Big Bertha Thing welfare

29th April 1999
Operations Manager,
The Benefits Agency,

Dear Sirs,

Further to your letter of 28th April 1999,
regarding a list of questions, on the possibility of my working at all.

I will attempt to answer your questions, in order as listed in your letter.

1.I am not working, I am just pottering arround on the internet.
I last registered for course work with the Open University in
1997. This would have involved 6 hours work per week.
I could only manage half-an-hour per day, so totally failed
to do the work or complete the course. Not even one homework
assignment was completed.
In August 1997, I bought a second hand computer for 150 pounds
sterling, and was given free access to the Open University
computer along local telephone lines at a call charge of
1p per minute.
Since that time, I managed to build up a body of correspondence,
within the limits of half-an-hour per day mental or physical work.
In January 1999, this correspondence was transfered by me to my
web site; www.bertha.ndirect.co.uk(since disabled.)
I have to pay 14 pounds and 9p per month for this site.

2.Nobody suggested it, it just happened.
3.My doctor does not know that I have a web site.
4.See answer 1 for description of my activities.
No job is being done, so no job description exists.

5.No employer exists or payments have been recieved.
6.I can think straight for half-an-hour per day.
The rest of the time is spent pottering arround.
I can do one side of A4 paper of mathematics
or computer work per day.

7.On any day free of a major shopping expedition,
I can do half-an-hour of original work and
about an hour of copy typing at non-typist speeds.

8.My principle interest is a 50 year scientific project,
which was started 30 years ago.
If I could spend 48 hours per week doing it I would.
However half-an-hour work and an hour pottering,
seems to be all I can manage and
at that not every day of the week.
Due to my condition, I asked Mrs. Pam S....,
a fellow Open University student to be the project archivist
for my work on the Open University computer.
She agreed and kept the archive of the correspondence
which is now on my web site. This is both an unusual
request and an unusually generous service
to a fellow student on incapacity benefit.

9.Zero income for as far as the eye can see.
10.Not applicable, zero wages or income.
11.August 1997 and is ongoing.

I trust that the above will put the internet feeding frenzy
of the newspaper hype into some perspective.

Thank you,
Tony Lance

Big Bertha Thing 6(with apologies for use of CTRL R)

Please accept my apologies for troubling you. It will not of course be repeated.
However 3 mods have responded to my call to help out on the Conf. by volunteering.
In emergency situations, needs must. You and your fellow mods number 3 I see.
Mods have broad shoulders and thick skins and I trust compassion.
Thank you,
Tony Lance.

Big Bertha Thing 7

By way of light relief, a similar general apology, to the one
above, would bring solace and comfort, to the victims of such
well intentioned postings. Please put it in a Big Bertha and
address to CP Conf., Mods Conf. and Philip Sims. That of course,
would be the end of spam.

Big Bertha Thing folder

Keep busy in your mailbox and put all postings
in a PIP Research folder for safe-keeping in perpetuity,
every night.

Part of your chores would be to read each missive,
subject by subject. Answer it, in a weekly PIP Research
Newsletter or not, as the case may be, which would again,
go rapidly from the mailbox to the folder.

Drawing of an ordinary gyroscope.

Caption:-
Fig. XVI

Extract from the Introductory Chapter:-
But the most interesting top of all is undoubtedly the ordinary
gyroscope. That depicted in Fig. XVI........ although merely
sold as a toy, is nevertheless capable of illustrating
the gyroscopic phenomena which have been so much made use of in
modern mechanical invention.

Spinning Tops and Gyroscopic Motion.

Big Bertha Thing rita

Educating Rita

This film portrays a dominant spouse and a long-suffering student,
to the extent upto and including divorce, book-burning and forced
pregnancy.

There was zero privacy. Any attempt to re-register or change
the password would not work, because the secret could not be kept.

Every posting by the spouse is a violation of OU rules and the students
education, causing real pain. Vetting by one moderator or by several
using a non-public Rita conf. would not work, because the spouse
would use the students name, with all the further alienation
that would cause.

A new policy needs to be adopted. The last resort punishment measure,
needs to be the first resort measure on compassionate grounds;
that of making the student read-only on FC. The student would thank
you for it, but not publically.

It would need to be agreed between ACS and OUSA, which is what
they are there for.

First Big Bertha posting was to first aid tent in CP Conf. to provide aid and comfort to
victims who had been set upon by unnamed thugs. There was no way to make direct contact,
with shell shocked victims. The trick worked and first victim is well again.
Since then she has developed a life of her own and actually caught some thugs in the act.
Children will be children. The full set of Big Bertha can be found on CP Conf.
Thank you,
Tony Lance
