So we have Bumrah and cARSE playing but Tongue’s asking why Arshdeep isn’t playing? Wot? Bad taste?Sounds like the setup to one of @hunnybunny‘s rude jokes.

Yes I know and the head groundsman said he would have bowled.I think he might have got more out of the wicket than some of our duds.

Gill said he would have bowled too.

Anyway, I will take up the FIFA bashing theme happily @brianN. Matches played in totally unsuitable conditions, 40-41 degrees, two hour breaks for thunderstorms and…restricting water for spectators (who understandably just went home). You couldn’t make it up etc. etc.

Come back next year for more of this. If…[Read more]

So it’s day one of a huge 5 test series.Chance to put down a marker.It’s a baking hot day.Your strength is your batting given Archer,Wood & Atkinson are unavailable.Their strength is their batting.You win the toss and decide to have a bowl…Why?…anyone?…?!?

I will check out the J2ME ref as I’m always interested in playing original levels I’ve never seen before.Do they include versions for pc emulator?

Never mind your sauce @desperate-dan, these Discord boys know their stuff.Despite @bikeborb1 being very polite the language over there can get quite fruity which might bring @hunnybunny out of retirement.

Wow, I can’t believe @brianN‘s sophistication might be deterring some people from the BP.

Hi @bikeborb1 since you’re still around I did find a Nokia based AB game called Free with Magic which has 20 levels most of them I don’t recognise.Is this different from the levels we’ve spoken about previously?

I don’t know disappear for a couple of days come back and everyone’s talking about Angrybirds.What’s going on?

Hi @bikeborb1 hope things are well with you.BTW did eventually get hold of a Vuela Tacho Space with working PU.My inner child loves watching that circular saw buzzing thru pigmeat.Never did find a link to the Nokia or Google+ levels…[Read more]

But be very very careful with the juke box.

Hi @bikeborb1, that’s a good clarification thanks. I didn’t mean to appear to be making a comment about all this behind your back – I earlier sent you a very similar message in the comments thread of the Challenge page but it seems to have disappeared into thin air. I certainly knew nothing about all this but I’ll stick to my assertion that this…[Read more]

I think we should big it up for @leggy who has just qualified for her UltraSharpshooters badge for the Moon of Endor episode of Star Wars. This is an ultra rare achievement so big congratulations.

On the PE 3-1 subject, I have obviously gone back to earlier versions to see if they were better but I don’t think I ever got anything as early as…[Read more]

Well I’ve had a little tinker about on PE 3-1 using both classic and Original and I don’t envy you your task @desperate-dan.Couple of observations though,using Classic there seems to be more room for randomness but the higher scores are all using Original.Here I tried bouncing Red of the small wood block up to the tnt(this doesn’t work on Classic)…[Read more]

Sometimes you can get a batch of good scores that are version specific often noted by Nest flingers on the walk through pages but I wonder whether a few slip by unnoticed.Not saying I see a batch of good scores here but Birdjo is the only flinger over 70k that makes a comment (dated Sep 12).Assuming the date corresponds to the period he got the…[Read more]

And… they have reappeared.

This reminds me of a front page headline in (I think) the News of the World many years ago which was “World War Two bomber found on surface of the Moon”

The next week there was a headline reading “World War Two bomber on Moon disappears”

Two sensational stories for the price of none.

Nah, couldn’t be, could it?

Now that’s very odd. The message that I posted today and the Doc’s nice reply have both now vanished. They were on the comments section of the Challenge page. Strange things have been happening on the Challenge page and maybe it has now extended to the comments. There was nothing dodgy, in fact I just asked a question about whether there were…[Read more]

We’re cool. He even complimented me today.

I guess we can’t be 100% sure about Google Plus because if @murash joined the Nest in 2012 and registered his platform then, 13 years later if he is genuinely active (rather than entering old scores) that might not be the case. However, you are probably correct. This level has been an absolute brute for…[Read more]
