- Pirate Island Party → London heroes the Space Hijackers take over an island on the Thames.
- Rekkaturvat: “Truck Dismount” → There’s a sequel to Porrasturvat! Now you can smash a truck into a brick wall!
- The Amiga situation continues to degenerate like the plate of rotting meat it is. The choice cuts have long since been eaten away, but there is still a greasy pool of festering bone and gristle left that, amazingly, keeps getting worse. There have been several all time lows which it has consistently sunk lower than. This is spectacularly entertaining, just like watching a real plate of meat decompose: you would feel sick, but you’re too busy laughing. Bankruptcy, fraud, criminal incompetence, and now this maniac stalking them. I think he went insane when his ex-girlfriend (who is apparently the mother of Merlancia’s owner) pulled a gun on him. Yes, this is the same Amiga community we used to know and love. God rest its many-times resurrected zombie soul.
- Where the girls aren’t → The only skeptical society that dares to ask:
What woman hasn’t been cornered by a single-minded, motor-mouthed, Kennedy assassination conspiracist who monopolizes her whole evening?
Being a woman sounds terrifying.
- Face the Facts:
Whenever you’re getting information and you’re not paying for it in full, you should expect by default that you’re not getting the unvarnished truth, because the people covering the costs think they’re buying the right to varnish.
- Teaching shortage to be exposed → Hoho, this should be good:
A long-overdue official survey is expected to reveal that many secondary school pupils in England are being taught by people who are not specialists in the subject.
