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.\r\n\r\nALISON \"Super Fit\" SKEAT (Production Editor)\r\nBig 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 Halibo-range tablets. But naughty Oz has set about her bubble with his designer scalpel and all the germies are getting in, tee hee. Somebody pass All the Junior Disprin please.\r\n\r\nGARTH \"Firestone\" Sumpter (Staff Writer)\r\nAfter a major bout of Christmas jollies, poor Garthy is certainly a wee bit worse for wear. Jim made him attend every software house chrimbo doo 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.\r\n\r\nOSMOND \"wibbly limbs\" BROWNE (Designer)\r\nPoor little Ossie. Wicked Uncle Jim has been working him so hard, that he's developed a rather severe case of Designer's elbow. He's been scribbling away so hard that both of his elbows have turned to gungey runny stuff and his arms have gone all loppy. What a shame, looks like he's headed for the Municipal home for crumblie old clapped out Designers.\r\n\r\nAdventure: The Sorceress\r\nI've Got This Problem: Rupert Goodwins\r\nAdvertisement Manager: James Owens\r\nSenior Sales: Martha Moloughney\r\nAd Production: Emma Ward\r\nMarketing Manager: Dean Barrett\r\nMarketing Assistant: Sarah Ewing\r\nPublisher: Terry Pratt\r\n\r\nOur Address: [redacted]\r\nOur Phone Number: [redacted]\r\nOur Fax No: [redacted]\r\n\r\nCover Illustration: Jerry Paris\r\n\r\nPrinted by Nene River Press, [redacted]\r\n\r\n©Copyright Sinclair User 1990\r\n\r\nNo part of this magazine may be reproduced/transcribed, stored in a data retrieval system etc, without permission of the publishers, EMAP B+CP.
