OK ... but ...

When I, in my childhood, learned about the slave trade, we were laughing at how the colored Africans (note how I use the PC term Smile | :)

) were fascinated by our shining, colored beads of glass, eager to sell us lots of slaves in exchange of a few of those.

How much more "sophisticated" are our own preferences - whether they are super-primitive games, YouTube cat videos or some "super-fancy" feature of the latest iPhone moedel? When seen from outside, is there really a principal difference between these and the glass pearls provided to the "colored"s?

Honestly: I find it hard to see the difference.

I stood in for him once, at a home for mentally and physically disabled children - and it was one of the hardest things I've done; it puts you through an emotional wringer.

Particularly with the poor buggers whose parents can't be arsed to turn up for anything ...

... And the recaptcha means that I won't be playing it (or any other game from the site).

That's food for thought, given that I've bought 245 games from GoG, in the couple of years I've been signed up with them.

Well ... I have a beard, a pony, and I used to ride bikes. But then Herself's arthritis meant she can't get on the back anymore so I had to move to cars. Sigh | :sigh:

I miss my Nortons, Guzzi's, and Dukes. Heck I even miss my CB550F Hondas and TR1 Yamahas ... Laugh | :laugh:

Impressed because:

I was willing to pay EUR10 for this, a couple of months ago, but then forgot to.

**cking unimpressed because:

Of the four browsers I tried, that page only works in chrome (the button never appears).

Guess who'll be getting a nicely worded complaint.

Nah - they'd be byteing off more than they can too as they're just too DIMM. The best way is to just RAM it down their throats.
