Why?

You must have heard the saying "why don't you just switch off your televison set and go and read Hunter S Thompson instead..."?

Anyway, what about Hunter S Minson who used to do the Fear and Loathing column in Crash! the ZX Spectrum mag?

What about writing a book about someone while they're reading Hunter S Thompson?

... visit a friend in a home or a hospice

At the risk of sounding like that Sunscreem record, phone or visit your parents.

Send a friend's photo into the News Of The World.

Hunter Thompson has some amazing things to say... esp. in 'campagin trail 72'

no relation to Emma Thompson...?

Whatever happened to Crash, Sinclair User, etc?

Why not use your pet rabbits to recreate Watership Down?*

>Whatever happened to Crash, Sinclair User, etc?

Crash folded around 1991. Sinclair User departed quite late, well after the 8 bit era was over, around 1994. Your Sinclair (the best of the bunch, esp. after the other two had gone crap) was killed off in 1993.

There's sites dedicated to archiving old issues of all three of these magazines. I can't be bothered to find the bookmarks now. Just go to google (www.google.com) and search for Sinclair User or whatever.

Why not try being homogenous?
Why not try running guns into a South American country?
Why not try sitting on the dock of the bay?
Why not try being magnetic?
Why not try going to Piccadilly Circus and saying "Blimey. it's like Piccadilly Circus out here' to everyone who passes you?
Why not try copying things people say on telly?

I also have some original comedy to contribute: it's about Margaret Thatcher being a bit horrible, and how she should leave office right away.

Yeah! Right on! Victory to the miners!

Are you kidding? If Labour ever get back in, it'll be the three day week all over again... oh, no that was Heath. Well, the unions will dig up all the dead people and pile them up in the streets, mark my words. And unemployment will go up, perhaps as high as a million!
