Welcome Randy
Just got in from a thoroughly enjoyable afternoon on the sauce, picked up a few of the old mags and suddenly remembered how dodgy the return of the margin characters were!
Used to sneak down to the Art Dept and Marky Kendrick (good lad he was) and meself used to come up with really dodgy stuff, totally over the head of the 'editor'.
Wish I had the one when we had them abducted by aliens, Colbys style - I think that was my last issue, but not sure.
The memories just keep flooding back.
Like Saturday nights at The Sticky Carpet, Ludlow's finest (and only) nightclub.

Indeed. I don't like to play Mr. Knowitall, but Randy, you eventually could try and use the edit button at the top right corner of your last post when nobody replied to it (yet). Instead of posting xx messages containing one brainwave.iain wrote:Bloody hell Randy, you do write a lot of messages one after another!

Once again I emerge from beneath a massive pile of paper which makes my desk groan to bring you the world’s most amazing posts.
Ello Gaz,
Haven't been in the games biz for a while now, unfortunately.
Went and worked for the Press Association for a bit when I got the boot from CVG, then things went a bit tits up, went a bit mad, me dad shuffled off this mortal coil and I ended up back in the North East, where I'm working in a little local firm as a jack of all trades accounts/DTP/you-name-it-I-do-it type of geezer.
Not ideal, but it pays a wage. Not much call for games journos up here, especially narky gits like me!
Still, I hold out hope that one day I'll be invited back into the fold. You never know!
Great to hear from you and that you're doing well, over the moon with finding this site, having a chat with the fans about the good ol' days and catching up with some old mates - heard from Whitta, for instance, who's still living it up in the States, jammy sod.

But you're right, bit of a pedant's corner there.
