ScuzzBlog: Diaries November 2018 Entry 15th November 2018: Post 01: 4-bits of sex 4-bits of sex Each and every day of the week in 1983 I would travel to Walsall bus station and enter Smiths from the rear access door and find my way to the recently installed computer section to pour over the new kit on offer. This is the place I first saw the ZX-81. By now I had moved up to a Spectrum 48K so I was a rockin-and- a-rollin with the new technology. In addition to the kit and games I would also buy the latest copy of Home Computing Weekly so I had something to read on the bus on the way into work. In those days folk really didn't understand the newfangled computer language and so having a page open on BASIC would draw some rather interesting glances at what I was reading. So imagine my surprise on August 9th 1983 to find a rather scantily clad Page 3 girl adorning the front page of my favourite magazine. I was a little shocked to say the least and did feel a little embarrassed taking it to the counter. Worse, I really couldn't pull it from my bag on the bus for fear of more critical views of what I was reading. In those days it was standing room only on the bus. I wasn't quite sure what the logic was for placing the Page 3 girl onto the front of magazine. It had no relation to anything inside. The magazine was weekly and one week later, again there was another Page 3 girl. This carried on for a full four issues and then it stopped. It never returned, so maybe they realised young geeky nerds would struggle getting to the cash tills with a chick scantily clad on the front of anything they purchased. At least the Aug 16 issue had an article on swimwear which kinda had some relation to the Page 3 girl on the cover. I know that in the day all four of these lovely ladies revealed their topless bodies in The Sun newspaper, but that was on Page 3. Anyway I don't think the magazine ever carried a semi clad woman on their pages ever again... to my knowledge. As wonderful as it was to joy at their beauty I do feel it was really out of keeping with the subject. It was actually so odd as to be a little troubling. It would be like picking up Angling Times and having a naked lady showing off her latest fishing rod. And so the magazine returned to its normal format and again I was once again able to read my computer magazine in public. Home Computing Weekly Home Computing Weekly .. The sex issues. OK Calm down .. Back to BASICs That's much better. What a nerd. Page 3 Girls So just who were the Page 3 girls Janine James and Karen Kelly Linda Lusardi and Toni White I just happen to have the biggest repository of Page 3 memorabilia outside of Fleet Street, Wapping and the Reading Rooms of London and Scotland... Mebee !!
