Happy birthday MC5!

[st d] I can beat that. it's impossible. Anyone would think we had been building this coincident-rich verbal stunt for the past two weeks or so... And I'm seriously looking at the site now. Thank you :o)

pen] all i can say is this. Buy one. You will never regret it. They are gorgeous.

Quite appropriate really as it is rab we have to thank for mc5.

pay attention, lad!

Don't want to get too self-indulgent but I really should thank:

• Projoy - for the logo (and not suing me for ripping it off, or manipulating it at times like this).
• Nik - for the hardware, and keeping the site live beyond the call of duty.
• Everyone else - for playing, and for not cocking up the HTML (only two fixes required in a year's play).

Right, time to get pissed.

Like the logo, btw.. :-)

Duty, maybe, but decency and morality, no. Anyway, it's a good 5 months (to the day-of-month - how freaky?) until MC5's birthday at angrycake.com. Which box has just reached 43 days uptime, while I figured this post out.

Oh, that uptime is so low only because <spoddy reason in the rollover>. Also, 43 days probably extends further back than the last time the DSL was down.

Did the Earth move for you too?

oooh ... I've just looked back to the very first entries in this game and was pleased to see that I was there! :-)
Is anyone up for an Anniversary Chat [e-pilg MCiOS] in an hour or so [when you all return from Friday night fun]?

Today is my birthday. However, I'm not 1.
"Mrs" Bob gave me a copy of a David Icke book that she found in an Oxfam in Bath. Apparently the Queen is a lizard. Just my sort of book :o)

I thought you'd lik a nice russian greeting for this momentous occasion, so...
S'Raaaa-zhdyeistvom

S'Razhdyeistvom MC5
S'Raaaa-zhdyeistvom! It sounds better after lots of vodka.

Are there any American players out there who are fans of Pyramid?

only if you ever want to see it again I'd write to the distributors before Tuesday because it's just been cancelled....

[ZK] I didn't think it went well with Donny Osmond as host. You can't beat Dick Clark at that show.

I never did get to see it with Dick Clark. (too young and british) Still, if you know anyone who does like it...

One should expect it really ... the inevitable round of e-mails following a major news story, in this case, Harold Shipman's suicide. This morning I received the one relating to the plans for a film of his life [starring De Niro] called 'The Old Dear Hunter'. Tasteless, maybe, but I have to confess I chuckled. Do only we Brits have a propensity for laughter in the face of appalling events?

No, there are people with this quality born all over the planet; it just seems that in the UK the concentration is substantially higher and/or less secretive about it. Perhaps UK society is more at home with, or based around, this tendency. After all, it's not so long ago ('help! Help! I'm being oppressed!') that we had little else but each others' misery to find amusing. Oh, and that is a superb pun.
