What are you doing right now? (6)

[Clementine]

^^^,^^,^ and to both of you

[Rocket Spud]

Why we're on smut: what does 'BigHeavy10' mean?

[Rocket Spud]

"10 is my favourite number"! Any reason?

I don't have a favourite number Nor colour

[Merritt]

As a kid I used to sit with an Argos catalogue and a calculator, and tally up the price of every single thing I'd like but could never afford with my pocket money. If I was feeling fancy, I'd whip out the Littlewoods.

[flumpsy]

I think I am gonna clean and refurb my teasmade today.

I converted it to a still for my homebrew a little while back but think it is time to convert it back. Inspired by the argos catalogue !! I may do it whlie wearing one of the watches out of it too

Yeah I used to do that too.

[Clementine]

I'm watching Little Nicky. I'm not ashamed to admit that I kinda love this film.

Maybe a little bit ashamed

[Concept]

Being lazy on the couch. Considering selling my bum out to not be quite as skint.

I don't think it's the greatest idea that I've ever had, but hey ho.

[Rocket Spud]

Playing Punch Out

I've just TKO'd Piston Honda!

[Jam]

^ Sh*t boy, that's the best website ever. Thanks

[Rocket Spud]

I've not even scratched the surface - all i did was Google 'punch out online' and that came up. Sounds like it could be worth investigating. I may even go look for my TOTAL magazine collection up in the attic if i haven't already sold them ... i probably have though, when i went a bit ebay crazy years ago

Still, i've got a few years worth of Beanos up there

[Rocket Spud]

.... Rooting around in the attic ...

[Rocket Spud]

Score.. !!!

[Rocket Spud]

Hahaha, EJ was a classic!

I've got an almost complete collection right up to issue 49, Jan '96 .... which is probably around the time i discovered masturbation.

[Rocket Spud]

Reading the Punch Out review in issue 11.

It kinda amazes me that all you had to go on before purchasing a game was a few screenshots, a brief 3-5 paragragh review and a 'looks, sounds, gameplay, lifespan and total rating (out of 100)' end summary - that was before you shell out £45 on the latest release. I suppose you had Gamesmaster on tv ... i never really watched that though, i guess they reveiwed games. You could always coax a mate to buy a game you were unsure of, then if it were crap it would be their problem

[Rocket Spud]

How very dare you! There wasn't a scrap of smut to be seen i'll have you know! I do recall some of the next gen gamer mags having a bit of fluff about the pages, trying to sex it up a bit, but these mags - from what i can see - were very clean.

I've just sat down to go through them properly, i'm gonna indulge myself a bit. There was an Arthur Fowler (Eastenders) reference in the Punch Out review so i might be here a while

[flumpsy]

Making homemade pringles. In fact home made uber-pringles.

I gave up pringles so this gets around my pointless self imposed rule right ?

First batch went far better than expected and by the time I got them even near my container/tube I had eaten them. Second batch made it but not long enough to take a photo. Third batch currently cooking.

[flumpsy]

I find myself making more crisps.

[flumpsy]

Brown noise is old hat, bring them here and I will slice them and make them into crisps. That is my life from now on.

[flumpsy]

The military researched brown noise as did mythbusters. Less messy than you would expect.

Crisps are my life from now on have you not heard ? My life, morning noon and night. Crisps crisps crisps.

I threw away a lot of other magazines too. Loads of issues of Official Playstation Magazine, and The One Amiga. I try not to think about it too much, otherwise I'd cry.

[Rocket Spud]

^ Ha! I guess they become more disposable when you're moving home. I see they're on ebay at around £10-15 (buy it now) an issue, but you can buy a bulkload of them for far less if you keep your eyes open.

I honestly did think i had sold them.

I did however sell a big collection of Beavis & Butthead mags which i'm a bit gutted about now. Meh, at least i've got these and a whopping great collection of Beanos!

[flumpsy]

Backing out of something tonight. It has of course been assumed its due to anxiety when actually I just don't want to go purely because I don't fancy it.

FFS

Okay, be patient, i'll have a look in a bit

[Rocket Spud]

Are you ready, hey, are you ready for this?
Are you hanging on the edge of your seat?

Yes, it's a Safeway crate

[flumpsy]

Sitting back and giving myself a break, whilst eating a bit of humble pie.

I did ok today considering. I behaved myself and did lots to help dig myself out of my self made rut. I have taken a laptop in for repair, it will give me a focus and make me feel like I am worth something.

I also agreed to meet up with an old friend tomorrow afternoon. For lunch out !!!! I know tomorrow morning is going to be stressful as I haven't seen or spoken to them in several years but I need to do something so this felt like a good move.

[blancmange]

Good luck for tomorrow Flumps!

Ruminating over the past and people. Never a good thing, I need to stop!
