I was bored so I made a Google map of all the places in Its Grim Up North, if you're interested. https://www.google.com/maps/d/viewer?mid=1wyAmagWlXuh7eJjRnaufKoe4QFs_go_O&usp=sharing

That's very nice - tooling along to the sounds of somebody reading the shipping forecast!

I capped her in the head deliberately many time out of sheer annoyance. Mind you the first time I played Goldeneye I also deliberately shot Trevelyan upon meeting him in the tank room ("Why James, why?").

My 12yo daughter still likes reading books with me at bedtime. I'm sure it won't last much longer, but... I'm looking for recommendations as to what we can read next as we're coming to the end of our current series. We're currently reading the Charmed Life series by Dianne Wynn Jones which we are enjoying greatly. And over the last year or so we've read and enjoyed: - The Earthsea Trilogy by Ursula Le Guin - Barimaeus and Lockwood series by Jonathan Stroud (both immeasurably superior to Harry Potter) - The five books that make up The Dark Is Rising by Sus

It's not really helping me concentrate on my spreadsheets...

Excellent combo of username and post content there.

Does yours have the insane difficulty curve like mine does. Mine has four levels. Level 1 is stuff like "1*3", level 3 ramps it up a bit - "8*6". Level 4's opening gambit - "34*28".

While we're back in the 1980s, I found this at the back of a wardrobe over the weekend. Popped a battery in it and it works perfectly after 35 years in a cupboard.

Natural Born Killers.

12 Inches of Snow is the best album title.

How could we forget Hardcore Uproar by Together?

Fantastic tune! But didn't Stakker Humanoid become Future Sound of London with exactly the same two guys in the lineup? Does it count as a one-hit wonder if they just change their name?

This is pretty good. It took me over a decade to fully appreciate the glories of Let It Come Down (I'm listening to it right now) and Ladies & Gentlemen We Are Floating In Space and after a couple of plays of this album I reckon it will be a slow burner too. I'll come back and let you know how I'm getting on with it sometime in mid 2025.

Crazy Taxi on Gamecube. My daughters are disappointed that you can't run people over. They did enjoy drowning the monkeys in Super Monkey Ball 'Monkey Target' though.

I've just checked and you can still download and buy it from winzip.com - £31.14p. I'm tempted to download a copy of the latest version and see if my licence key still works.
