back in the saddle

back in the saddle

Huzzah!!
I actually managed to find the movable type p45blogs login page again!!!
OK I'd like to use the fact that I'd lost the bookmark to explain the three months of ......well nothing .But thats probably a bit too much to believe.
Possibly I could switch to the fact that thanks to the nasty spammers there were more dodgy porn ads here than the back pages of the Sunday Sport ,and it wa s bit embarressing going to these pages in work.
Except, well again thats an excuse, so lets just say I'm a lazy git and be done with it .

Ok how about a list to start things off , five, that sounds like a good number to start with :

1. Battlefield Vietnam
Still playing this , amazingly, but now online against lots of people , on the lovely Viet-navan server , I'm still shite though , àmong many others Bootinthehead, Batmandar and Draco's use of helicopters , sniper rifles and , well every other weapon respectively puts me to shame.I was also beaten by a 12 year a few days a go , slightly worrying reallyI've decided to diversify and pick the vechicles no-one else uses.
Yes,you cant beat messing about on the river .............. epspecially on a fast patrol boat with twin mounted m60's....oh yes baby!!

2.Pinball
My Mate bought a full size""star trek the next generation" pinball machine out of the "buy and sell" last week , off a bloke in louth who renovates these things apparantly.

Bastard!!
OK so he lives alone and has a huge disposable income..still Bastard anyway!!!:)
This officially makes my mate (Anto!!) king of the nerds..ok so I have pinmame, but its not the same...
So if anyones wondering what to get me for my birthday........

3.
Old Games
Finished Zelda :Links awakening on the gameboy , started on Zelda Oracle of seasons, I actually find myself looking forward to bus trips.Also Managed to finish "PowerDown" on the Atari 800 (albeit with an emulator on my Pocket PC) about 17 years after I bought it ..oh happy day!!!

4.
Bubba Ho tep
Bruce Campbell is a geriatric elvis (he faked his death y'see) fighting an ass sucking (literally)Mummy alongside a black whellchairbound JFK(loooong story) in a southern rest home.Not as funny as it sounds , and the effects are shite , but not too bad.

5.
Songs of ted
I like Ben Folds , I like the divine comedy , I especially like when they cover each others songs.Ben F has a cover of "songs of love" on his latest EP., which is rather good.The only downside is U.S. posters on one or two music sites saying things like "he like totally ripped off the Father ted music"

right I'm back off to the Ia Drang valley for a bit of shooty shooty , see ya later
