I don't want them to the tune of 7 dollars. If I can't legally get them free, I'm going without - partially because picking up old games that you haven't played before is an uncertain gamble, both in terms of whether you'll actually enjoy them and whether they'll work. I'd rather save the monies and buy cheapy second hand 360 games.

Abandonware isn't legal though.

7 dollars is a sandwich.

It's 'big' deal, but still 823 bananas.

You spend 5 quid on a sandwich? You have more money than sense, mate.

Turns out, on Friday, the filth went around most of the pubs in Bicester with sniffer dogs and stuff. I'm not completely sure how I would feel if I were to be in a pub, then get sniffer dog'd. From what I gather, Boone was allowed to leave whilst this went on. At which point I suspect Nr Chris's wise words on the subject might have come out if my mouth. No doubt, ending up in the back of the van, charged with a public order offence so beloved of the police.

Holy shit. There's no way that could have been an accident.

There's another new guy at work. He looks even younger than I do. I'm impressed.

My favourite baguette shop has reopened after its refurbishment and whilst it looks far better than it used to, they've changed their menu and removed the 'Mexican chicken' option I've always had for the last five years or so. It might take me a while to find a new favourite, but I was quite pleased with the 'chicken tikka' I eventually went for.

Has one of the women just come back from maternity leave to show off their new progeny?

Did you get caught in the rain? Fair old lamped it down.

Yes. Thankfully, I was approaching the scaffolding around Blackwell's Music shop so stood under that until it passed.

Plus seven dollars is nothing to a high-flying lawyer type like yourself.

I'd alluded to it earlier with the "not getting chased by the ESA or whoever", though. whilst it isn't technically legal, noone's going to have a pop at you for it. Devilman - good point! I'll have a rummage. That said, I'm not sure they're worth 7 dollars a pop when you can get slightly later vintage PC games at CEX or wherever for 50p.

Also watching Full Metal Jacket. Having physically been to Canary Wharf - and thus in the space depicted by Kubrick - I feel like I have indeed been 'there', and thus can readily understand the complex themes and emotional trauma of the marines depicted in the film. I shall be sure to point this out to any veterans I meet on my next America trip, should they challenge my understanding of the conflict through my absence.

Er. We watched Full Metal Jacket at the weekend too. Took the shrinkwrap off the BluRay I bought about 11 months ago. Why did we all decide to watch it this weekend? We both have the Mickey Mouse Club theme stuck in our heads, which presumably was the intent. Also Jayne was in Full Metal Jacket. Huh.
