How about Logic 5

Rule Number 1 - Assuming that you have a valid contract in place always try to get your poo onto your timesheet, provided that the timesheet is valid for your current contract and covers the period of time that you are billing for.

I preferred version 1!

White dog sh*t !

"The budget should be balanced, the Treasury should be refilled, public debt should be reduced, the arrogance of officialdom should be tempered and controlled, and the assistance to foreign lands should be curtailed lest Rome become bankrupt. People must again learn to work, instead of living on public assistance." Cicero

I loved them - and that pretend stringy sweet tobacco you could get.

My mate had one of these but I thought it was too heavy. Ok it had gears but even in low you couldn't drag the thing up hills. I had a gx2000 or something. It was great as it had a drum brake on the back and a back peddle brake whch meant that you could leave really long black lines as it locked the back wheel as soon as you hit it.

I hated school milk - it put me off it for years because it was never cold. I used to sell mine

Did you allow blank to be a valid combination?

That was in the optional rules for advanced play, wasn't it?

It was one of the first games I ever played on a computer - to be precise, it was written in DEC BASIC, loaded from paper tape and running on a PDP-8/e, with an ASR-33 Teletype (text only, obviously) as the user interface

EDIT: So, with those links added, anybody remember any of them?
