The “woody” cab of Frogger always disappointed me a bit-it should have had amazing side-art. Loved the game BITD.

R-Type is another all-time classic. It’s one of the late 80s games I have fond memories playing. They are now one of the most expensive arcade cabinets to buy! Same for the PCB.

Anyone else think that Trump bleating that the UK hasn’t joined in the war against Iran is *exactly* like a 4yr old complaining that his mate hasn’t joined in shoving toilet rolls down the toilet?

Imagine the Rapture, but where all those White Wing Christo-fascist nationalists get left behind, but immigrants & LGBTQ+ folks get taken.

Then Jesus comes down & says “dudes - why didn’t you RTFM?”

So, the US/Israeli Special Military Operation is a huge success?

Oh sure - just as in Ukraine, bombing the fuck out of a country delivers *what* exactly?

Ok

I lied 🤥😉😂😂

Last one now

GOODNIGHT 😴

My entire soul/being is screaming “you FUCKING Russian bastards”.

Using ballistic missiles to target apartments is pure evil.

A part of me wishes Ukraine would do “eye for an eye”, but it would blacken the soul of the nation forever & turn allies against you.

I wish this hell would stop 😭

@oysta.au - I know you’re having a go at BoJo, but you’re dead wrong about Britain/piffling/1950s.

I suspect you know little about actual British military capabilities thro the 50s/60s/70s & even 80s.

You remember Aden or even Belize?

Here’s a photo a navy mate was in back in ‘77.

Remember it like yesterday. I was days away from my finals at Uni. Ex-flatmate was from Dunblane, some involved were family friends.

Unusual for Scotland, I’d been a firearms club member going back 10 years. It’s clear gun laws had failed, and only a near total ban could help prevent such tragedy

My suggestion: UA disabled military vets trained as drone operators & hired out as govt contractors to USA, Arab states etc.

IMHO that would work far better/faster than training “locals” on tactical drone defence & also gain goodwill for Ukraine.

Lyndon B Johnson was furious that Harold Wilson refused to join the war in Vietnam.

I think history & the British public are glad Harold wasn’t a lying slimeball like Blair.

Blair,btw,secretly agrees UK would join US into war *months* before all the UN & dodgy dossier theatrics. Total wanker.

Just because Dementia Don doesn’t remember what went wrong with the illegal & unnecessary ME war of aggression that Britain joined USA in 20+ yrs ago, funnily enough - *we* do.

Even Dubya said “fool me once, shame on me, fool me - you can’t get fooled again!”

Clearly a Who/CSI:Miami fan 🤣

Btw, the Williams Inferno to the right - *another* 80s arcade game I didn’t see/play BITD!

The first with multi-layer parallax graphics giving the illusion of distance, the first side-scroller, first with mixed gameplay of jumping & shooting which started the “run & gun” genre, first with continuous theme music rather simple sound FX, checkpoint progression. Quite a list, & fun too!

Odd fact. The US Govt wanted to fake the moon landing. They asked Stanley Kubrick to direct it.

He did - although he insisted on filming on location….

If it was ballistic missiles that took out THAAD, then Lockheed Martin have some serious explaining to do.

If it was Shaheed that took it out - that's one hell of a cost/benefit win for Iran

they probably *did* see them coming, but didn't have short range defences to protect itself

I 100% believe that both the Kremlin + Mossad have videos of Trump violently raping+beating children.

I'll *never* fully understand the 70+m Americans who voted for a convicted r*pist. Of *course* there will be kompromat that foreign countries can use, direct links between Epstein + Russia/Israel

Dementia Don might have forgotten the terrorism that occurred as a DIRECT result of the invasion of Iraq, but us in Europe haven't.

2007, an Iraqi *doctor* working at the local hospital drove a jeep full of gas canisters into Glasgow airport in a suicide bombing. Reason? UK invasion of Iraq.

150+ years back, which I was referring to, the spelling *was* Drumpf

Roger was a bit of a dick - learned after that he was actually quite shy.
Michael Cain was the loveliest bloke ever. He quit the Star tent & joined us in the stunt/extra tent. We had homemade soup, chatted, he became one of the lads.

I’m so sorry you never got the chance to live in Scotland.

Nothing wrong with England as such…

Ah man, I was in the group that did the films Highlander & Braveheart. I didn’t do those films, but did do others. Did Bullseye with Roger Moore & Michael Cain.

Been an actual pleasure. Fuckin weird you (& me) know Nanaimo tbh.

Be good to your kids & stop being an arse then- that costs nothing.

Apparently I don’t have PTSD, but my feet smell, & I will accidentally rip your head off & shit down your neck only on bad days.

Yeah, he thought so. I got invited to his daughter’s wedding in Nanaimo back in 2003.

I wore a kilt cos I’m Scots - I ended up being the belle of the fuckin ball at that wedding because of it…not my intention.

As I said earlier, you clearly haven’t seen anyone die in front of your face.

That’s fine. Tbh, it’s a fucking shitty badge to carry.

Go find a cute lass to shag, have some kids. You really don’t want to be fucked up like us old cunts.

Friend of mine was CAD Airforce flying Shackletons back & forward across the Atlantic chasing ruskies. One of his flights ended up being in the Guinness Book of Records cos they caught a high thermal by mistake.

You couldn’t argue your way out of a wet paper bag.

Royal Air Force.

Not that I was very good though, and neither were any of my predecessors.

We’re far better at fucking off down the pub & claiming 5 star hotel expenses tbh.
