Holiday 2011: Day 5

By Iain 7 September 2011ReflectionsNo Comments

Today was pretty much a washout as Jane was really hungover. She had drunk quite a lot the previous night. We all set out to go to Brixham, but we had to turn around and drop Jane back at home, she was that rough. Colin, Myrtle and I went to Brixham, it was nice. We saw some nice paintings and…

Holiday 2011: Day 4

By Iain 6 September 2011ReflectionsNo Comments

Day four was plagued with indecision. I got the impression that Myrtle wanted to go somewhere but wouldn't say where, waiting for someone else to suggest the place she wanted to go to and then say "YEAH LETS GO THERE". Maybe it wasn't that, but that's the impression I got. In the end we went to Tuckers Maltings. The most…

Holiday 2011: Day 3

By Iain 5 September 2011ReflectionsNo Comments

On day three we went to Bygones in Torquay. It is a place that revels in the past, and has around a million interesting artefacts from the 40s and 50s, mostly nostalgic packaging. From preserved biscuits (which look surprisingly like modern day biscuits), through racist gollywogs, to "titillating" images. It was quite interesting though, and fair play to them for…

Holiday 2011: Day 2

By Iain 4 September 2011Films/TV, ReflectionsNo Comments

Got up and had a shower. The shower was nice. The bathroom in general was quite nice too. Then we had a fried breakfast. This, supposedly, was to fill us up so we wouldn't want lunch 'til later in the day, but I found I was still hungry at the usual lunch time. We went to Paignton Zoo on day…

Holiday 2011: Day 1

By Iain 3 September 2011ReflectionsNo Comments

Holiday! I got up at 5am so I could jump in the shower first (I must have a shower every morning - I get terribly sweaty at night), and be ready for the designated 7am departure time. Funny - 5am is my usual Saturday morning wake-up time, so it wasn't too much bother for me. As I said, 7am was…

Pre-holiday bonus

By Iain 31 August 2011Films/TV, ReflectionsNo Comments

Work is a bit odd at the moment. Loads of people are leaving or possibly getting sacked - I'm glad I can get away from it for a week to be honest. We're going to Dawlish next week, with Jane's Mum and Dad. Should be interesting. Anyway, as a pre-holiday bonus, I went to see Mum, David and Jasmine today.…

Just a quick one…

Issues, resolved and unsolved

By Iain 10 August 2011Internet, Reflections, Site Related, VideogamesNo Comments

Resolved: I think I have finally solved the spambot issue on the forum. I have installed new countermeasures that will hopefully stop them dead in their tracks, but still allow new users to get through as long as they have a tiny understanding of what RF! is all about. Unsolved: Why won't it let me upload images, dammit? None of…

It’s gonna be a boy!

Update: David and Katie are having a boy. He's due around Christmas time, but the main thing is that we now know what colour clothes to buy! Posted from WordPress for Windows Phone

Child of Eden

By Iain 11 July 2011VideogamesNo Comments

I'd been looking forward to the spiritual successor to Rez for a long time, from when it didn't exist and was a mere pipe-dream, to when creator Tetsuya Miziguchi said that a sequel was not an impossibility, to E3 last year and our first glimpse of it, and of course, the weeks leading up to it's release. Boy, was I…
