Lynda La Plante is appearing in a local cinema for a Q&A session next week. She has told staff that any questions regarding her role as Tamara Novek in Rentaghost will be ignored, and she may leave the stage. "This is a role I want to forget".

It's not like you did porn love, it's a fondly remembered kids TV show that you now feel is somewhat beneath you!

Ten minutes in. It's her finest work!

Joans and I have taken some time off towards the end of the week to get my house ready for rental by the weekend if it kills us*.

Awesome!

The episode "The Flood" was epic! The flood was so bad they all had to go to the top of the tower block to escape. By my estimate the flood must have been 60 metres high!

His wife hurled an hour after getting home. Mrs Chinny reckons one of the eggs may have been bad.

I still can't believe that food was dished up.

Soup was veg, bits of what I think was bacon with curry. Horrid.

Main was some kind of chicken thing in a horrid yellow sauce with apples with sliced hard boiled eggs on top. + rice (I only had a little rice).

Pudding was some home made but still half frozen think of such pinkness that I can only describe the colour as like pink Angel Delight before they dropped banned all the artificial colourings. (I didn't touch this at all).

All polished off with instant coffee served in a cafetiere.

I can only assume it was some kind of experiment in serving a 1970's style dinner.

Pigeon island was ace. We could see Martinique, home of the perdiferous french. We took a water taxi there and back via the fusherman's harbour. Then we walked to have some lunch, back via the bar. Mrsa then went for a nap so I stayed in the bar for bit and then went for a swim in the sea. Happy hour in five minutes with another steel bad playing bob marley songs. Yeah!

Charles Martinet (the voice of Mario) is going to be at the Bullring in Birmingham this Friday.

He's doing an appearance at Game and I'm thinking of going down... But which game should I take to get signed?

I'm thinking Mario 64 but I'm not sure.

Have you got Super Punch Out for the SNES? I'd go for that first (his earlier voice work)

If not, then have you got Mario's FUNdamentals - his very first work - that'd be ace to have with his signature on.

Ooh, apparently he did some work on "Pac-Man Vs." on the Gamecube. I bet you've got that!

If not, then Mario 64. He'll have signed a stack of those before you get to him though. Tch.

I've got an XPS file that I want to change to PDF, what's the best way to do this? my PDF writer won't let me alter the permissions on it the the PDF won't open.

TheVision · **Posted:** Tue Sep 03, 2013 14:15

That list was from my spreadsheet. As for the missing Mario Party games, they're still quite expensive from what I can see.

Also, why have I got so many different versions of Mario Tennis? Odd.

Anyway, Nice suggestions. I did think about taking Pacman Vs but it doesn't come in it's own box. It's bundled with R:Racing. I could always take the instruction pamphlet?

I have a letter in the post from BT and from Talk Talk, both telling me that fibre broadband is now available at my address!

Go online and they both tell me it isn't available for me, teasing fuckers.

Sitting in my tent on a campsite right next to the ocean in Doolin, County Clare, Ireland. Walking back from the pub I spent most of the time looking up at the cloudless sky and wishing I could see half as many stars back home.
Having a great trip, and no regrets about failing to avoid the Internet: free wifi is always hard to ignore, doubly so on when it works in a tent!

Heh, beat me to it.

It would have been awesome if archives unearthed the local TV equivilent of The Sopranoes, with local actors, writers and production staff somehow magically able to create a gripping novel for television. And then everyone forgot about it.

Today, a number of things have gone wrong with work. All of them concern one of our main suppliers. Basically none of these things have been done. It's caused problems.

Trying to chase up how everything has gone to pot with this supplier we were told that someone at said supplier phoned one of the members of my team to day that their email system was completely down until further notice. That person didn't tell anyone else on the team, and today all that missed work has become very apparent.

Lol. :'(
