The G is based in trendy Kings Cross* not south Ken. *The sort of place a Guardian journalist would have got mugged with 20 seconds before gentrification. I've been to the G at Kings Cross. It was like entering the lion's den. |

To be honest I only said south Ken because it’s the only place in London I’ve been in a pub. I don’t really see the appeal of pubs, they’re full of the worst kind of people - other people. Top 5 list of worst people? 1) other people I've met 2) other people I haven't met 3) me Can we add "wacky" people to the list. Utter cunts. "ooh look at me, I'm bonkers I am" . NO, FUCK OFF. *THWACK*. |

I remember the CD32 days. Liberation was cool. That was the first time I'd experienced a 'celebrity' (Neil Morrissey) doing voices in a game. 27 years ago that came out?! That information requires me to drink one consolation beer There should be some footage of Liberation in my next video... I should sit down and play it properly one day. Didn't have a clue what I was doing. |

It was like entering the lion's den. Keef was there. And some other non-G games journalist. And 90% of the former Amiga Power staff. It was a great evening. |

I once saw Lowri Turner in the Waterstones, Angel Islington. Christ she had blotchy skin. She had that look of, 'Yes, it's me, aren't you all lucky people'. Nobody paid her any attention, apart from me, but that's only because I was try to work out what skin disease she had.
Great story.

I once saw Tina Turner in the ready meals aisle in Morrisons. I asked if she was here for the value range chicken madras. She shook her head and sang "simply the best". Boo-urns? What are we doing? This shite gets two likes, and my Joe Strummer joke gets none? I'm too good for this place. |

Yesterday, I maxed out the Jackdaw. I will shortly be going on a murderous killing spree. Heck, I might even have a pop at a Legendary ship. I've got a plan, I'll just saunter up to it, all casual like, shout, 'This one's for amipal!', and kick it's face off. No probs, probably. |

I once saw Tobe Hooper in the ready meal aisle of a well known supermarket.
Apparently he was checking out the Tesco Chain Store Moussaka. *

Ricky Ross & Lorraine McIntosh in Morrisons Crossmyloof is the extent of my famous folk in supermarkets. This was maybe a bogof offer. My famous folk in nightclubs list is more extensive - but they may not have happened as i was perhaps hallucinating.
Mario/Sonic Olympic games with the child this afternoon.
Sausage tray bake for dinner.

I've booked a table at our favourite restaurant for July 23rd, I assume we'll be back in lockdown by then.

I think once saw Joe Strummer in Woolworth in 1982. It was very busy and there was quite a queue to pay at the till. Joe was in front of me in the queue and was next to be served. Then an announcement was made over the loud speaker. "Would Mr Joe Strummer please go to the managers office, we have an important phone call for him"
He turned to me and said....

Had to chose between Hamilton and Frozen 2, since H is 2hrs 40mins long and Pref.Mam. will be asleep before the end we're watching F2, which I'm enjoying more than the first one.

Hello again.
I spent much of the day trying to work out why our Brother wireless printer had stopped working on my and my wife's laptops. She could print OK from her Android Tablet.
After uninstalling and reinstalling utilities and printer drivers, it turns out it was caused by a June 2020 Win 10 update. To resolve it I had to download a patch from Microshit which, as it transpires, you can only do so using Edge otherwise the download doesn't start.
Thanks a lot Bill Gates.
