spent over 15 quid on photocopies (Arrrgh! - Good beer money down the drain). Now that I have billions of catalogues my 'in-tray' is going to get severely 'seen to' tomorrow. (Fnarr). Got a phoneycall off Collett this-salvo. His car has blown up. Brookside is a bit chub at the moment because everyone is dying! A mystery virus is causing everyone to be in a state of deadness. Oh, and Beth isn't in it. Blah! Here's a thing though ... Emma Piper. Is she good looking or not? She wears tight tops & short skirts but her figure isn't exactly 'svelte'. Thought I'd get me head down early but then ... RRRING RRRING! Phone rings, Kenz waffles for a few hours, midnight passes, Kenz falls asleep holding phone. Well, I didn't really but I just know one day (night) I WILL fall asleep while talking to someone on the phone. Ooops, diary overload. I'm gone. From:- Kybosh. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Thursday March 23rd 1995. "They must have hidden the plans in the escape pod". Alrighty? Bunged millions of catalogues into envelopes today before rushing up the town to catch the post. Didn't get the chance to see HER as I was rushing like a thing that rushes. Completed Alex Kidd AGAIN today. Now that I know how to do it the game is piece of piss to finish. Had a lush tea tonight. Some sort of stir-fry thing. Sodding YUMMY! Finally, had a massively LOUD Bigod 20 session. Listened to all of 'Supercute' and then an old Bigod compilation I made yonks ago. I hope my ears stop bleeding soon. Honk! Track of the day:- Slavery is Guaranteed (Bigod 20). Can't be bothered to type any more. See yoo. From:- Krakatoa. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Friday March 24th 1995. Peepo! Made quite an early start today and got letters printed, packages wrapped etc etc. I had 7 jobs to do this morning and ended up with 7 little packages ready to go. No problemo! I then went outside into the brilliant sunshine to survey the building work and the postie arrived! It was 12:05pm ... Argh! Troddled back upstairs and began work (again). As well as the builders outside the carpet fitter also came today. Just as he was laying the last bit of carpet the cleaners came. Once they had finished pithering around the house Rich arrived!! Will I get ANY peace?!?! I think the builders have finally FINISHED folks. All these weeks of hammering and sawing are OVER. Thank Crom for that. Waz rang me in the evening. Well, he SORT of rang me. He was using a portable phone and in mid sentence it went crackle, pop, hiss, fart, crackle, CRACKLE!! Bzzzzzzzzzt. End of phonecall. Began work on the 'Best Of Bigod 20' this evening. Got all of Side A sorted. Give a medal before I shoot you in the toe. Gonna tape Beavis & Butt-head now. Ciao! From:- Karnage. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Saturday March 25th 1995. Bo Shuuuuda. Juzt got bak from anither pub. Prpeare yourself for some slurred text tapping and harshch languadge. Fock shit smeg poo. Got funk all in the way of post today which means I could get tu work on some other projekto's.

In the eveig I got pissed at the pub, got home, stamped upstairs, powered up the old miggy A1200 and tapped in some wurzd. I hope I don't have truench-head tomorrow. G'nigt from:- Kfhlkße. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Sunday March 26th 1995. "I got everything under controllllAHH!" (Bigod lyrics alert!) Greetings chums, I hereby declare today BIGOD 20 DAY. I decided to finish off the 'Best Of Bigod 20' tape and so all I have heard ALL DAY is the powerful sounds of the mighty Bigod. Did some work on my latest Beavis & Butt-Head anim. It's now about half done and so far features two complete frames and two 'sketched' frames. I used the frames on Waz's Bigod tape inlay which I also produced today. Blew a fiver on the lottery yesterday but due to SHITE numbers being picked didn't win nowt. UNDERPANTS! It's been a very odd sort of day because we put the clocks forward an hour so it's just kinda flown by. Tee hee! I never altered my red clock when the clocks went back LAST YEAR so it's now showing the RIGHT TIME! Can't think is anything else to type. Gonna go and blast my brain with more Bigod. Track of the day:- It's easy (Bigod 20). Farewell. From:- Kreusch. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Monday March 27th 1995. "Sew a button on this ... Chlobble!" Wotcha gamers. Lots of printer noises emitted from the Zone this morning as I printed the inlays I produced yesterday. I then zzoomed up the town through a typhoon to get them copied and then carried on to Mikes abode. Had a big session on 'Dark Forces' ... The game is pretty groovy but it's HARD. Once you've blasted every Imperial trooper you come across all you do is run around an empty base solving crappy puzzles. Blegg. Spent most of the afternoon on the phone. Got calls from Andy 'Creme Egg' Roberts, FeekyZoid and Jason Kelk. (He wants me to write 3 large scrollies. YIPES!) Watched 'Bottom' in the evening (the TV show, silly!) and 'Game On'. Samantha Janus is a BABE! She nearly fell out of her a top a couple of times. SLAVVER! Suddenly came over all knackered so I crashed and watched 'Aliens Spesh Edish' in beddie-byes. Game over man! From:- Kaboinga. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Tuesday March 28th 1995. Greetings to YOU! Phew, this place HONKS! Paint-pong alert ... Now that all the building work has finished the decorator arrived to slop paint and paper on the walls. Things are starting to look well kewl now. Thank Crom for that. No more sodding MESS everywhere. Hey wow, the post office sent me a cheque for £12.00 to cover the package that got 'lost' a while ago. Serves them right for taking a week to deliver it. You know I said that someone had spotted a huge poster of 'Tribal Dance' Anita? Well, the shop has run out. BOO HOO! Apparently the poster came from a 2-Unlimited concert ... Pity I won't be getting one now. BLUB! Did I mention that Andrex Rumpole sent me a CREME EGG through the post the other day?! Smirk! Well, I ate the sucker today. It had wonked a bit and it fell to bits when I took the wrapper off but it tasted pretty good. Got covered in goo while eating it. Tee hee! Revenge! yess! I will have my revenge!! Launched Waz's copy of the 'Best Of Bigod 20' in the post today along with some other assorted bits. It's hard to get any work done when your making CUPS OF TEA for decorators all day. GrrRRrrRRrr. Babylon 5 was average (again) tonight ... Not much blasting, just mundane events happening on the station. Perhaps they are saving the budget for something BIG. Hope so. Began the fun task of writing three large scrollies for Jason Kelk tonight. Sort of got them all finished too! I'll have to port them onto the C64 and tweak them a bit but most of the text is written. I'll try to get them posted to him tomorrow. Must remember to watch the repeat of Coronation Street tomorrow lunchtime. Someone told me to check out Tracy in hospital. Hunh? Why? I'll check it out. I'm outa here. Ciao! From:- Kermit. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Wednesday March 29th 1995. Gidday mates. We had some splendid weather today. Glorious sunshine which beats the shitty rain, wind, snow and other crap that's been thrown at us recently. Got heaps of cash today which is damn fine stuff but I didn't get the chance to get it all posted because I was farting around with scrolly messages for a Cosine demo. The decorating downstairs is finally finshed. YEEESSSSSSS!!! Oh, I did watch the repeat the of Coronation Street. Guffaw! Tracy in hospital was filmed in an unfortunate way because she has got HUGE KNOCKERS and they were a bit obvious. Would I sit there ogling some poor girl in a hospital bed? Too bloody right! (Large amount of audience suddenly leaves). Oops, erm, I was joking! Honest! Traipsed up the town to post some stuff. Peeped into Smiths to scope out the cute girly but she wasn't there. BOO HOO! I then ambled along to Mikes. He had just started to show the pilot episode of Voyager to his big fat Dennis Nedry-esque mate Steve so I had to sit through all of that. I did collect all my laser prints though which looked a bit good. Brookside is VERY strange at the moment. This killer bug storyline is basically killing everyone off! Hmmmmmm ... Oh, due to the lack of Beth Jordache recently I have decided that Emma Piper IS cute. If you've got a problem with that then FAK AARF! Here's a little poem for you good readers which just popped into my head:- "MY COMMODORE 64 LOOKS LIKE A BEIGE BREADBIN ... AND WHEN IT CRASHES ALL MY CODE I'D LIKE TO STOVE IT IN" ... (Cue loud audience acclaim). Strewth! Look at the time! I'd better get some kip as I've got a backlog to clear tomorrow. L8R DUDEZ! From:- Killer Kabbage. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Thursday March 30th 1995. Welcome to ... YOUR DOOM! HAHAHAR! (Doi?) By jove, one is certainly feeling drained. Jodson! Did the heap of work I received yesterday. Got it all done too. Good call! What a spiffing wheeze. Watched a chunk of Star Trek 5 today. Dunno why, just felt like it. The film is not thaaaaat bad ... Well, okay, it is a bit of a duffer compared to the other Trek movies but it's still watchable. Shock and trauma of the day. I think they have renamed 'Take the high road' to just 'High Road'! Anyway, it was dead groovy today because Trish looked WELL TASTY. As everyone was feeling a bit low they all decided to GET PISSED! Classic episode or what?! Had a comedy overload in the evening ... Watched the Glams, Absolutely Fabulous and Men Behaving Badly while farting around sticking bits of inlay together. I think I'll go into Worcester tomorrow and get some more copies sorted. On that thought I'll leave you alone now. See ya. From:- Kappella. P.S. Leslie Ash ... SHWING! -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Friday March 31st 1995. Hello all you pathetic descendants of MONKIES! (Classic Kilrathi greeting). Lurched into Worcester first thing to get the inlay and labels for the 'Desctruction Set' photocopied. Had a bit of a natter in Antics and traipsed round the shops seeings what's what. In my neverending search for cheapo blank tapes I wandered into Dixons and what should I see on lots of TV's? 2-Unlimiteds new video!! I watched Anitas large boobs in agog fascination without LOOKING like I was watching them ... HEHE! Did more work on my latest Beavis & Butt-head animation today. Finished the third frame and almost got the fourth and final frame done too. Yess! All that excitement gave me 'trench head' so I decided sleep would be a good idea at that point. Another month becomes wormfood ... ! Adieu! From:- Bearded Klam. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
