  1. Do you remember when the Future was (Is) Orange ? I don't think it is anymore. However, there is a glint of Blue is the Sky and the Sun is on the rise. Pandora's Box may be open, but Hope remains.

    I think we are coming through this. It's been a dark dark tunnel but finally with these vaccines and a little hope I feel we are on our way again.

     

    If you are really feeling 'it' at the moment. I urge you to stay positive. I know it may be tough, but a few short weeks ago, we had 0 vaccines. We now have 6 or maybe 8? Things are tough but this time next year could be a whole different story.

     

    As someone who knows, I say 'Fuck You, Covid 19!'

      Don't, Man.

      Thanks lads.

    So this has been me for most of this month...

  5. During this unpresidented unprecedented time, we should all remember one thing.

     

    It could be you! your mum! your mum's gran! Your step-grandad, your nephew, your wife's lover or your cat, writing god-awful poetry in a ham-fisted attempt to sum up their, your, or our collective shitstorm of feelings as a group, nation or world.

    Let's put a stop to this madness. Stop people posting crass badly thought out jumbles of words, masquerading as creativity.

  6. Puzzle Games are going BIG this year...

      Ah. PC sadly. I say sadly, that's where potential money is. Though I do love the retro systems very much.

      I understand, if PC sales are strong enough, maybe a retro version could be feasable.

  7. Just doing a list of things I want to achieve this coming year.

    Not talking about Brexit and Covid and having a quiet pint down my local whilst reading a book, are, just some of the highlights.

      Agreed!  Wife and I are hoping to be able to plan our next vacation without any of those concerns!!  Although, our next good trip will probably be another couple of years, as we got back from the last one just before Christmas last year.  And we did stop at London on our way at our favorite hotel right by Borough  Market, which was awesome again (we've been overseas twice in our life, and stayed at that same hotel both times we were in London).  Well, it was awesome except that one day, on our first "Tube" trip in London on the way back to our hotel, we couldn't stop at our stop.  An "event" had happened and we had to go past and figure out how to walk back, and a lot of the area was blocked off.   Yep, we were there that day.  Still, we love that area and will be back when we can... 

  8. Happy New Ears everybody. Hopefully 2021 will be a winner of a year that will obliterate the memory of 2020. Be lucky people!

      What's that you say Sonny?  My new ears aren't working so well.

  9. Merry Christmas. Going offline until at least the New Year so I am going to wish all you retro retrobates a very Merry Christmas and a jolly good new year 2021! All the best.

  10. Cyberpunk 2077. Is it me or do those ads scream G.T.A:Blade Runner ?

    1. GoldLeader

      GoldLeader

      I could see that.

      I'd guess that's exactly what the marketing team pitched when the game was greenlit.

      CyberJunk 2077 would have been truth in advertising...Haa!

  11. Got a telephone Doctor appointment today.

     

    You never know where you are. If you get a good doctor on a good day they can be terrific, and helpful, but, if you get one on a bad day or heaven forbid you get one of the doctors that are just outright rubbish clinicians, then, you've wasted all that time and effort and maybe a day off work as well if you think you might be told to come down to the surgery / doctor's office. 

    Fingers crossed I get a good un in a good mood!

      Somewhere inbetween. Lucky me. A good doctor who's too busy. Will have to wait for the new year.

  12. I split with the Bomb Disposal expert (female) because we kept getting our wires crossed. She had a short fuse but was explosive in bed.

  13. My Girlfriend says we can only have sex in Bank Vaults. She says it's the only way to ensure we have safe sex.

  14. I wrote a best selling book about Poltergeists. As I predicted, It flew off the shelves.

  15. Got caught stealing from the Library, again. The Judge threw the book at me.

      Hope it wasn't this one-hardback, weighs about 5 pounds, would definitely pull up a pump knot!

      Now that judge is asking for his book back.

  16. Relative Pitch is when your cousin becomes a baseball star. Perfect Pitch is when YOU do.

    1. Rogerpoco

      Rogerpoco

      Ah...

      "Perfect Pitch" is when you throw an accordion, and it smashes into a keyboard, destroying both...

      (Musician Joke, and I play Keys...).

      What, house keys. Cool!

       

  17. Sometimes, in life, we are so caught up in our own troubles we fail to remember that other people are suffering too.

     

    Here's to a good year 2021 and lets consign 2020, which I am officially branding 'The Lost Year' to the bowels of history.

     

     

    1. Bixler

      A "lost year" indeed, though 2020, if anything, has made me all the more grateful for what I still have. :)

    2. ∞ Vince ∞

      Spot on Bixler. Not wanting to dwell on the detail but I 100% agree with what you have put !

  18. Never marry a Skier. It starts off ok, then it's all downhill.

  19. I see Wikipedia has got the begging bowl out again. I'd give if they gave a [_ _ _ _] about the information being accurate and credible, but they don't...

    1. IntelliMission

      IntelliMission

      One of the most fun and frustrating things in Wikipedia is the fact that most pages about video games, comic books, movies or series contain just plain spoilers of the plot that are often 5 pages long without even being added to a "Plot" section (as if they happened in real life!),while simultaneously lacking interesting details (and sometimes basic, real life information) about the product.

       

      Modern comic books and RPG games are the worse in this regard.

    2. bubufubu

      bubufubu

      The hate I've encountered for Wikipedia over the last 10-15 years is unwarranted.  Does it have flaws?  Yes.  Could it be better run?  Yes.

       

      There also happens to be a fuck ton of accurate information on there.  That fact always seems to go unnoticed to the people who choose to shit on it.  A website is either highly reputable or a hot mess to them, it seems.

      No, it is true there is good stuff too. I use it every day for Football info.

       

      The problem is that all credibility is lost when the bogus info or people's opinions sit on there for years and does not get removed or fixed or updated.

      There is a whole list of 'hoaxes' that have run for years.


       If they bothered to do it properly, with proper review by professionals or educators then it would be marvellous. As it is it is a wild west and whoever wins wins an 'edit war of attrition'.

      Ha ha. Never seen this before. That's awesome.

       

       

      Saw a documentary once. American 'Footballers' played Rugby, the game it sprang from. The Rugby players from England went over and had a great laugh. The US lot thought it was crazy that the 'Brits didn't have any protection.

  21. I've just seen a bunch of cats hugging each other, so that's smiling all day.

    1. ∞ Vince ∞

      ∞ Vince ∞

      I dream of cats. So...

       

      But seriously one of the many things my life is missing, is a cat.

      @BigO one of the symptoms they do not mention is confused mental state. Your head feels all foggy and confused like an old person. Literally feels like your brain is in liquid or something.

      Wish I could send you one! We're still looking for homes for 2 or 3 of the seven 'feral' kittens we spent all summer and autumn feeding and socializing.

  22. Just began to watch the OD Cougar Town Boxset. Hmmm. I keep thinking the show would be much better if it were the Ellie Torres show.

     

    The main character is very bland. CT is very hit and miss. One episode might be really funny, another a dud.

  23. Being Stalked by ads for PRS customs, and likes it!

      @Rogerpoco You are not the only one, friend. I do the same and I am sure you have seen!

      Ya, on Wolfgang!

      I'm a lifelong guitar player, tbh never was really an EVH fan, tho I respected him, but it was when I started playing keyboards some that I really appreciated what Eddie did, then I liked the guitar stuff more.

      He(Wolf)was playing bass for Tremonti regularly then.

    4. ∞ Vince ∞

      ∞ Vince ∞

      Yeah, Wolfie became their regular Bassist until he was 'drafted' into Van Helen full time. Pretty good Drummer as well I heard.

       

      I've always loved Van Halen the band and Eddie's impact on me as a fan of guitar and as a guitar player has been huge.

  25. I used to love SNOOKER but now it's all about one man's ego and his ongoing battle with Bi Polar.
