Morning, My manflu is almost away. Apparently Mrs Crank contracted it about 3 days ago and didn't say anything. We'll just leave that subject alone thanks. If you're on PS4 up for teaming up. I can give you my user. PVP you go through checkpoints into what's called the darkzone- hard to stumble into. From what I can tell you don't lose equipment when you die anyway. Yeah I'm on PS4. I'd be up for that once I'm a bit better at it. I'm crankcaller on psn. I'm usually on from about 21.30 Thanks for the PvP info - you too wee. I had heard tales of woe of folk losing stuff. My aim certainly isn't good enough yet. Having come from GTA/uncharted with heavy aim assist. Git gud. Good fun. |

At the Riverside Museum. Always very impressed by the boat models. Such craftsmanship.
Looking up the rigging though of a tall ship always gives me the boak. I can't imagine being up top in a storm.

Another few hundred hours about to disappear Disgaea 5 Oh dear. Another one in my backlog. More Skyrim for me, I'm now determined to move the main story on, so I'm now on my way across the mountains to Jurgen Windcaller's place. I found and activated the Lordstone, stomped on a giant frostbite spider that was in cahoots with a Skeever and had other adventures whilst trying not to get distracted. But then I should really be concentrating on getting my own place in Markarth so that I have somewhere to park myself and my stuff... Decisions, decisions. Watched more Mad Men (the episode where Peggy has to deal with the nudist artist), but also welcomed the return of Philomena Cunk on BBC. We love her, the only downside is that her explanations give us flashbacks to reading student essays (à la shitmystudentswrite.tumblr.com/). But thoroughly recommended. I'm still very sad that Charlie Brooker no longer writes on games in the Guardian. |

Last night I watched The Rock and had a marks and Spencer gin and tonic out of a can. Really sucking the marrow out of life.

I started building a model of HMS Victory years ago. It is still sitting in-frame, half finished. One day... one day... |

Did you buy all the magazines? |

But then I witness the cat knocking over my coffee cup again in her continually desperate search for a smooch and I know I need a different environment first. I mean, I don't even dare starting a jigsaw puzzle. One day... one day... |

Reading about the sinking of the Lusitania in WW1 in the museum. Went down 18 mins after being torpedoed which seems rather fast. You'd have no chance.
Also the Confederate blockade runners that Scottish companies seemed to have made a pretty penny from. Poor show.

Never been to Glasgow for long enough to visit the Riverside Museum, but I have fond memories of the Maritime Museum in Liverpool. Fascinating subject.

Spicy chicken wings, loaded chips with bacon and cheese, battered chicken breast pieces with assorted dips (all shared with Mrs D) and two pints of Kelham Island Pale Rider courtesy of the 'spoons at Oxted, Surrey...

I’ve spent all afternoon playing scythe against myself!
An hour to set up and an hour to put it away, with two hours in between Of great fun.
I’ve had the game for ages, then not got to play it about three times and have been meaning to try it solo, it works really well, so well it beat me first time out, even though I thought I’d done enough, quickly enough but forgot to try and control the Factory.

Never been to Glasgow for long enough to visit the Riverside Museum, but I have fond memories of the Maritime Museum in Liverpool. Fascinating subject. The Maritime Museum used to show footage from the deck of a destroyer (or some other warship, not exactly sure of the class. Doesn't matter) in the mid Atlantic in a a gale. Bloody awful. They earned that shot of rum. Nearest I've experienced is the midnight boat to Barra coming out the water, turbines whirring in fresh air, waves crashing against the side. I was young though and had an iron constitution. |

But I'm not really up on board games. Pizza, Pizza was big in our house for a while. It's junior frozen Monopoly at the moment. |

They earned that shot of rum. Nearest I've experienced is the midnight boat to Barra coming out the water, turbines whirring in fresh air, waves crashing against the side. I was young though and had an iron constitution. I remember that! One felt that one really had to hold on to something looking at the waves crashing onto the deck. Never had anything like it in real life - at least not on a boat. Worst boat trip was probably taking a little tourist boat from Mull to Staffa, with the skipper and his adorable dog as the only crew. Getting there was fine, and we had a fantastic time visiting Fingal's Cave, although Health & Safety was rather low key - there's nothing stopping you from slipping on the wet rocks and falling into the churning waters inside the cave, and one bloke lost his footing on the narrow path leading to the cave and was hanging on by his fingertips above a steep cliff like in a film. We wondered how many lost tourists per year the National Trust for Scotland is keeping quiet about. The captain had told us that the boat would leave at 4pm, and my other half was very anxious to be back on time, while I (naively) was saying that surely they wouldn't leave with passengers unaccounted for. We made it back to the boat just in time because, sure enough, it left without doing a head count. If you got delayed you had to spend the night on the island with the puffins and hope that there would be another boat the next day. However, on the way back the weather turned, rain was coming down in sheets and the water was getting quite choppy for such a small vessel. We remembered that Felix Mendelssohn when he made the trip that inspired him to write the "Fingal's Cave" movement for his Hebrides Overture had been violently seasick and realised what a truly great artist he was. When we arrived at the harbour the unflappable captain gave his verdict on the trip; it had, admittedly, been "a wee bit damp". |

5 hours into the division. Still don't know what I should be doing with the stuff I don't want. Sell? Break up? Anyway. There's a wiki I'll look at.
Need a snipers rifle or at least a better sight for my M4.
Really enjoying it so far.
