@ceppie – slept in again? However, having to ‘work’ while at work is bad enough…so i’ll let you off. What is the point of being in charge if you have to work? The world has gone to pieces. 100pts. (it’s a nervous smile) Is Lye good for the soil? My dad seem to think it isn’t. Beware anyone with a Piggory! I suppose where you live is perfect for serial killers. Could you ever find anything…unless you knew exactly where you were looking?

Well, anything counts, and if you are out doing ‘gaming’ stuff then that counts too. 50pts. I might have a bimble out later – I have the urge for a Peach Melba.

1. those covers are probably known to everyone! DSotM is totallt iconic…even if you have never heard the music. I came to it late – I was 21 before I heard it all the way through. The Meat Loaf cover is a beauty! 200pts. I had a picture disc of it, but never played it. Picture disc were great fun too – as were ‘shaped’ discs. I have a few about the place. I would never play them as they viynl was never the best quality.

My mother never understood why I would buy 2×12″ versions! Even worse, one day I came home from training and she had been doing some decorating upstairs. I wander into my room to sort my kit out and I find that she had fixed 3 picture disc to the wall with blu-tac. IN DIRECT SUNLIGHT! I almost had a fit.

I never used to take off the wrapping not even when I discovered vinyl sleeves for the covers. I bought them fo everything. My saturday morning aged 13 was this: 1000hrs village stage-coach to the ‘Music Box’ in Blaydon. It takes 20 minutes to get there which leaves you with 25 minutes before the bus gets back at 1045hrs. I had to be back on the next bus or I couldn’t go next week. My mother was a touch protective, but Blydon was as rough as a Badger’s arse.

I had £2 plus my paper round money which would allow me to get a couple of 7″ singles + plastic sleeves or maybe an album. A new album was only £3.99 – £5.99, but other stuff could be bought for £2.50 and they also sold 2nd hand stuff. I bought a copy of the Talking Heads first album for 75p! Then it was back home for excessive playing.

However, even then I was a geeky nerd. I would play the single/album and record it onto cassette (younger people can look it up) so I wouldn’t wear out the vinyl or scratch it. My friend Keith would come with me, but as we got older we would go into Newcastle town centre and trawl all the shops for new sounds.

Inside sleeves were great reading. As autistic nerds we have to read all the notes and have to know who the producers assistant was. Photographs by Fin Costello. That name will trigger someone!

CD’s were great in that you sometimes got a little booklet. I mean, where else would you turn the page and find a picture of Tori Amos breast-feeding a piglett?

Taylor Swift has nice hands.

This is another important part of society that has gone to the dogs…pop music. When I was a boy (play the Hovis theme) even pop lyrics were interesting and clever. ABBA wrote some of the most amazing ‘pop’ songs ever. Even my grandfather like the music. He said the guy was a pretty good pianist. Well, I think that is what he said! Now, pop music is just about being a f**king brand.

2. I was with you all the way, until, “…and of course I’d bang more quiff.” 1000pts. Well, back then you would have been “up to your nuts in guts”. I once heard a squaddie say that on a train.

I might go back to the instant when, as a weedy 11 year old, I was spat on by an older boy at school and did nothing. I think, upon reflection, I would have jabbed my right thumb into his left eye, applied the bottom of my left fist to the middle of his nose, and then push the fat bastard over the bannister onto the stone steps below. I would have then let out a massive ululation and jumped after him to at least give him a permanent limp or bit off one of this fat ears. Nothing heavy.

3. That first picure is amazing. 10000pts! Imagine being able to create something like that? I have spent hours staring at stuff like that.

I wouldn’t joke about your last picture…they will be heading your way (and mine) as soon as they become refugees! That is where your tax money will be going.

That said, you play silly games and you win silly prizes. Drones with missiles rule. 500pts.

Well, at 52, Heather lets me go to the shop by myself, but with a note and I have to keep the money in my glove until I pay.

It is strange you mention sexual peaks and chairs…Heather has just bought a brilliant leather chair for when she has finished decorating!

Don’t cook sausage naked if you have bad eye-sight! 50pts.

The TM’s are almost sorted. Jamie is trying smile in the face of certain death. Template weapons are very nasty in Infinity. They are not good for those expensive Fireteams either.

I am working on making those building more realistic. Most of the little places I have been were lovely places with lovely people. The more ‘civilised’ areas were like dustbins on a very hot afternoon. The people were similar.

Who doesn’t know (or have) that album? Even Heather does and she HATES cock rock.

@sundancer – I get it, just like “…something, something, Burt Ward!” 100pts.

@limburger – Airborne rule. Remember that only two things fall from the skies…bird shit and Paratroopers! 500pts.

Maybe it is the picture, but I am not too impressed by those PR minis. The most dreadful of movies, but who doesn’t love watching big robots fighting big mosters?

We watched the new Godzilla movie last night. Pretty awesome fight scenes, but the human bits were painful.

What will the game play like? If you have had the time to check it out.
