Ahh, if we're including computers then these were my babies: () And especially...

Alive and well as it happens. Still has a look occasionally but his worked has clamped down on 'net usage. I got a PM off him as he's going to Fulham away with his missus and wanted to meet up. Dunno about our Teutonic friend though. Speaking of which, who's going to be dahn 'ere for the Fulham match? Enough of us to warrant a bit of Soho-buggering? Hey, whatever it takes for a bit of festive cheer. I'll even wrap it in tinsel for the occasion

Ohhh yeah

That's funny, 'cause I used to dress up as a financial translator when I was a young lad.

Not before the first of Advent, young feller-me-lad. Patience.

He's scratching.

Mario's Cement Factory, that's the bugger

Fuck yeah, Donkey Kong! There was a single-screen Mario one that was pretty cool too.

I'm guessing he's been to Frankfurt and had a fantastic time, and is now hiding his face in shame lest he have to admit the error of his ways.

What price Milner to pitch up with a case of the ebola virus next week? He needs to get rid of that bout of leprosy he's suffering from first. Ouch

Our old cat used to try and eat Micro Machines. She wasn't the brightest.

I didn't make any this year, but I'm still proud of quite a few things I've achieved, so go team me! Still working on that cure for the common cold, mind.

What price Milner to pitch up with a case of the ebola virus next week?

Right, so we're basically saying I should neck a glass of orange juice now and a tub of Ben & Jerry's later? I think I could get used to this kind of medical advice.

Anyone know if this stuff is any cop, or if it's all just an advertising scam? I've got the kind of sore throat that can only mean a cold is coming on, and since I've had two of the buggers in the last two months and neither has gone away quickly, I wouldn't mind avoiding it this time.

They definitely made a Newcastle & Gateshead edition at some point, whether you can still get it is another matter... Which reminds me, back when my dad was with Northern Electric and all the utilities were starting to go private, some genius produced a board game called "Buyout" in which you went around trading with other players for shares in the likes of Norweb and British gas and what-have-you. It was a fucking thrill a minute.

Oh man, Super Cup Football. Someone brought that in on our last day of first school. Can't remember if it was actually any cop, but it was electronic and it was a football game, so what more do you need really? Beats sitting in front of a VIC-20 playing text-only Football Manager, anyway...

Work have given me the afternoon off in lieu of some early-morning shenanigans yesterday, so I'm going to try and nail the rest of my Christmas shopping. Then I've somehow been roped into going to see a student production of Jesus Christ Superstar tonight.

Might wait and see if they get reduced by after the weekend. Three chocolates on the first day!

Speaking of which, this could be a decent little stocking-filler for the nostalgia-obsessed person in your life who just won't grow up (i.e. yourself, if you're anything like me ): http://www.amazon.co.uk/TV-Creams-Toys-Pre...3879&sr=8-1

That's a bit harsh on the poor wee teddy.

Westbam the techno DJ? Aye. Can't find the lunatic live performance, which involved a troupe of fascist-looking robotic backing dancers stomping around the place, but this is the video clip: Bucks Fizz it ain't...

He must explode every time Chris Tarrant says "We'll find out... after the break".

Westbam & Afrika Islam - Dancing With The Rebels This would have been the most patently ridiculous thing ever to hit the Eurovision stage. I suspect televisions would have exploded around the continent.
