…..and waiting…..

Guhhh – it turns out the Migration Agency hasn’t actually sent the ACS application off yet! I know, I know, they’ve had it for three weeks Anyway, one of my references needed dating so I had to get that done again and then resent. I’m assured that they’ll get it all collated and sent off

A bit of this and a bit of that……

A spot of Neverwinter Nights on the PC. About an hour or so. It’s an ACE RPG and can be picked up as part of a double pack for a tenner. And that, I’m afraid to say, is it. I have loads of barely played games sitting on the shelf, but I seem to be

Worms 4: Something or Other (Xbox)

Crap. Ok, that’s a bit unfair. I’m an old codger and have fond memories of the original worms (basically a reworking of Scorched Earth) and I just don’t think the 3D view works. My kids, however, seem to love it to death because it has tons of unlockables and loads of customisable stuff going on.

God of War (PS2) – c0mplet0rambugat3d

9 hours, 37 minutes is how long it takes. What that time doesn’t include, however, is at least two hours spent on multiple attempts to scale two very irritating spinny poles with blades on while in Hades. That was very very annoying. An excellent game, if a little short – reminded me a lot of

The time has come….

for me to clean out my mailbox. Do I really need 40,000 emails dating back to the tail end of 2002? I think not. Another thing – if there’s one thing I hate it’s blog comment spam. I enabled comments at 5:30, before leaving work, cos I’ve had a lot of requests. By the time
