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.

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.

Wow, a very rare thing today. A puppy parade on a Poached Eggs level without either Classics or a new strategy. Hard to know what to make of it. One must surmise that this level improved without anyone noticing (OK, it improved back in 2012 but that was already dialled in before today). Not complaining.

Just when you think the clown car must already be full…

Keep thinking the plural of forum is fora but apparently either fora or forums will do. But the plural of sheep is most definitely sheeps as in “Leave the sheeps alone Twiggy!”
