Credit where credit's due.

I just found a massive spoder on the floor, I dealt with it in a humane way. |

MrTiddles - I tend to leave the little ones alone; I hate flies much much more. I name the big spiders*, but rarely see them - the ultrasonic pest repellers keep the open floors clear. But both ex-Mrs C's were arachnophobes** and I would've given good money for one of these... *Big Harry lives in the wall in the downstairs bathroom where pipework hole provides a cosy home for her and there's no socket for a repeller. She hides when the light goes on. ** The first Mrs C was acutely musophobic too and I had to catch (it took an hour with the ex- standing on the sofa screaming "kill it ... there it is ... eeek") and drown one of the little fellas - I hated doing that; I still have a vivid mental image of its panicking eyes and scrabbling forefeet as it swirled around the bog and away. I would've carried it into the local park and given it its law, but the Mrs was really hysterical. I felt like a murderer and like the soft=hearted twat that I am cried myself to sleep that night. Now I only kill wasps, hornets, ants and slugs in the house. (It is so not fun to step on a slug in bandaged feet.)

I didn't really kill it Chumbles, Mrs T dealt with it (gently placed it in the courtyard). As I have explained to her time and time again. If the roles were reversed and I was in Tony Spider's gaff, he would bloody well kill and eat me. Sometimes, you've just got to lay down the law. Mice and rats are OK in my book. I've got a good story about Tiddles junior and a rat. I think I may have posted it before. |

Morning? Humbug!
Games - Star Wars - Jedi Fallen Over, picked it up in the PS Sale. Good stuff, runs a lot better than on my laptop. Beat up a couple of big lizard frog creatures, and then went to a planet full of stormtroopers for me to take down.
Send coffee.

Glad to see that they have made every attempt to make a reasonably-sized console ... |

Morning. Sunny out.
Barely slept due to kid 2 being up every 2 hours. Just finished my first coffee.
Games: Some Apex, HZD and even a game of Fall Guys.
Telly: Due to a lack of any other options I am watching series 3 of Man in the High Castle.
OTTM: I have lost track of the footy, are Spurs good again now?

Hello you lot.
Gamesblog; Mercenaries, and another card has been captured. Would have probably been more, but a silly mission for the Chinese took three attempts and featured a long drive to the target area to boot.
TVblog: The Office
Amigablog: Turrican 2 - I reached the second level again! Got a bit further this time, but haven’t a clue where one must go to complete the level (despite me reaching the furthest each of the screen).

Morning all,
Gamesblog.
Spending waaay too much time on Pathfinder Kingmaker and getting into a tizz over whether I have selected the right feat for a character.
Podcastblog.
Used Zencastr to have a guest on the podcast. As someone who still points at planes this was quite an achievement. Spent Saturday editing it down to 70 minutes. Great fun.
Filmblog.
Er indoors loved the Craft so we watched the new one. It's just awful, from a narrative perspective it makes little sense. It's as if there was a main plot which they edited out. Bizarre.
4 stars.

I finished Wolfenstein last night. I now only have Forza6 to occupy my bean cell.

That is to say I have been bad.
Specifically I have bad character in the game after invading someone else's world and killing them.
It is a 7 or 8 off. I am not in favour of invasions as I don't like being invaded.
There were a few who were clearly inviting invasions and were prepared and smashed me up.
I had to kill tow before the trophy dropped.
Also I put more time in to the game from Thursday night on than is strictly plausible.

It's nowhere near as good as Doom, it's a bit 'beige', if you know what I mean. Lengthy campaign and cheapos though. My main gripe with it is this:-
You can't just walk over the pick-ups to gain them, noooo..., you have to look down and point at them. Try doing that to get some ammo in an intense firefight and you'll get your arse blown off.

MrTiddles A years EA play is £20. Will get you lots of games for the bone. With a bit of shenanigans you might get a years xbox Gamepass for about £40 which would include those games.

MORNING!
I have a sore neck from looking upwards for 6 hours yesterday whilst decorating. No stars.
Ate a M&S chinese ready meal last night, sweet & sour crispy chicken plus egg fried rice (with added dark soy). The chicken was very nice, excellent even, the rice was average and the sweet and sour sauce was sickly sweet muck*.
Games, not really. I loaded up Demon's but just created a new game so I could create a different character. I now have a barbarian.
TV, not seen it before, but I watched a load of clips from the 'new' spitting image on YouTube. They really nailed Cummings. It should be on terrestrial telly. Like Sunday nights back in the day.
*foreign muck

Hello,
I started watching Arrested Development again from the beginning. I'd forgotten how irritatingly smug the main dude is.
I also started listening to the BBC adaptation of the case of Charles Dexter Ward. It's not bad, although I'm not too sure about the contemporary setting.
Ottm: I feel decidedly unwell. Cases of 5G at both kids schools and Pref mam's work, but I'm hoping it's just a cold.
