I have a confession to make, and I hope no-one things any less of me.
It all started about a month ago when I was given a Skeleton to put together out of wood for one of my lads (who expressed an interest in knowing what all the bones on a model are whilst in a hospital ward, the nurses sat and told him about them all apparently).
Anyway, assembling this (difficult) skeleton required me to apply glue to certain parts to stop it collapsing (or being poked by the kids).
Where to get glue from, "AHA" I thought, I know just the place, off I trot, with kids, but minus wife to the nearest Games Workshop to get some glue ideal for the task.
Mistake Number one.
It's been (confession part) a looooooooong time since I've ever looked at the tabletop fantasy games so I was a bit dubious when the guy serving me asked if I wanted a game (I kid you not).
I thought the kids might enjoy it so partook.
The crowds gathered around and we began to play, well he played, I played and tried to stop two kids from stealing, crushing and breaking everything in site.
I had forgotten more than I knew but the nice guy ran me through the rules (which was good for all the spectators, by now 10 people, to learn the game and give their input as well) through with me as we went along.
Well twenty minutes of a speeded bespoke version (at least it seemed that way) later and two broken miniatures later by the kids it turns out I was the winner, to much applause and adoration from the watching crowd.
Man I felt like a million bucks whilst leaving the shop, that was until I worked out in between a group of kids whereas the words 'nerd' were quite audible.
Just glad I didn't retaliate with "But I won".
1. Tetris AI - Certainly gave me a headache!
Just a quick question does anyone know where I can get an arcade machine of Tetris that actually paid out money when you got to higher levels, I'm sure one exists.
2. So Cool. (but pointless)
3. Floaters - I suffer from these (as I write this 5 are in my field of visiion) and they are not what you think, dirty mind.
4. Shotgun
5. As I'm soon to produce and direct a movie (don't ask) I've started to notice certain aspects of videos that catch my attention (ok things I can steal), this is just nicely done.
6. I heard that you are feeling ill.....
Eh Batta Batta
7. Super Cool password Confirmation
Now, obviously you don't have to submit this, but this is possibly the best and easiest way to visually check that your 'confirm' password is the same as the password field.
Confirm Password - You just know this is going to turn up on something I do in the next 6 months.
8. Warhammer - How did this get in, please ignore, nothing to see.
9. Now this is horrible, especially if your a parent, but I wish I had been able to sit down and watch these things before I had kids to get me used to the predicaments and scrapes they get into.
10. Little Boots
11. Joking
How can you tell a maths student from other girls sunbathing on the beach?
Look for the tan line...
I just had someone trick or treat my house dressed as a postman.
Trust them to be two days late.
Well i'm off to sign up for an Open Uni Degree :)
