I used to work with Ray Coakes' brother. It really didn't register at the time as Mark just said that his brother was working for a "music station in Europe". We're talking 20 years ago!

Grannys Garden kicked ass ;D


To this day I half remember completing a hard level and then moving school. I waz a GOD at my new school as I knew how to complete this level/task :evil:



All I half remember from this incident is "to the left or is it right there is something that may bite" From that I either worked out a clue or knew which number to hit

LucasArts point and click adventure games

I heart and still heart Day of The Tentacle.

*sings* Luuuuuuucaaaaaas aarrrrrrrrrrrts *stops singing*

I actually started writing and storyboarding a point and clicky game like the LucasArts style one. It was genius. I will have to dig it out and continue it. "The Paranormals" it was called. Sheer blooming genius.

Bring back that really old advert for aftershave (Denim?) where the girls hand is snaking down his open denim shirt to the top of his jeans and he slaps her hand to stop.

Always made me jump no matter how many times I saw it ;D

Oh! And the scotch skeleton :

Re-record not fade away, re-record not fade away :D

I love old ads.


I *want* the bodyform ad back. BELMIT! GET IT RE-RELEASED!! Damnit!

I'd have to think about others though... pretty much everything I want to bring back has somehow been brought back/is obtainable.

*hmmmmm*

Common sense

Here lies Common Sense

Today we mourn the passing of a beloved old friend, Common Sense, who had been with us for many years. No one knows for sure how old he was, since his birth records were long ago lost in bureaucratic red tape.

He will be remembered as having cultivated such valuable lessons as knowing when to come in out of the rain, why the early bird gets the worm, life isn't fair, and maybe it was my fault.

Common Sense lived by simple, sound financial policies (don't spend more than you earn) and reliable parenting strategies (adults, not children, in charge.)

His health began to deteriorate rapidly when well-intentioned, but overbearing regulations were set in place. Reports of a 6-year-old boy charged with sexual harassment for kissing a classmate, teens suspended from school for using mouthwash after lunch, and a teacher fired for reprimanding an unruly student only worsened his condition.

Common Sense lost ground when parents attacked teachers for doing the job they themselves failed to do in disciplining their unruly children. It declined even further when schools were required to get parental consent to administer Panadol, sun lotion or a Band-Aid to a student - but could not inform the parents when a student became pregnant and wanted to have an abortion.

Common Sense lost the will to live as the Ten Commandments became contraband, churches became businesses and criminals got better treatment than their victims. Good is evil; evil is good. Common Sense took a beating when you couldn't defend yourself from a burglar in your own home, and the burglar could sue you for assault.

Common Sense finally gave up the will to live after a woman failed to realize that a steaming cup of coffee was hot. She spilled a little in her lap, and promptly was awarded a huge settlement.

Common Sense was preceded in death by his parents, Truth and Trust; his wife, Discretion; his daughter, Responsibility; and his son, Reason. He is survived by three stepbrothers; I know My Rights, Someone Else is to Blame, and I'm a Victim. Not many attended his funeral, because so few realized he was gone.

If you still remember him, pass it on. If not, join the majority and do nothing.
