It's been a funny couple of months. Jon's none too happy at the moment, what with having been introduced to the new Assistant Editor and discovering that not only is he now subservient to a penguin, but said penguin has also eaten all the Toffee Cream Slices. He's sitting at his desk now, and if he sulked any harder his head would implode. I would tell him that he's been delegated the task of driving said penguin to the airport next week, but I don't really want to get sucked into a black hole with Jon's head at the centre. How can I possibly put off the total destruction of the entire planet? I know - I'll answer some of your letters. |

I finally managed to download YS3 issue 5 at work today without the download timing out (after almost two weeks of trying) and I can safely say I HATE YOU ALL. There I was reading your remakes section in notepad (I was supposed to be fixing a database at the time) remembering a particularly cool game of Jetpac one cold Winter night with my cat when I noticed a tear of nostalgia roll down my cheek. To top it off two of my noxious co-workers stop by to have a chat. As if trying to convince them I'm not a total fruit wasn't difficult enough, how am I supposed to explain crying in the warm glow of Delphi 5? Do you realise I'm going to have to find a new job now? Thank you once again. Brendan. AKA. THE SHNIBBULAR ONE, Shnibble, Rundie and sometimes Runt So your cat can play Jetpac? That's a pretty talented thing for a cat to be able to do. I'm going to have to totally rethink my attitude to felines after this, you know. I'd always thought of them as just smelly, arrogant little bundles of fur and teeth, that would think nothing of killing their owners if only they had the opportunity, but now it turns out that they play with Spectrums too. I guess they can't be that bad after all. |

Dead? What Am I Typing This On Then?
Hello chaps, Having been a YS3 reader since the start (no, honest), I was going to make the herculean effort of actually writing a real-life email this month. But since you gratuitously insulted the Second Greatest Computer in the History of Everything Ever (you know what I'm talking about) in issue 9, I don't think I'll bother now. Kind(ish) regards, Duncan Snowden. But... we didn't even mention the Z88! |

Blackmail
Send me six million quid or I'll publish the photos. Anonymous I'll tell you what - you send me one million quid and I'll publish 'em. |

And Another Thing
Oh, and I haven't received my prize for that penguin competition yet, or the one for the star letter in the next issue. I've sent you 5 grams of white powder in order to encourage you to despatch my prizes. Chris Young, via e-mail I have been a bit behind lately, but was all set to pay for the postage on all these unsent prizes and get them posted out. Unfortunately I was going to pay using the profits from selling what turned out to be five grams of powdered chalk. As such, you're going to have to wait a bit longer, I'm afraid. |

Mowing The Lawn
Rambling emails indeed! How dare you insult your entire readership (yes both of them) by implying that our emails are rambling. I haven't written a rambling email since I was in the war and that was only because we couldn't get proper eggs. Not that I like eggs you understand but you couldn't get them anyway. It was all those coupons you see, and not like today's coupons where you get £3 of the latest Travis album either. Not that I think they're a bad idea, especially as Travis have put lots of effort into it. Not as much effort as mowing the lawn mind but still, eh? Anyway, I think that proves my point entirely. AndyC (The Real Slim Nathan) Yes, I rather think it does. |

Only Real Letter
Hello YS-Team, Maybe I am not the only person to write you a letter, but probably the first from Germany. Where have I been in the web all the years that I did find your site so late? Something about me: I own the Spectrum since 1985. First I was only playing games, then programming and later releasing a few demo (we called us "The Unbelievables"). Nowadays I manage the German Spectrum-User-Club and SINTECH, the Spectrum-shop with the widest range of hard- and software for the Spectrum. Take a look: http://www.sintech.onlinehome.de I really enjoy your sites and can´t await to see more. Your site will be reviewed in our next magazine "SUC-SESSION" which has 60 readers in Germany and all over the world. Keep up good work Thomas Woohoo! Our first letter from the land of liederhosen! And it's not in the slightest insulting, entirely unlike the rest of the letters this month! Hurrah! Actually, the more I think about it, the more I wonder - why do all the other fanzines have sane and coherent reader letters, when we get the dregs of humanity writing to us (apart from Thomas here, obviously)? Ho hum... |

Get All
Dear YS3, You don’t really get all this mail, do you? Jon, Yatton Alright, I confess, some of the jokes you write into them do go over my head a tad. Oh, what a giveaway. |
