Most liked posts in thread: ATARI OWNER VIDEO LINK - NEW YEAR 2021

Ha...Missed that...Some of the people on there need bloody big ladders to get on their high horses as they do...

Brenski tried similar with me on the AA forum, I was talking about our filing system in Maplin that was done on an Atari and typed in by our secretary. I just mentioned that she knew nothing about computers and next thing Brenski is doing the putting women down line..

I just said, No, I worked with her for years and even she admitted she knew nothing about computers...

Simple experience....Karen was a really nice woman, very pretty, smoked far too much but had no knowledge of computer bar being a good typist.

 

Ah it's been a good couple of days, one neighbour saw me coming in and waited for me, she told me that the people above have just been given a verbal warning for the noise and even better she vindicated me from being part of the problem and confirmed that the bitch in the flat had lied on numerous occasions and confirmed that I'd been called a peadophile as well as other things by the woman. The council were not happy and warned her.

She furious up there and hates telling the kids to be quiet and now the spoilt brats are getting annoyed that they can't do what they like and giving her grief. Its not perfect and there still is noise but she's now one down the line with a written warning looming..

Personally I'm actually hoping she goes mad and lets the kids do as they like so the written warning gets done. after that its kick out of the flat time..

She is simply so mad in the head its likely I'll finally get rid of these arseholes for good.....I may have to take some grief but the end result could be good...

 

Sunday sounds good..

 

Just noticed this thread!

I'll be there at 2pm tomorrow. How about Google Meets? I've heard it's pretty good. I don't mind setting up a link if people are happy with that?

Fancy dress sounds great Andy. Especially as I won't have a webcam because I'll be on my desktop machine
Will be using my fancy new microphone thouigh so expect to hear a cross between Alan Partridge and Rab C Nesbitt....

 

Okay fellas

Here is the Google Meet link for this Sunday afternoon at 2pm (UK time)
https://meet.google.com/day-pxyt-wan

 

Great work, Al and don't be shy, guys.

JOIN US at 2 - whenever yer ready...

Theme - Dial a DJ - which one will you be? Al's got Partridge but who's gonna be SMASHY or NICEY?

 

Well if your lucky I might go for a retro theamed t-shirt and an christmassy hat ... well there are 12 day of Christmas so want all of them ..

 

Well I've just tried the link and it let me sign in etc etc.
I'll stay sat on the meeting now, but have stopped audio and webcam for now. just going to arm myself with a drink or two .

Sorry you can't join us Paul

 

I'll be online about 2:10 - had to go see daughter and just getting myself all sorted now!

 

Perfect timing Paul, we just hung up on the call. Andy got drunk and tried to mount an Oric Atmos, it got pretty embarrasing to be honest

Hope you got the family sorted out.

 

Hi folks, I took the full brunt of the in laws on my own, Cindy was feeling fit enough (bloody covid long), at the moment I pretty much do everything, shopping, washing, housework and sorting out mad in laws...I'm happy for all but the last one but it leaves me shattered at times, again, thanks COVID!

Seems they were having a disagreement based on dementia and sharons 'voices', basically it was just nonsense but they needed food so I had to shop for them. Its getting to the point that there's actual fighting / pushing going on which I read the riot act out to both but I doubt they will stick to it.

Andy and those Orics, good thing he fires blanks or there could be some very odd looking mini Orics out there..

Seriously I hope it was fun for all, when I got back I sat down and almost went to sleep, well I might have dozed for a few mins?

Second time I've had to miss a 'meet. because of the in laws but looking forward to the next one, mind you will the hoax covid mutate again and do us all again. Sorry, I used the word hoax based on the group of idiots who sat outside Guy's Hospital (last night?) screaming that COVID was a hoax. I'm pretty sure the very overworked nurses and Doctors might not agree with them. To be honest the docs and nurses should have went out to them and given them a good reason to be in hospital, a large boot in the kinackers would do..

 

Very Nicely put Andy !!

 

Very well minuted Andy! Now have you given Bev back her laptop and got the dinner on?

 

LOL!

Consider me sent back to my corner, Al, with the cat and the laptop requisitioned back in bed to catch up with more Beeb IPlayer content - Bev can't get enough of those grisly crime dramas and she promises that one day all my Orics will end up butchered in a skip but it won't be much of a Whodonit for us retronauts!

 

Nice one lads, sat here at 23:54 and my fecking back has gone.....Utter bloody agony..Dunno why but feck does it hurt...Just taken another tramadol but it like being stabbed with an Oric..

Nice pics Andy, good to see some new faces...I of course hoped the beasiality claims with the Oric were untrue (partially)

As it hits 23:59 I'm bolloxed....

Thankfully no neighbours for the weekend..Sadly they will be back in the morn......Wiring my 5.1 surround system to give them a bang back...

 

Those conjoined twins seem interested..

As for what is up there, I'm betting its his wallet...

 

Is anything worn under the Kilt? No, it's in perfect working order. Boom boom.

 

If Allans video isn't working we can just paste this in..

 

Going loose as a English man in Glasgow is risky enough, to go in to a drinking establishment is just asking for trouble

Hell, I'm worried enough about going to Belfast and I was born there...(my accent says otherwise sadly). I'd love to see the old place again but my old man mixed with the UDA while here in England and is linked back to Belfast in that way and I don't need that hassle. He used to meet them in the Clissold Arms, a pub in Stoke Newington, I was about 14 and I played pool with the locals (typical Irish / Black pub, got on like a house on fire) but his mates would come in and you would hear "A word Sammy" which was to my dad, Stanley and he would bugger off in to the back room, I never asked much...

I do know they financed a lot with the sale of drugs, the name turinol spring's to mind as a name I heard a lot.

So going home is a bit of a no no in my head...

It was bad enough when I found out the IRA were buying stock from my Maplin branch....Yup, they really were and we had Scotland yard investigating.

What a varied life I seem to have had, all 100% true...

And yeah Matt, try and make the call, give us a quick tour of the command centre..

 

I was being a bit tongue in cheek re your event, as you say, your mates don't do stuff like that to actually get you hurt... (well you hope not).

I remember when I first joined Maplin the lads thought it would be nice to take me out to the pub as the new boy, what I didn't know that there was a plan to pull one over the new boy as a bit of a laugh. So we wander down a street and in to this pub and when you got it you noticed it had teddy bears in leather caps and short's with big handlebar moustaches and it was obvious it was a gay bar. Now because I was young I was supposed to freak out about it in their mind but I'd worked in teaching previously and half the teachers were gay or lesbian, it wasn't a big shock to me. So their plan fell flat, in fact it turned on them because the normal clientele of the pub noticed there were straights in the pub that felt a bit uneasy so they played on that and started winking at some of the lads...(I did say winking!)

Talk about reverse of situation...They wanted out quick...

 

I'm good for 3 (I hope) if it gives a chance for matt to get on..

 

I should be able to make 3pm GMT. If everyone is happy with that then I'll create a Google Meets invite.

 

I'm up for it, whatever IT may be!!!!!

 

Meeting link for tomorrow at 3pm GMT guys
