    As ever, if anyone needs directions, let me know and I'll PM my eircode, probably the easiest way to find my place at this stage.
    Just don't follow Retr0, as he invariably ends up in a neighbours house and they release the hounds on him.

    I think it's "pretend that Street Fighter doesn't exist and that the series started with SFII"

    Finally labelled my Bandridge selector buttons, which will avoid the game of "Which one is the ruddy Jaguar on, I want to play Tempest".
    Also, cleaned.
    And, moved the spiders to a temporary home. This was agreed with their representatives yesterday with them moving back on Sunday.
    My N64 power supply seems to be toast, if anyone knows anything about them or why one would cease to work let me know!

    Crazy how there was no ketchup or mustard, though. Was like that new years party at Lenny's. He didn't even have a clock!
