I’ve been trying to reply all day Sarah [having a day off work] but there is a serious handicap in that this is quite a long-winded game and everytime I get a decent score [nothing that would threaten the mighty Sarah, of course] when I go to submit my score I find I have been logged out of the site.
I’m flattered that you dedicated your high score to me and I would really like to reply in kind but how many days of my life am I supposed to spend hoping that this time it hasn’t logged me out?
Is there anything at all I can do to stop it happening?

Me, and most of academic England would just like to know what he actually looked like and anything else would be a bonus. Maybe he would roar with laughter at some of the theories and guesses passed down through the centuries about his life…Mind you, it might not be much of a dinner party then because I’d probably end up ignoring all the other guests lol
Sorry for spotting this thread a wee bit late but I would like to invite Samuel Beckett and Eminem.
Wouldn’t they go well together. Two people who made a living from being original and cynical from different generations.
I would also invite Bill Clinton, [for a nice saxaphone break as well as the fact that he’s a good listener], Tony Wilson [“punk” entrepeur from the 80’s and 90’s who was at the hub of changing musical fashions in Manchester] and Johhny [Rotten] Lydon who I have always wanted to meet.
Hahahaha. You funny bugger, Sarah. Your post made me laugh out loud.
Okay it’s over to you den. Are you capable of snatching Sarah’s jewels?
I opt out of this one so it’s up to you to get the jewels back where they belong, er…with the male of the species!
Come on, den!
:p
Hi Sarah,
Yes, of course, I see where you’re coming from now, but I was thinking of the current champion not last month’s [ancient history that lol].
Well you better hurry up and grab them Northern jewels back and get with the moment, that’s all i can say!
Don’t worry you’re not under any threat from me on that game [can’t answer for den tho].

I have worked at places that see alcholism as a disease just as much as any other germ-induced condition and offer treatment options that allow the employee to keep their job while involved in the recovery process.Yes it does. It recognises alcoholism as a disease and as such you cannot be sacked for it if you admit you have a problem. I work for the local council, which is essentially the place that administers local taxes and how they are spent etc, [for those outside the UK, which is probably most of you] and we have stronger unionism than most places around at the moment.
Yet this system gets abused, as all things that are there for a minority of extreme cases but open to everybody perhaps do.
I have known a man [not the one I’m refering to on this thread] who said he was an alcoholic to get the time off to go for this psychological “treatment” just because it was time away from work [because the treatment is in our time, not theirs].
So the managers are abit wary of going there, they know that the upshot of reporting somebody for alcohol abuse is the person will confess his alcoholism to save his job, then he will be allowed this time out for counselling, and ultimately nothing will change apart from that they will get even less work out of them than usual because of the time off.
Sorry, that all seems abit depressing.
😀

When I went onto the Arcade to see what your high score was on Ron North’s Jewels it said that the champion was somebody called sj91505.
So if that person is the champion surely he or she has got possession of the jewels, or am I missing something??????

Perhaps the point is that alcohol is a far more dangerous drug than any other in that accounts for more deaths than any other supposedly “hard” drug, or even the much villified tabacco.
Yet it’s connived at by governments.
You can walk into a nice clean shop and buy it over the counter, no need for shady deals on a backstreet.
Sorry, I seem to be going on abit but the hypocrisy of it all annoys me.
:woot:
Thankyou Sarah [which is also my girlfriend’s name, by the way, so I like you already] but Den is whooping all the ass round here, not “both” of us.
So you are also known as sj91505?
Hmmm…interesting!
Lucky?
There was nothing lucky about that.
If it was luck then why are the Crown Jewels already safely within your grasp for “Feb-March”?
Maybe there’s shades of Michael Jackson in all this. Like him she was groomed for stardom from an early age [“Disney Club” and all that] and never had a chance to grow up out of the spotlight. It’s hard enough to keep your feet on the ground at her age without having all that to contend with.
So we have a new champion. Well done to you den for breaking the records on several games as well as for overall titles won.
Are you going to come and accept your prize?
It’s the Crown Jewels, incase you’re wondering lol.
We’ll have to agree to disagree on that one, PolarBear.
I agree that Abbot and Costello were good but I don’t think that they had L&H’s timing, or at least not as consistently.
[or maybe the old black & white film techniques don’t do them justice. Imagine the money that [dual] talent like theirs could generate today!]
I seem to remember that the staticisians [governers of out Universe as they are] decided that they could actually predict what would be the most depressing day of the year in the UK.
Guess what: it was a monday at the begining of Winter.
Two depressing factors put together make alot of depression, apparently.
:woot:
