    I checked out that Retro Game Base shop in London earlier.
    Nice selection of stuff and a couple of arcade machines to play. I wish them the best of luck in everything but the style of the shop wouldnt be what I would do.

    It's in the Streatham area. So not really central.

    Extra fundage for games versus more chance of ruining a whole department.

    Congrats! Now delegate! (Seriously. Your life will not be worth living if you try and do even a fraction of the work of 40 people)

    Living up to your username there, eh?

    Just a long-time poster on these forums wishing to share some great news. Pretty much every regular here has been rightly guilty of the same. Fair play o1s1n, wish you well in your new position!

    Cheers lads! Appreciated! :) Sometimes I think it's nice to share a bit of good news - a break away from the usual Irish misery and begrudgery (something I think too many folk in this country wallow in)

    Anyway, gotta go and post a control panel to California now. Finally managed to shift that Egret 3 CP. Had to find a buyer half way around the bloody world to do so though!

    Never watched the show so random guesses netted me a mighty 19/50, slightly better than the 1 in 4 multiple choice odds. :pac:
