Quarrymen

Today’s Tricky Teaser:

What links the Cold Reactor video with Buddy Holly’s ‘That’ll be the Day’?

Knew I shouldn’t have mentioned the cold weather yesterday had trouble finding me trossachs today @ixan57.Looking better next week 10 degrees along with rain and gale force winds.

As Jazzman would say: “Mmmm…Nice…”

As of last night, that’s all under a good coating of snow. First of the season. Quarrying up there between 1000 and 2000 feet in winter must have been really hard. Your boys would have been laughed out of town.

Had a feeling of deja vu about our friend Chirpy and scrolling forward a few pages in the forum saw he’d asked exactly the same question two years ago.What’s worse is I gave the same answer.I think deja vu is taking over my memory.

Anyway, you’ve seen my back garden.

Evening Stalky Dan .Those boys just don’t care,in another Mountainhead video Jon can be seen throwing fake money all over a beach.Tsk Tsk.

Talking of temperature, it’s idiot time again. 3 out of the 4 contestants on House of Games when asked to guess the melting point of gold, chose round about at or below the boiling point of water.

Well, well, well. The Dinorwig slate quarries, just down the road. I think, at the time that it was at its peak, the second largest in the world.

Aging hardware = my eyes, my fingers, my body in general. It’s touch and go as to which will last the longest – the game or me.

Same here @chirpy43.  Plenty of Angry Birds .apk files available on (for example) Uptodown, all for free. But you do need a PC with a bit of RAM for those emulators to run smoothly.

Hi @chirpy43 I don’t know much about backing up .lua files but you seem to have that covered.If you have access to a PC I would recommend installing an emulator like Nox or Bluestacks.Have been able to install and successfully play even very old versions of Angry Birds(2012 onwards).

Dr Who has just gone over a bad cliff. Just hit about the worst episode ever (12-6). Utter utter rubbish. Yes, Chibnell was one of the writers. Don’t ask me to describe it. It was shameful. I wanted the monsters to win and have done with it.
