Sinclair And Clones Computer Show

Anonymous Coward writes "The Sinclair ZX Spectrum seems to be alive and well with 'Your Sinclair' magazine being relaunched at WH Smiths newsagents, and according to this, there is a Spectrum and clones computer show in Norwich, England, (the other Sinclair formats and clones include the QL, SAM Coupe, Timex/Sinclair, ZX81, Z88 etc). It looks like it could be fun. I must get my Spectrum out and play some games."

    Seems improved then. I always hated that run from
    LS to Norwich (thorpe station), because the other
    bit (from Bristol Temple Meads to London) was a wizzy 125MPH (about 1.5 hours). Back in my student
    days (in Bristol, SW England), I always favoured the
    sedate Bus approach (Bristol->London (victoria)->Norwich). But someone clearly had a sense of humour in the numbering schemes for busses, because the "747" (cackles hysterically)
    used to run between the end points of Norwich and Bristol (and visited most of the (un)known universe in between). Still, it had the great taste to visit *both* cambridge and oxford, so
    if you were broke (most students always are) and
    not in a hurry was sort of fun...

    (should point out that the 747 wasn't the fast
    via london bus, but the one most of us poor dumb
    idiots ending up using because it was a wee bit
    cheaper)..

    Go kiss the singing postman for me (big grin)
