Fuck me. I'm in a pub in Saltaire because MrsA has the poorlies and I thought I could watch the football but no due to the fuck I dunno but there's an American valley girl in here. I need a keep net, a jar and some formaldehyde. Fucking saltaire

On my way into work, I passed someone commuting into town on a unicycle. The joys of Oxford!

A while ago I saw one on my commute from central London to Surrey. He was faster than me (on a road bike) on the downhills, too. Fabulous!

I've seen a couple of people riding those Airwheel electric ones around London.

Kern · **Posted:** Thu Feb 12, 2015 14:16

*quick google*

Wow. I've never seen anything like that before. Unlike Segways, can you ride one whilst maintaining dignity and self-respect?

Surveyor has fucked us over and valued our flat £16k less than the sale price.

Looks like we might lose our buyer if he can't get the mortgage he requires on it

Boo! I was on the other end of that when buying my current house.

It's not the end of the world, we still might be able to get the house if we have to drop the price on the flat a bit, but it will be a lot tighter than I would have liked!
Everyone is a bit shocked at the valuation, especially considering the flat next door sold for £2k less than mine and had no problem getting a mortgage on it. It's the same flat and they sold for virtually the same price within a week of each other!

BBC: 'Binge-drinking continues to fall in young UK adults'

Tsk...these young people, eh. Drinking moderately, being sensible, not getting into fights on George Street on a Friday night. What a disgrace.

Fucking hell, this interview with Peter Molyneux is brutal.

Deservedly so, of course, but man it's not what I expected to read.

Grim... · **Posted:** Fri Feb 13, 2015 15:35

I just finished reading it too.

I felt quite sorry for him really. I know it's mostly his own doing, but still.

I thought I was 37 (and told the hospital consultant this last week, that I was 37), but actually I am 36!

Facebook. I was looking at my profile and it said I was 36, and I thought 'well that's wrong, I'm 37', but my date of birth was right so I asked Russell to work out how old I was and he said 36', so ... I don't know. I guess I just lost track of it at some point.

I think at the cottage I was the same age or would have been in the same class year as Grim, Craster and The Egg, but I've had a birthday since then.

Grim... · **Posted:** Sat Feb 14, 2015 10:57

I was born in October 78, so I'm 36 now.

And I am December '78. Obviously somewhere between the cottage and now I must have added on not just one extra year but two. How odd.

Obviously 36 was the age at which I went senile...

Am I the only one who was just enjoying scrolling by the title screens mentally ticking off the ones id played.

I should really download MAME for the big telly PC. Can you download it anywhere with all the games pre-loaded? I couldn't get them to work last time I tried.

Without wanting to pile on your date-based confusion, the Egg and I were in the school year above Cras and Grim....

Probably not. I've got a full set which was a 30ish gig torrent I believe. I'll happily share them with you but it may involve a hard drive in the post.

It's not hard to find them but I reckon Zaphod will be around later to give better advice.

Dr Zoidberg · **Joined:** 15th Oct, 2010 **Posts:** 5157

I've got a 10dvd set I could duplicate.

Satsuma · **Joined:** 20th Apr, 2008 **Posts:** 14359

I haven't got a player on the PC. Thanks though.

I could handle a 30 gig torrent though. I'd zapped all 6 seasons of The Sopranos the other day which didn't take that long.

I'll do a search for Zaphod's MAME download. I'm sure it was in a MAME challenge thread someplace.

DavPaz · **Joined:** 27th Jun, 2008 **Posts:** 38464

I R also interested.

And 34. Fogies.

Be careful with the latest version of Mame. If I remember rightly, they added a load of fruit machines which made it an unusable mess.

zaphod79 · **Joined:** 16th Apr, 2008 **Posts:** 14489

There are a few different ways to do it but this is probably the easiest

https://kickass.unblocked.pw/mame32-roms-t1347321.html

An 'older' version of mame with roms all ready to go

The ones in the various mame threads are just the games we played so are fine if thats what you want to play but not if you want anything else

Satsuma · **Joined:** 20th Apr, 2008 **Posts:** 14359

Zaph always comes through with the goods. He's like the gaming Google. (Thanks again, homie)

DLing now. It's only 5 gig.

I'll be back with tedious questions!

If he were born between Jan1st and Aug 31st it may be because it was all the same birth year? Anyhooo, I onvioufly don't have much of a memory for anything...

you probably do what I do; when I am, say, 35 I think I am 35, until I am >~35.6, then I just think of myself as 36, then when I pass my birthday I add 1 to 36, so think of myself as 37 for a while.

Damn. This conversation has made me realize I'm a year older than I thought I was, pretty sure this was caused by the Bobby Formula.
