No @briann, despite having top 10 scores in all 48 levels of Ham ’em High and cast iron proof of 47 of them, I never got my Ultra Sharpshooter badge.  I’ve dropped to 11th and 12th in a couple of levels now but that doesn’t matter. To be frank, it’s ruined my life and I will forever be bitter and twisted about it.  Gaaah!

Probably be a virtual SharpShooter badge @atlas-zulay, as I don’t think there’s any one left to give you one. But good luck. You will need to go outside Classics to catch me up though.

I am enjoying Dear England @briann. Joseph Alberic Twisleton-Wykeham-Fiennes is perfectly cast as Gareth Southgate. Not sure about the casting for Wayne Rooney. Reviews a bit sniffy though.

Usual story these days. Win one, lose one. Well done. it’s on my (ever-growing) list.

Trying to raise the bunny, @briann?

Three terrible birds takes a trophy. read all about it in today’s Challenge. I am in shock.

Don’t panic @catsnbirds, it wasn’t an accident. I had a pacemaker fitted (hence @briann‘s jukebox selection). You have to avoid disconnecting the wires. I’ve explained it all to Twiggy and she is fine. It’s too hot this week for long walks anyway.

My Southampton fan friend is pretty disgusted. Not with the punishment. With the club for behaving so reprehensively. It was the only appropriate thing to do. Somebody is responsible and that’s probably the last job they ever have in football. There are consequences.

Maybe the best @briann, but playing boring football for the last couple of months. Probably due to the pressure. But the context has been anything but boring. Now, for the perfect domestic season, Spurs need to go down.

Up for it, @catsnbirds?

Tom’s back! The toilet seat was left up again. One of us needs to have a word.

Weird that I can pound away in Classics trying to claw back a few hundred points on a level for  several days and get nowhere, then switch over to 17-14 in Mine ‘n’ Dine on a level that’s been around for 15 years, use ABo (without any multi-replaying of macros) and get a mind-boggling top score within a few minutes. Not even by some clever new…[Read more]
