Hi folks :)
Way back in the mid 70's, There used to be a BBC program Called 'Jim'll Fix It'.
The program for those of you too young to remember or from other parts of the world, went out early evening every Saturday on the BBC.
It was a program where kid's wrote in to this long white haired middle aged hippy guy called Jim, who always had a big fat cigar in his mouth, asking him to make their wish or dream come true. If Jim read out your letter he did indeed make many a kids (and some adults) dreams come true.
Their wishes were anything from a 5 year old wanting to drive an F1 car round Brands Hatch, to a 12 year old little girl wanting to go sky diving with the Red Devils, and anything else their tiny little hearts desired. Jim always made there dreams come true and we all watched with jealous little eyes at all these other kids getting to do things we all wanted to do.
Now what's this got to do with the Amiga you ask. :confused:
Well I've often thought that if 'Jim'll Fix It' was still around then I could send him the following letter and make my dream come true...
Dear Jim'll Fix It
Could you please fix it for me to have the Amiga back on top of the computing world again where it truly belongs. You see since the idiots and greedy people at Commodore ran the company into the ground and destroyed the very foundation of our beloved Amiga, the computing world has been taken over by the horrible and nasty Mickysoft PeeCee's and the overpriced overrated Crapple Macs.
Now Jim if you could fix it so that all the great people who developed and created the Amiga could have a nice new factory and technical facilities and unlimited funds, then myself and all the other true little Amigan's still hiding in the dark corners of cyberspace, could all rush out and buy brand new up to date world beating Amiga's with all our saved up pocket money and put the Amiga back where it belongs as King Of All the Computer World.
Please Jim, Can You Fix It For Me :)
Franko, aged 45 and a bit
What would your Amiga related wish be to Jim... :rolleyes:
Cheers :drink:

Uhhh-ahhhh-uhhhh-ahhhh-uhhhh-ahhhh
Dear Frankie,
Now then, now then,
Thank you for your letter. Amiga top of the computer world again? Well here at the Fix-It team we like a good challenge, yes we do, don't we Mr Cigar? Uhhh-ahhhh-uhhhh-ahhhh-uhhhh-ahhhh.
So we decided to contact the Amiga owners and ask them to get their act together.
Now then, now then,
But to our surprise we can't find them! Oh dear. Don't worry though because nobody leaves empty handed now, do they boys and girls? No sir.
So, here's your Fix-It badge and I've arranged for you to spend an hour in a hotel room with Angelina Jolie, a can of whipped creeam and a bottle of Viagra.
Uhhh-ahhhh-uhhhh-ahhhh-uhhhh-ahhhh!
-
Wow !!! thank you Jim I've always wanted a 'Jim Fixed It For Me' badge to show off to all my mates, erm... mate, well imaginary friend... :)
At my age I'd rather have a new Amiga and a nice cup of tea though... :)
Have to go now... Mummy said it's time for beddy byes...
Nighty, Night and fanks for the badge :)

Dear God,
I didn't think "Jim Could Fix It", so I'm going directly to the top. We need a super miracle greater than the parting of the Red Sea and on par with the raising of the Christ. We need the Amiga community to work together to produce a future. The founding fathers of the Amiga created too good of a computer to let it disappear forever. It would be nice if the masses could see the evil of bloat and turn from their deceived ways. It would also be nice if the abomination would do something about the biggest monopoly ever on this planet instead of picking on the "innocent" big businesses before all the jobs are gone in the U.S. Thanks in advance.
P.S. After further thought, you better get rid of the abomination first or we won't be able to buy any new Amigas here in the U.S. and we will continue to drag the world economy down with us.
-
I used to say my little prayers at beddy bye time to Mr God,
But Mummy said theirs no point as nasty Mr GRAITS bought him out years ago and he now cleans the toilets at MickeySoft. :(

and just so that everybody knows what we're talking about (and that we haven't gone mad), here's ex-DJ Sir Jimmy Saville:

This was of course back in the days when it was perfectly OK for childrens' TV presenters to be seen smoking huge cigars in front of families at 5pm on a Saturday afternoon on BBC TV while also sounding completely drunk.

Wicked theme tune as well. Bup ba ba bah bup ba bah bu ba bu bah

Franko, I hadn't heard of 'jim'll fix it' till now, sounds very cool.
If he were around yet, my Amiga wish would be....
Amiga repair shops.... please!!! Amiga repair available Anywhere .... From New York and London, to Milwaukee, WI (cough, cough) to Glink's Gulch, Montana. Go to a run down store in the ghetto, and see a sign like:
"Cold Beer, Soda, Cigarettes, Caps replaced, Lottery, cases de-yellowed, We accept Food Stamps ...."
:laughing:
Ahh well, I can hope can't I?
-
"...We accept Food Stamps ...."
"A democracy cannot exist as a permanent form of government. It can only exist until the voters discover that they can vote themselves money from the public treasure. From that moment on the majority always votes for the candidates promising the most money from the public treasury, with the result that a democracy always collapses over loose fiscal policy followed by a dictatorship. The average age of the world's great civilizations has been two hundred years. These nations have progressed through the following sequence: from bondage to spiritual faith, from spiritual faith to great courage, from courage to liberty, from liberty to abundance, from abundance to selfishness, from selfishness to complacency from complacency to apathy, from apathy to dependency, from dependency back to bondage."
-Alexander Tyler
The abomination in the United States grows as we come closer to the end of democracy. The tipping point has been passed as the ignorant and immoral have become the majority. As money is taken away from the successful and given to the failures, so is freedom with the result that everyone will be equally poor and there will be no one to invest in anything better. I always thought that Amiga people were a little smarter than the rest. Apparently, not always.

OUR ENGINEERS ARE TRYING TO TRACK DOWN THIS FAULT

The scary thing about this post is that it is true and happening as I type this, except the money is not being given to the failures. The pennies that are given to the poorest, the out of work & the lazy people that don't want to work are nothing compared to the amount being raped from average wage earners and put in corporate officers pockets and pension funds, as well as bribes (both legal and illegal) of one kind or another, salaries and pensions for politicians who keep the whole system running in the same direction (straight to hell) and prevent any real reform from happening and go on with their smoke and mirrors trying to prevent the general public from seeing what is really going on for as long as they can, just so they can try to get their share of the Public Treasure Pie.
The government is run by the corporations and the greedy CEO's are bleeding the country's middle class and sending all the jobs overseas with the result of only the very rich and the poor remaining and revolution the only alternative and it won't be pretty this time.

:( for gawds sake !!! :(
Dear Jim
I know that I started out this thread by asking you to perform the miracle of all miracles by getting the Amiga back on top again. :lol:
But... Their seems to be a more urgent thing for you to fix regarding our fellow Amigans across the pond. :(
It would seem from the last few posts that a great depression has descended upon them in the good old U S of A. They seem downright miserable and are rambling on incoherently about doom & gloom and politics. I think they must have had their sense of humor stolen or most likely bought from them by the nasty Mr Graits at MickeySoft.
I know their attention span isn't that great over there (TV ads every 5 minutes during progs) but in the space of just a few posts they have totally lost the thread and gone off on an whole other tangent about things that the rest of the world doesn't have a clue about !!! :roflmao:
So please, please, pretty please can you fix it for our terminally bewildered friends over there, to have an urgent sense of humor transplant, I would be only too glad to donate some of mine. :biglaugh:
Thank you Jim (although even this is a much taller order, than resurrecting the Amiga..) :roflmao:
From Franko, aged 102 now ( and starting to feel depressed ) :lol:
PS: DONT FORGET ABOUT THE MIGGY

Now then boys and girls, what do you think of that letter?
Dear Frankie,
Now then, now then,
Try not to worry too much, because if you had a Kenyan for a Prime Minister then you'd be a bit depressed too, wouldn't he Mr Cigar? Uhhh-ahhhh-uhhhh-ahhhh-uhhhh-ahhhh.
Yes indeedy.
Now then, now then,

The scary thing about this post is that it is true and happening as I type this, except the money is not being given to the failures.
The money IS being given to the failures!
The politicians that got it wrong are given more power and money. Look at Franks and Dodd. They were a HUGE part of pushing for more taxpayer money for people that could not afford a house and they are the single most responsible people for the economic crisis we went through. Were they removed from power? No! The republicans were removed from power giving them more power as the majority. They went on to pen the recent financial bill which does nothing about taxpayer subsidized sub prime mortgages or Fannie, Freddie, FHA or themselves. On the other hands, this new 2300 pages of regulations will costs banks and the individuals using them when these banks are going bankrupt (over 100 already this year) destroying jobs.
The bailout money went to the failed businesses of this country rather than bankruptcy. In bankruptcy, the successful businesses get a bargain when the failed businesses are sold off. In a bailout, the successful businesses (and individuals) pay for failed businesses. We also payed to bailout people that could not afford to buy a home after we payed to put them in a home they could not afford. The result is that most of them have or will loose there home anyway.
The government is run by the corporations and the greedy CEO's are bleeding the country's middle class and sending all the jobs overseas with the result of only the very rich and the poor remaining and revolution the only alternative and it won't be pretty this time.
I don't see it quite that way. I think the businesses are the one entity that is working in this country and they are not as immoral as they may appear on the surface. Yes, there are problems. The high executive pays has no defense and there are a few greedy businesses that go for risky short term profits however the skirting of regulations (and lobbying) and sending of jobs overseas is just survival. The board members have an obligation to protect and grow the investments of the stockholders. When the government creates an uncompetitive environment where the only options are to cannibalize the company then they are obliged to do what they have to. Cannibalizing the company is not pretty either as we have seen the first to go being workers. I would rather see executive pay cuts first but we have seen a few cases of that too. It's not fair that these businesses have to compete in the highest corporate tax environment in the industrialized world (Japan is higher compared to some states, not mine) with high cost of regulations, taxes and government caused inflation (yep, we have stag-flation) which eats away at profitability. If the costs of doing business keep going up like they have in this now anti-business country, we will see more than jobs going overseas. We will see whole businesses leave and less new ones created here. This is already happening. This will make the poor poorer and a very few rich richer (that invest overseas and can stay ahead of ever increasing taxes on the rich) but this will take a while. The bigger problems than businesses are the other entities, the politicians and the individuals. I felt I needed to speak out here because your attitude toward business is much the same as our president. The more we punish business though, the more we punish ourselves.
@Franko
I guess you don't own any BP stock or you would be feeling punished by our abomination and probably joining in too. I didn't think the economy was much better over there either. I guess the government can take all our money but not your sense of humor :).

:( serious mode enabled :rant:
Matthey, I have switched off my sense of humor for a few seconds to reply to you (not an easy thing for me to do ;) ). While I agree with a lot you are saying here, this is not the place to debate it. I started this thread as a bit of fun and to see if anyone else out their would like to join in and express their wishes,hopes and dreams and passion regarding the AMIGA, and all to be taken with a rather large pinch of salt.
Believe it or not, but I do follow what goes on in this world especially on your side of the pond. But Matthey, dear dear Matthey, please can we leave this thread as it was intended to be, just a bit of fun and get back to the most serious thing in life, which is of course Having A Laugth... :)
If you wish to start a new thread in the Politics section, then I shall be more than happy to join you there, to debate, chat and exchange points of view on all that is wrong with this world. :swords:
As Willaim Wallace's (A.K.A Braveheart) great, great, great grandson once said...
'They HAVE taken away our country, but they'll never take our sense of humor' :lol:
5... 4... 3... 2... 1...

I don't know about that character there!
If I ever have a hot-tub malfunction involving "Chernobyl-ly" energy drink and get sent back into the mid 80's, I'll be sure to fix Commodore.

Strange... :huh:
thats just what happened to me... :confused:
But it was the 1880's that I've got stuck in and the computers here are made of wood and run on steam. Although there's a young Mr A. Bell here who has a crazy idea about something called a telyfone (i think thats what he said) and he reckons when he builds it we will all be able to communicate using our computers over pieces of copper wire with each other. (I thing he's a little bit crazy myself ! :crazy: ).
Anyway who need's it, the pieces of string we use here do the same job... :lol:

Dear Jim'll Fix It
You may recall that I wrote to you some time ago asking you to perform a little bit of a miracle, THE RESURRECTION OF THE AMIGA.
Well it looks like you needn't bother, cos after the inane ramblings of our cousins over the pond it looks like that part of the world has given up, on not just the Amiga but life in general.
The rest of the Amiga community (if you can call it that anymore!) doesn't seem to care less :(, no hopes, dreams or ambitions, no matter how far fetched they might be. :cry:
I guess that they have all been brainwashed and conned into buying PeeCees (puke) and Crapple Macs (boak) and seem to be sadly under the delusion that running an Amiga emulator makes them a true part of the Amiga community. :lol:
The only hope left is, if you could somehow manage to make all these sad, sad brainwashed fools, :rolleyes: see the light and chuck their Crapple Macs and PeeCees in the bucket where they belong. :biglaugh: Then maybe, just maybe, they could dig out their real Amigas or try and buy some old ones and then we could all join together and prove that the Amiga is really still alive :) and that their is still a market out there for the manufacturers to start producing again for our beloved Amiga. ;)
By the way there are Fairy's and Pixies at the bottom of my garden... :roflmao:
Please Jim can you Fix THEM for me. :biglaugh:
Franko aged 45 and a bit (but feeling much older and more disillusioned by the minute !!!)
-
Hmm... Just had a thought :idea:
If Jim can't help us, what about that nice, charming, quiet Irish fellow, Bob... :)
That's It. Good old Mr Geldof, I mean the man who organized the biggest ever charity even in history, Live Aid, if anyone can help the Amiga then it surely it must be him. :D
If he could organize a world wide event for the Amiga, he could call it AMIGA AID, but wait, if it involves our friend across the pond in the good old U S of A, he'd be better calling it BEYOND ALL HOPE AID... :roflmao:
Better start writing,
Dear Bob... ;)
-
Anyone who names their kid "Fifi Trixibell" should not be allowed anywhere near the Amiga. :)
-
Given the state of the community I'd say your warning was way too late...
Anyone who names their kid "Fifi Trixibell" should not be allowed anywhere near the Amiga. :)

So to summarize, in the US, if you are a poor and lazy CEO, you will be rolling in the money.

Bio
---
Born in Leeds, Jimmy Saville was the eldest of 7 children. His first job at 14 was a coalface worker, then a scrap metal seller. He used to all-in wrestle two nights a week. His first taste of the 'pop' industry was as an assistant manager for Leeds Locarno (Mecca Club). He later shot to fame on Radio Luxembourg in the 1960's. He was voted top British disc jockey for several years in that decade, by various magazines.
in 1964, he presented the first BBC 'Top of the Pops' music programme on television.
He held a record for running up the BT tower in London, and is well known for running and walking marathons across the UK in aid of many good causes.
He is famous for his outlandish clothes, Rolls Royce, cigar, jewellery and catch phrases such as 'how's about that, then', 'now then, now then', 'guys and gals' and 'eaeh eh eaeh eh'. By the mid 70's he was fronting the popular "Jim'll Fix It" show on BBC1. Jimmy Saville was awarded an OBE.
Jimmy is also well remembered in the UK for his parts in long-running television commercials for British Rail (this is the age.........of the train) and 'Clunk Click every trip' public information films.
Surprisingly, Jimmy was not one of the original team of D.J.'s on the new BBC 'Pop' station, starting instead nine months later. Here, he hosted 'Saville's Travels', a 'youth' chat show where he travelled up and down the country with a tape recorder chatting to people and playing records. In one episode, he climbed Ben Nevis in the middle of winter. Later he presented 'The Old Record Club' (the show's theme tune was The In Crowd by the Ramsey Lewis Trio) on Radio 1, Sunday afternoons until 1987.
A popular personality with one of the highest profiles ever, he has raised millions for charity.

Dear Jim'll Fix It
I wrote to you sometime ago, about my Amiga dream. Now I know your getting on a bit (or maybe even dead) ,but if you don't hurry up and do something then I'm going to write to Blue Peter and maybe they will be able to show me how to build a Super Duper Amiga out of some old toilet roll tubes and some sticky back plastic.
Cmon Jim, get the finger out... :rant:

Hi folks :)
Could you please fix it for me to have the Amiga back on top of the computing world again where it truly belongs. You see since the idiots and greedy people at Commodore ran the company into the ground and destroyed the very foundation of our beloved Amiga, the computing world has been taken over by the horrible and nasty Mickysoft PeeCee's and the overpriced overrated Crapple Macs.
I thought this was going to be a neat thread until this paragraph.
You should get new insulting names. PC especially. I mean, Pee Cee is just you adding more letters and making it sound the same......
and micky, well, mickey mouse sho' is cool in my book.
take a pill or 10.

Oh dear, Oh dear, Oh dear Arkhan... :)
Touchy aren't we... :)
Seem to be going round in circles here, I've taken the pills and in a generous mood I'm going to send you some too, as I really think you need them more than I do... :roflmao:

Im not touchy. I just think you've hit your midlife crisis and are flailing around trying to be young and cool again, and it's annoying. I know this is an amiga forum and all, but the whole OMG AMIGA OR DIE fanboy thing is pretty damn stupid.

Ok then Touched, would be a better turn of phrase to use in your case... :)
Dunno where you get this midlife crisis and age thing from, If you really believe that all that you read via the internet on your computer screen is true, then you'd be as well going and talking to the fairies at the bottom of your garden. At least they might understand a 3 year old mind like yours... :biglaugh:

hey dopey, you said you're 45. First post of the thread. Are you huffing glue? Did you already forget what you said in your own thread?
PS: These fairies are pretty cool. They know magic tricks and bake me cookies.

I know that this post has nothing to do with this thread but after last night's heated little debate,
it came to mind that no matter where we live in this world, whichever colour, creed, religion or
nationality we are, if you just pause and think how lucky we are, that we live in the times that we do.
We only have this freedom of speech thanks to the countless millions who gave their lives and their
futures in all the wars gone by, so that we may pursue what seems in perspective such trivial little matters.
This song and it's lyrics by The Pogues sum up perfectly, just why we should be should be so grateful that we have
the freedom to sit here and express our opinions no matter how trivial or meaningful they may be.
Listen to the lyrics, and then pause for a moment to reflect on just how lucky we are, and give thanks to all who
gave their lives to allow us to have such freedom, and never forget them...
