Junior Curly and his PC games
Junior Curly and his PC Games
I've had quite a frustrating day considering that I should have been sitting at home relaxing for the weekend. I had been intending to make a number of posts on Curly's Corner Shop Message Board, and to post on Curly's Daily Comment, but Junior Curly (aged 7) had other ideas, he wanted to play PC games virtually all day long, Medal of Honour seems to be his bag at the moment.
He's managed to get to the third campaign, Operation Overlord, 6th. June 1944, the D-Day landings. Spent hours running out of the landing craft to get shot dead before he reached the beach, very much like the real event I guess.
Then he went on to muck around with Word to complete his home work, discovered (somehow) that you can use speech to text recognition and proceeded to change the speech engine and brought everything crashing down! Nothing wanted to work, even System Restore was "not responding", it took me two hours to revert the computer back to where it was this morning (after two hours of shopping at Asda in Boldon.) So, you might imagine, it's been a bit of a trying day.
Football
I went out for a couple of pints at the Snooker Club tonight to try and chill out a bit, and found the place to be freezing cold and half empty; however, I did get to see some of today's football whilst I was there. I thought the Darkside were a little fortunate to get past Southampton, Ameoba surley wasn't worth a penalty and the Saints were so unfortunate up front where a number of lucky defensive deflections denied them goals, James Prutton's effort springs to mind. The match also seemed to be quite a physical encounter!
I'm reasonably confident that our lads can go down to Derby tomorrow and come bag with three points in the bag. I hope that Andy welsh has another good game, and I also hope that Sean Thornton starts on the right to continue his rehabilitation in the style that he showed against Palarse in the F.A. Cup last week.
