Seeing pictures of that Tower Block fire in China
Makes me want to play that old computer game 'Rampage' where you got your ape to climb buildings and stuff.

Has anything current triggered any retro moments for you recently?

I've just had mince, (quorn), and tatties for my tea just like my nana used to make.
Nomnomnom.

Your Nan was a veggie too?

( JeffTheDogFucker Can you dig it?, Mon 15 Nov 2010, 18:15, Reply)

No Jeff, when she cooked it it was real mince.
This was many years ago, hence my answer to your RETRO question.

however it probably will just disappoint,
i could always get the c64 out of the loft and invite my brothers over, they live all over the place though, might take a while, maybe i'll just have some biscuits and tea instead.

Not retro as such
But this weekend with about eight million of my friends coming upto Newcastle and us all getting off our tits to the point where I thought I was inside GTA: Vice City has made me yearn for the days when we were at it all the time. We've not done it for yonks. Back to reality now, it's not much fun.

We all sit round the table eating Christmas dinner and pulling our crackers.
We then put the hats on and complain about the quality of the toys inside the crackers, (unless your mum shops at M&S).

Nah, they probably wouldn't fit my head anyway.

You're supposed to pull them with friends and they bang and you see who gets the goodies.

How did you manage this, young master Barrold?

( Monty Boyce, My cheese game is strong, Mon 15 Nov 2010, 19:12, Reply)

At half time during the match on Saturday I got another gram off one of the main Fulham dealers, a reet scary bastard.
Didn't pay him, he just said to sort him out later when we were all going to meet up in a certain pub after the game. Checked the wrap in the toilets and there was roughly half a g in there, so when I met him later I told him and said I wasn't paying. He said fair enough, he didn't tell me that it was some daft strong gear but only half a gram. When I gave him the wrap back I gave him an empty one that I'd already got through. He went mental saying I was trying to have him over, and because I was also ketamine'd upto my eyeballs I was in no state to argue. I was surrounded in an alley by three of them and managed to find said gear and give it back eventually. We all laughed (thank fuck), bought each other a few drinks and forgot about it in the end.

It inspired me to go on to Discogs and buy yet more Mo Wax records.
I'm looking for a DJing partner and a venue in which to air those dusty old classics. My highlights of that mix are that Lamb track into the Amalgamation of Sounds, the mix from What is Soul into Mutual Slump, Bear Witness into Meiso and that Bjork track.

A super mix all round.
