Another wretched Dr Who episode (12-7). I’m dreading them now but I’ve come so far I’ve got to try to make it to the end. Only about 12 episodes to go.  I must have got through at least 130 so far.

Had to binge watch some stuff on Netflix to recover. The Queen’s Gambit was good.

Surely surely surely any Google search involving squirrels and road safety would have thrown up The Tufty Club. @hunnybunny, you must remember Tufty.

Do we have a bouncer?

Ditto @birdleader.

In a way I feel there is a legacy here to protect in memory of those that have gone before and are no longer here (Rat, Kathy…) but it’s easy for me to get sentimental when I’m not faced with the monumental hard work in keeping it going. We all know nothing lasts for ever – we just hope there’s enough sticky tape on the roll…[Read more]

Bad time to lose the BP back pages and the opportunity to scroll through 3000 of them. Or not as the case may bee.

Looks like you are off the hook @hunnybunny, I don’t remember you having a garage.

Question for the ladies. My friend gygle (name scrambled to preserve anonymity) wants to know who it was in the BP that used to bring out the hunky men in their garage for certain celebrations/parties. This is purely for research reasons and all answers will be treated with utmost confidentiality. Thanks.

I got an email containing a message from @birdleader to @steviep147 explaining that the Challenge will be down for at least a week because he is moving the Nest off it’s (sic) old dedicated server to a more modern cloud set up. Did you guys not get that? That’s probably affecting all sorts of things.

Looks like someone fell out of the clown car.

The nest is held together with sticky tape and some glue. Please will patrons of the BP desist from any vigorous movements. That includes all you lot in the booths getting up to no good.

Why this and not for more general Android use? It’s all very odd.

Anyone know what Angry Birds for Automotive is? It’s in the Playstore (as of June 2024) and the description sounds like Classics.

Quarrymen

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.

Anyway, you’ve seen my back garden.

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. So if you accidentally split hot tea on your gold ring it would melt then?  Only about 950 degrees Centigrade too low.

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. Second only the the Penryn slate quarry, a few miles away and now home to the fastest zipwire in the world. One of Twiggy and my favourite places to go walking. Unesco World Heritage Site – you really…[Read more]

It’s raining. Not much else to do.

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.
