February 1990
Jim "Black Death" Douglas
Good grief, he's looking pretty manky this month, eh readers? Poor Jimbly has been struck by the dreaded Flu epidemic. He's almost overdosed on Chloraseptic and is feeling very sorry for himself, and would like someone to give him a cuddle, please. Eurgh yuk, go away drippy bogey snout.
Al "Super Fit" Skeat
Big Al's looking well smug with herself as she's the only one who's managed to avoid the lurgie. That's because she's been holed up in her Michael Jackson-style oxygen tent munching on garlic pills and Haliborange tablets. But naughty Oz has set about her bubble with his designer scalpel and all the germies are getting in, tee hee. Somebody pass Al the Junior Disprin please.
Garth "Lager Poisoning" Sumpter
After a major bout of Christmas jollies, poor Garfy is certainly a wee bit worse for wear. Jim made him attend every software house chrimbo do because the rest of us were too "ill" to go, but it looks like he had a few too many beakers of Um Bongo. Quick lads, abandon the loo, here he comes.
Osmond "Wibbly Limbs" Brown
Poor little Ossie. Wicked Uncle Jim has been working him so hard, that he's delivered a rather severe case of Designer's elbow. He's been scribbling away so hard that both of his elbows have turned to gungy runny stuff and his arms have gone all loppy. What a shame, looks like he's headed for the municipal home for crumbly old clapped out designers.

COMPETITIONS
|
|
Win A Wacky Stacky
Blast out your eardrums with the sooper dooper hi-fi thingy on offer from US Gold in their Black Tiger Crossword competition. The temptations we have to withstand in order to just give away these fantastic objects each month are incredible.
Win A Ferrari
As if you hadn't read it before. Actually, these five model Ferraris are really rather super. They're finely detailed metal models of the F40 supercar. Even the steering wheel works.
Win A Metal Goblin
Lots of lovely little metal creatures are sitting in the fairy grotto which is Uncle Jim's desk drawer just waiting for a lick of paint.
Win A Ferrari
We're not going to pretend that we're offering real Ferraris, because every other magazine says pathetic things like that don't they? They're remote controlled dooberrys, so you either want one or you don't, OK?
Win A Diving Suit
We've all tested it out by backstroking through a few puddles in Farringdon Lane to make sure it works, and it does.
