Nice one Peter, I think I'll have a pop in before Morrissey on Saturday.

What games you play anyway?

Old stuff, Very old stuff. Sinclair, Oric, Commodore. Back in the day I had a few programmes published. All gone and forgotten now. I still play Manic Miner and Jet Set Willy more than any other games.

Looks good - love a xbox session.

However I would urge people to give up some time on Saturday to campaign for Hope not Hate, the BNP are going to be a real problem on 4th June. There is a campaign session planned for Salford on Saturday!!

Good call, Sir. The idiots leafleted my house yesterday. All full of unattributable, anonymous quotes on stock photos. Laughable, but there's a lot of impressionable simpletons out there. Jukebox has done a terrific job of raising awareness through the letters pages of the MEN.

*ANOTHER BIT* - Posties strike a blow.

ROFL.

I clicked on the link and discovered RockStar Games is English (and the original designer of GTA is Scottish).

Does that mean the GTA series is the way people in the UK see Americans?

The whole series looks so much funnier now. I'm going to go home and play it again.

Rockstar North are indeed Scottish and based in Edinburgh now.
Met the head honcho guy a few years back:he was a kid! But a rather clever one at that.
Now GTA set in Scotland that would be something.

But how? I thought Americans had a monopoly on women-beating and car-jacking.

All of the first post places were in Lancashire, Stockport was in Cheshire..... but in 1972 the lot of them joined Greater Manchester.

Even your precious MerkeyDive used to be in Lancashire with the posh bit (the Wirral) being in Cheshire.

The airport isn't in Stockport
It's half in Manchester / half Cheshire.

I know you think Stockport is in Cheshire as you go on the rob there enough thinking it is a moneyed place..... Cheadle Hulme, Bramhall, Hazel Grove etc
