The original was worked on by Jim Ludtke, his graphics were amazing. Have a look on ebay, there are a few legal second hand copies about. Just need to set up an XP machine and change screen resolution and it is fine. Still think there is a slight chance of a new version. Had a good chat with...

Unfortunately nearly all, possibly all, the sites that offer retro games are not exactly legal. Found one a while back offering Bad Day on the Midway but that was not legal, pity as it is a great game and the guys who own it would love to produce an updated version but do not have the cash.

I just enjoying new things, ordering something from a menu because I have no idea what it is or going to a concert purely because I know neither the piece being performed or the composer. Have always cooked veggie stuff as Mum is a vegetarian and a favourite cousin turned vegan a few years...

In the last few years the number of decent Vegan products has grown at a good rate. Some of the cheeses are really nice. Even some of the pretend meat stuff is enjoyable now. I used to avoid veggie burgers and sausage like the plague but luckily someone had the bright idea of making them edible.

I also like the fact there are people to chat with in bookshops and often even someone who knows a bit about even the most obscure writer/book. Whereas Amazon has a review system which too often is made up of five star reviews written by wife, brother, best friend, publisher etc or one stars...

That is a very good analogy from Junior. Worth adding, should you decide to upgrade the GPU at any point, that would almost certainly need more power. Therefore a quality PSU gives you added options as well as a longer working life.

I would seriously suggest you rethink and look at AMD for what they are now, not what they were. Since Lisa Su took over AMD are a completey different company, while Intel have stagnated with old architecture and multiple issues.

Picking up my Volkswagen ID.3 on Thursday, will actually be ready Monday but could not risk paper work from DVLC getting here in time, need it to swap number over. Dealer has agreed to a bit of fun and is arranging parking spaces, cars side by side but old one facing away and new front on, so...

Sounds great, although best thing with faggots and peas is scrubbled potatoes - boiled potatoes well broken up but not completey mashed with a rich onion gravy.

A simple but very enjoyable dish I like in Köln is Bratkartoffle with some fried spinach on top then topped with a fried egg.

Think there are varieties of Black Pudding the world over and have never tried one I did not like. The Stornaway is great, although being from the West Country I like the version with gert lumps of fat in it. Another really nice one is Kölner Blutwurst.

It is almost impossible to get traditional food that is as good as home made stuff. A much missed friend of ours in Stenny was famous for his Clootie Dumpling. Sam was an amazing character and had the very dubious honour of having been one of the youngest soldiers to have been on the front...

Pie and Bovril is a must at football but if you get lucky there may be Stovies on offer as well. One of the best is in the clubhouse at Peterhead FC.

My old pub in Stenny had a fire exit door immediately opposite the local takeaway, there used to be a regular stream of munchy boxes coming through it just before a lock in. A friend tried his luck in a Birmingham butchers once and was pleasantly surprised. He asked for some Glasgow Caviar and...

Cullen skink is something I always try to have at least once on trips to Scotland, always been frightened of trying a tinned version down here. Usually bring a few Haggis back with me, Brown's butchers in Stenhousemuir do a good one, although there seem to be good butchers in most Scottish...

Would be worth a call to them. As they were looking at the problem before there is some hope it may have been fixed. Luckily it effects all users so it is vital if it is sorted.

Very true, used to be a nightmare for journalists filing copy for evening papers. Most had several editions and we had times to file and a word count for each. Anything more than 150 words and the match had changed completely by the end of the call to the copy taker.

I have an Octane and although bulky and about 4 kg plus a power unit the size of a big brick am really happy with it. To me it is a simple trade off, better performance and cooling rather than slim and lightweight. Probably a good job I flew business class to Australia, needed the extra hand...

Looks ok, without knowing all uses difficult to comment. A lot of RAM but assume your were doing stuff that needed it.

Tebay is always my stop on the way to Scotland, the Motorway Services there are just as expensive as the others but they differ in the fact much of their food is locally sourced and edible. Not been for a few years but used to love their Cumberland Sausage, which encircled a large dinner plate...
