HELLO AND WELCOME TO ISSUE 13 OF NEWSFLASH, UNLUCKY FOR SOME BUT NOT US, WE`RE STILL GOING STRONG AND GETTING BETTER REACTIONS ALL THE TIME.. WE HOPE YOU ENJOY THIS ISSUE AND DO PASS THE WORD AROUND.... MUSICAL THANKS TO MY MATE ALLISTER BRIMBLE FOR THIS NICE MUSIC, CALLED "WILD WEST KID" CREATED WITH NOISETRACKER AND SOUNDS FROM THE KAWAI K1 AND ROLAND D110....  I KNOW ITS RATHER LARGE (OOEERR) BUT THE SOUNDS HAVE REVERB EFFECTS ON THEM, SINCE NO SOUNDTRACKER PROGRAMS ADD THIS (WELL I`VE NOT SEEN ONE.. ANYONE CARE TO PROGRAM A REVERB EFFECT???? IS IT POSSIBLE??? I DUNNO.. DON`T ASK ME COS I AINT A MUSICIAN!)     ALSO A BIG THANKS TO JOHN,LYNNETTE AND CHRIS BRIMBLE FOR PUTTING UP WITH ME AND MY MATE VAD FOR 4 DAYS LAST MONTH...  THE ROUTINE WAS (AS USUAL) ONE OF BRIAN POSTMAS SOURCES FROM AN EARLIER NEWSFLASH.. WHAT I WOULDN`T MIND IS A LITTLE SOURCE THAT ALLOWS ME TO SWITCH BETWEEN A FEW IFF PICS (FROM WITHIN THE SCROLLER) THEN I COULD WRITE STORIES AND DISPLAY DIGITISED PICS OR ARTWORK AS I TYPE... ANY TAKERS ????  IF SO, PLEASE DROP ME A LINE AT THE NEWSFLASH UK ADDRESS.. OF COURSE I CAN ADD WHATEVER MUSIC PLAY ROUTINE I NEED, DEPENDING ON WHO`S DONE THE MUSIC AND WITH WHAT.              SPECIAL THANKS ALSO GO TO BEANBAG COURTESY OF BJORN AND THE GANG!           SOME PEOPLE MIGHT REMEMBER THAT I INADVERTANTLY SET FIRE TO MY KITCHEN A LITTLE WHILE AGO.. WELL THE KITCHEN HAS RECOVERED NOW AND HERE`S A LITTLE RAP I WROTE TO IT, WHICH THE NORWEGIAN BAND "RANDOM" ARE GOING TO HAVE A BIG HIT SINGLE WITH!!.... OK HERE GOES... TAKE IT AWAY SALT & PEPPER                                      THE KITCHEN - A rap by Spadge.                      It was a little match and it sparked the flame    Gave me the blues and some undue fame    And all the regulars at the pub    Made me a member of the torching club                  Cos the curtains went up there is no doubt   Made me worried, made me scream and shout   And when my ma got home, christ was I cool   But my ma was not and I was the fool    And the in-sur-ance, it's all a fix   A babbling rep got us in a mix   Cos we can't claim yet - he did say   Until it's redecorated he won't pay    But we couldn't get it painted and that's no joke   Cos we were waiting for the council bloke   Cos he took his time and he made me sweat   I just dunno how our case slipped thru the net    And now things are clear, the council bloke's been   He came today and our Kitchen he's seen   And he saw the grime and yeah, he saw the dust   And fixing it has just got-ta be a must     So thats my story and let it be a warning   Or your sorry days will soon be dawning   Cos when the cookers on - don't you mess about   Always keep your eyes open and just watch out                                 Hehehe :^)   WATCH OUT FOR THE HIT SINGLE COMING SHORTLY, MAYBE EVEN THEY`LL ENTER IT AS THE NORWEGIAN ENTRY FOR THE EUROVISION SONG CONTEST..
