1 ' This month I recived the firstissue of 'Sinclair Classic'.This is a new bi-monthly tapemagazine. Issue 1 is fairlysmall, but magazines are usuallylike that when they first startup (SN 1 & 2 for example). Themagazine is very well presentedand text is easy on the eye.There are some reviews of oldSoftware and Hardware and aamusing comic strip. There'salso the usual magazine stufflike adverts and features etc.For the first issue, I thoughtit was very good. I look forwardto the next issue. 7/10.

1 % Well, it's Monday 2nd of August(I write each issue about amonth in advance in case you'rewondering!) and I have just gotthe final issue of YourSinclair. It was nice to lookback over the years of YS, butat the same time 'sad' to knowit was the last time I could goin W.H Smith and proudly pay fora Sinclair magazine. The finalissue of Sinclair User was verypoor, there was no farewells assuch, apart from page 34. Atleast YS went out in style. YourSinclair magazine and itswriters will be greatly missed.The best of luck to all of thestaff in their new jobs andthanks for all the hard workover the past 10 years. Gone butnot forgotten.

1 # You've seen them in The MaryWhitehouse Experience and JasperCarotts show, nows the turn oftheir stand up show. To behonest, I was never a fan oftheir sketches in Jaspers show,but I thought I'd check thevideo out anyway. I'm glad Idid. 96 minutes of laughter.Featuring 'Mr Strange' singingTake Me To The Fridge. I thoughtthis was all highly amusing.Other good sketches include:Soft Toys (Teddy!) and TheChippendales. Great Stuff.

1 ! The magazine size is A5 (half A4sheet of paper.) The front coverhas a great picture of what canbe best described as 'Saturdaynight at the Gravesend Satanclub' Content wise, the magazineis VERY well written. There isthe usual Editorial, letters andfeatures. As well as Chip Shop,a sort of Program Pitstop. Issue19 featured 32 easy to readpages. The price of thispublication is `1.50. In myopinion, it's worth every penny.It also covers public domainsoftware and games reviews. Youcan clearly see the editor andwriters put a lot of time andeffort into ZAT and the endresult is very good.
1 ! Steve Martin is back! The boxhas a quote from the Sun saying"Miss this one if you dare, It'sa hoot!". I don't agree. What Ifound was average watchablefilm. It did have its funny bitsand it did have a story, but I'msorry, this film failed to hitthe mark with me. The funniestbit was where Steve said "Don'tforget to secure your condom!".Ideal family viewing. AlthoughMum's would probably enjoy this film more.
1 ! SINCLAIR CLASSIC,

1 This month Darren Blackburn(Editor of ZAT) sent me a copyof his fanzine for the Spectrum& Sam Coupe; ZAT. To be honest Iwasn't expecting such a goodread. I have seen many fanzinesover the years and only Enigmahave come close to beating ZAT.
