- Quick trip to Whitby on Saturday for Halloween.
- Kids loved it. Boats, seaside, bridges, chips and ruins.
- At the age of four Willow is lost to gothdom. We still blame Aunty Lula.
- Seeing long absent friends was truly great.
- Having to park about 3 miles from anywhere was not.
- The abbeys little Halloween event was interesting. Wish I got to see more of it.
- During the event I went to pick up the car but the Abbey closed while I was away.
   This meant that I missed saying goodbye to a good many people who were already gone by the time I came back.
- In fact, there were more friends there who I didn't even get to say hello to thanks to my poor timing.
- Not that it will make up for not doing so in person but... Hi to those we missed and goodbye to those that we actually saw.
- Alison is missing the whole goth scene it seems. Trying to convince her to go with friends and leave the kids with me for the weekend for the next WGW. Friends I ask you to convince and cojole.
 - Kids were tired by the end and were glad to get home.
- Sunday saw me paying for over doing things joints wise. Big flare up saw me almost bed bound for the entire day.
- Over all worth it just to see the Wife smile (about the day trip not the agonising arthritis).

Quite a fun little text based rpg based upon the legend of the green dragon engine.

Zombie Nazis in norwegian. Much of it is blood spattered comic genius.

Today we received a letter from the kids nursery informing us of two cases of swine flu among staff and kids. They also say that to try and prevent the spread of the VIRUS around the place they will put ANTIBACTERIAL foam wash at the entrance to the nursery for all visitors to use.

 So.. Any body actually seen this movie?

 I've just caught the trailer, along with many other interesting looking bits of film, on the Midnight Meat Train DVD(hopefully that will be Clive Barker win).

Colour me intrigued.

**Edit**

 Just finished watching midnight meat train. The gore was WAY ott but I still really enjoyed it.

As some of you know, Steve Clipstone turns 30 this August . As a consolatory gesture I propose that his friends club together to purchase a kick ass gift.

( Cut for those who don't know steve )

 

Saw this and had a go. Thanks to misstemperance.

Over 85 and apparently you have no life.

Oh dear...

I'd be interested in the scores from the "Back Seat Producers", I hope that they would make me feel better.

 Was mildly annoyed at the short notice LT event changes. Now I realise that they've overtaken another bank holiday, I'm quite pissed off! I can only manage 1 bank holiday event due to work and family commitments. Just as I'm getting back into larping LT mess it up!

I think they did it to me on purpose. ;)

( Some questions and answers... )

 Ended up with "The Man From Earth". Low budget sci fi. Interesting premise.

Alison is off out to see friends tonight (and about time too!). So tonight I'll be on my own with the kids. Hopefully they will sleep well and I can watch a movie.

 So what I desire from you peeps out there in the big wide world of the interweb is a movie that you would recommend? I'm not prejudiced, recently I've watched stuff as varied as '8 days a week' through to 'atonement' so I'll watch almost anything.


 I wait in hope O wise sages of the net.

 Might not be around much in the next few weeks. Alot on my plate. If any one really needs me (which I doubt :) ) I'm still mostly reachable.

Back on line

its the only isp in the world that wont connect to your forums.

 Yesterday Virginmedia decided that none of the subdirectories for 95th.org should be accessible, all that displays is a crisp white screen.. So no forums no ftp no email.
3 works fine. Tiscali also so it seems.

 My ISP is convinced that its the server i'm using. As every other isp works I'm convinced its virgin media.

So in a bid to prove them wrong I'm asking for the help of you excellent interweb peeps.

Please follow this link then post in the comments weather or not you can see the forum page. Also if you could let me know the isp you're using too.

 Any experts with insight are also welcome.


Grrr...

OK I'm bored and interested.


1.What's your favourite tabletop RPG system? The MERP/RoleMaster hybrid of my uni days. Lethal and fun.

2.What's your least favourite? Hmm... White Wolf. Just cos I don't like dots.

3.What system have you not played but want to try? Burning Wheel. The method of social combat  intrigues me.



Now answer these questions for yourself and post in your own LJ

I honestly believe that SMF hates me.
At least I have a recent back-up. *sigh*

"Guillermo del Toro has been tapped by Universal to helm remakes of Frankenstein and Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, per Variety, along with a big-screen adaptation of Charles Dickens’ final novel The Mystery of Edwin Drood simply titled Drood, and a new take on Kurt Vonnegut’s cult novel, Slaughterhouse-Five. The Oscar nominated helmer, who is currently prepping the Hobbit films with Peter Jackson, will most likely begin with Drood, a murder mystery that Dickens never completed." (Source: Backseat Producers)

 Very much like to see these, if they materialise.

Put my head to the pillow to get some much needed sleep. and next door start drilling. Gits.

Chasing the missing data base is not fun and I'm coming up blank. It may be a case of having a fresh start with new boards if Si has no back up or if Liz's hosts are as useless as they seem.
 

 As an aside if anyone wants a 95th.org email adress let me know we seem to have 1000 of em going spare. They work very well from thunderbird or outlook etc.
"admin@95th.org"  is already live and seems to work well.
