(unless I've done loads whilst drunk and just forgotten)
it's the mega ben late night post.

looks like a fair few people about, some of you must be up for weaving some amusing anecdotes.

I'm working 'til 5.30am.

Went to bed last night at about 3am, having just played 4 hours of poker. That would usually result in me having a dreamy night of green felt, card sharks and getting AA every hand. But no. Instead, i get a full 6 hours, of Ricky Gervais:Before He Was Famous. Turns out, that Ricky lived his previous years as a hobo, living out of a skip, earning money by spit-shining golf balls. The mind is a mystical thing :?

im new to all this, so probably shit

it's my birthday  :beers:  shame town couldn't give me 3 points as a present!!

Im bored and am watching sky sports, i got a biscuit baked by swindon college with my adver today, dunno if i trust the students enough to eat it!!

I spent yesterday in Gatwick airport got home brain dead and fell fast asleep at 7pm.  I dreamt I married a Japanese girl who was a bit on the evil side and wore a black leather jacket.  I loved her for it though, even when she told my auntie to fuck off for buying her a miniture ironing board.

Many happy returns stfc11

stfc11: more reason to eat it..

village: I had an ace dream the othernight where I was on the run from a gang of mafia ninja pirates. bit scary but remember it being pretty ace. details are a bit vague now which is a shame.

Commiserations, mate. What a crap way to have to spend your birthday.

the mrs is away and i've been porning it up. should be sleepy but the soreness is getting out of hand

mine is in june so swindon never lose on my birthday  :D just pretty much every saturday from august to may

just been going through the gigabytes of randomness I have stashed away and found some old emulators...

found the old skool bbc micro education classic Granny's Garden. Brilliant stuff..

Can you see a cave?
No

Yes you can.

Do you want to go in the cave?
No

Yes you do.



Ace stuff. someone else must remember this classic?

I'm here. Lost again at Monkey Bowling, Sean always seems to win. Git  :x

Dunno how much longer I will be around but I might actually do some work to make me sleepy.

no but i think we should all download it and try to work our way through this seemingly fiendish game til the morn

crap I lost. don't look in the pot in the house.

If anyone wants to play this 80's masterpiece then you'll need the emulator from here
http://www.stairwaytohell.com/emulators/BeebEm32.exe

and the granny's garden disk image from here  
http://beta.yousendit.com/transfer.php?action=download&ufid=37ED0D3E4551FD83

install the emulator, run it. press load disc in the file menu and point it to wherever you saved the granny's garden disk image.

press 'shift'+ 'f12' and you're away.

:( Poor monkeys

you know when they get live monkeys and lop off the top's of their heads and then eat out their brains? I wonder what that tastes like.

Two ducks have set up camp in my garden.

Quite fancy duck for dinner tomorrow.

Shall I shoot them?

yep

Ben:Chicken

Coxy:Spare them if they are ruddy ducks, otherwise.....

They were lucky! I'm a crap duck hunter.

Maybe a deer will pitch up shortly. Bit of venison anyone?

Better that than a duck-crap hunter, tho.

Thanks for that nugget, Baldrick  :D

that game is tough, don't use the stairs in the house, there's a snake there.

is that the snake? I think you can if you've got the apple or the stick (can't remember which one)

whoever made it must have been pretty trippy. part 2 is ace. I'm on part 3 which is actually seems to have some sort of logic puzzle, probably the first bit of the game which actualy makes any sense, but despite it being aimed at young kiddies I can't work it out. Think alcohol might be an influence.  I remember that witch used to scare the crap out of me when I was a kid.

I tried the stick it didn't work, don't take the broom out of the cupboard either. Maybe it's the apple you need I read in some book that snakes like apples.

The Bible?

Yeah I think that's the one, not a bad read.

Hurray I completed part 1.

had a rest from playing and just realised that I forgot the password for part 3. think it begins with s, but that might be the one to part 2. mega gay.

i tried the password i got for part 2 but it didn't work.

infact when I've confused myself. because the whole thing comes in 2 parts but when I say part 2 I mean the section after the house with the animals. that bit is ace. when I say part 3 I mean the bit on the second section on the disk. I think. argh...

I'm gonna beat the nasty dragons anyway.

How strange....following on from the earlier conversation about killing birds......was taking some medical notes between hospitals, cruising round the outskirts of Oxford at a leisurely 65mph. WHAMMO! I've had a head-on collision with a seagull, who's left a massive shit-smear up my windscreen as a parting gift :x

did you pick it up for dinner. roadkill seagull = poor man's duck.

fuck yeah. I'm on the last bit. go me.

Didn't fancy carving it open and finding fag ends tbh

tobacco stuffed bird. lovely stuff

thanks  8)

I got the book 'how to support a crap football team' from my dad, he found it very funny, the worrying thing is, the whole book seems to relate to Swindon!!
