Yesterday i found a free open source version of Transport Tycoon Deluxe
which you can play on windows XP. It's actually better than the original as they have increased the potential size of the map so you have hundreds of industries all around to connect up and make money out of.

What's your favourite game?

Alternatively if you're Monty (and therefore a boring cunt) and you don't like games, what do you do while your waiting for the vaseline on your right hand to warm up.

That happened to me once
I hit a pheasant at 60-ish mph, which damaged the front of my old Cavalier. A bloke in a Skoda going the other way stopped and picked it up. Presumably it was even more damaged than my car was.
