With his dosh and being in his 60s would he not be better working on a life extending drug before going for world domination? Would only take the world domination bit serious if he was in a swivel chair and stroking a cat. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can the good people of P & B not record a charity single to raise funds for Mumsnet given our fraternal/sororal/paternal/maternal connections from a few years back ?? I'd like it to be a fitting tribute and would suggest a cover of the legendary Fife band, "Stookie's Foot" single from the 70s called "Whingeing Bints". Any alternatives for the charity single ?? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My dad took us on a shopping day out, which sadly were all too many boring days normally to Perth or Kirkcaldy where we would just walk round and browse a load of junk. We were in Woolworth's in the Mercat centre and they were doing a deal you were getting 2 Platinum games for £20. My dad mostly bought me the platinum (reduced classic) range because he was a cheapskate but wanted to keep me happy. He said he'd buy me this and another game if I wore a stupid "Jimmy" hat for the rest of the day. I absolutely f*cking hated him for making me do that but I wanted this so much I agreed. Also got the original Driver, which was brilliant at the time. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stirling was their big one (it's surprisingly close to Saline) if it wasn't Dunfermline, but there was the occasional Kirkcaldy visit. Like you I absolutely hated such trips and was fucking delighted when I was old enough to not have to go. P.S. Aye you've still got some bags of shite here (not literally bags of shite of course). Found your Filth poster recently. Edited April 22, 2020 by DA Baracus 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BFTD Posted April 22, 2020 Share Posted April 22, 2020 I'm sure I remember Super Star Wars for the Super Nintendo selling for £70-£80 back in the early Nineties. One of the many reasons you were better off with a Mega Drive/home computer until the SNES had been out for a few years. Let's not get on to the Neo Geo - anyone who had one of those was a spoiled w**k. If anyone's wondering how games can be a similar or cheaper price to 25 years ago, it's because they sell more copies now. As we all get older, the market gets bigger. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember my mate persuading his parents to shell out £65 for super street fighter 2. Wasnt a patch on MK2 had for half the price on the mega drive. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was a lovely machine once it had been out for a few years and you could pick up the games used, but I can't imagine paying that kind of money for a computer game. Let's ignore the fact that I spent £100 on a collector's edition from a poster on here, and would consider doing the same if they released one for Vampire The Masquerade: Bloodlines 2 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
