I have a b'stard wasp nest up there. I did look for the nest earlier in the year (when they are less active in colder months), but didn't see anything obvious. I'm a bit too scared to go up the ladder now, in case a massive swarm of wasps flies down into the house, else a giant mutant wasp head appears above me, pincers ready to cut my head off. Think I used to have some cardboard boxes filled with CD's, DVD's and some old photo's. All redundant in todays modern age. I had a wasps nest in the roof, a passing over eager pest control bloke spotted it, and told me about it, i said i know, but thanks. He said he will get rid of it for a price, i said its ok, its been there all summer and its september now, they will die off soon.He said its your public duty to get rid of it now, they might go on and sting a passer by! I said- hopefully they sting the person who didn"t call you out last year when they had them in there loft!

I found an old tin bath up the loft,an old platform ticket and a suitcase which looked like a ww2 child evacuee would of carried from the last owners.

The little answer is - No. Do you think it's knackered through lack of use? Can't remember the games although some were kids simple learning games my daughter played although I do recall an alien shooter that was fun. I've just had a look on ebay and all I can say ASCPFC, is that you did well to get £180 for yours. It's the games that can be rare as hens teeth not the consul.

A friend of mine (J) moved from Dulwich to East Sussex a few years ago. There was much wrangling between J and the person who was selling her the East Sussex house. Jobs a good 'un And no,...i never got to see any of the material, and a good job too.

It's actually unbelievable what programmers got out of 48k. My latest computer has 32gb RAM but doesn't seem a gazillion times better. No way can I do the maths. I basically only play Football Manager as Palace. With 32gigs that's madness really.

I might just do that ASCPFC. I don't think I've got any collectable games though.
Dad and I watched games standing on the muddy slope of the Holmesdale Road end. He cheered and I rattled. |

My mate was doing it with a snazzy 128k Spectrum (the toaster). Has a built in tape deck. Ultimately, the emulators on the PC are easier but just not as fun as the real thing. The easiest just run on your browser, others run on DOS.
