Isn't that the original version of Space Invaders, circa 1984?

As snow begins to fall across Sussex, signs are erected instructing soft southern men to hold onto both their manbag and a passing child in order to cope.

Stop panicking you bunch of southern softies. ;)

That, my friend, is without doubt one of the best posts I have ever read in over 10 years of using NSC. Superbly done, and outstandingly funny.:bowdown::bowdown:

Let him go. He's old enough, and you're only that age once in your life for crissakes.

Except the £ is worth about 3 cents at the moment. So your 4 months-worth of savings will just about buy you a coffee when you arrive at Calais, and that's about it.

But if you look in your Highway Code, it says: "Certain drivers may use their hazard lights to park on the pavement in a non-parking area, instead of finding a proper parking space, so long as they consider themselves so rich and important that they don't have to follow the same rules as the...

It's that thing builders always do – first few days of a job, there's dozens of people and masses going on. Gradually this dwindles, until eventually – while only half the job is complete – there's only one old guy from Latvia left on site doing an occasional bit of halfhearted painting.

Panettone, but it has to be from Valvona & Crolla in Edinburgh.

Radiohead supporting Belly. And, though I later became ashamed to admit it, The Cranberries playing to about 5 people, having just released their debut single. Dolores O'Irishboird, who went onto become one of the most unpleasant popstars ever, was so shy she stood sideways onto the 'audience'...

Yup! Remember dozens of police, expecting a bunch of hooligans, watching baffled as Attila leapt onto the wall by Archer's gate and started reciting poetry!

Can't wait. All the excitement and romance of the cup, in one never-to-be-repeated tie. Sigh.

The thing with these 'deals' is you end up spending money/buying things you wouldn't have bought otherwise, in the belief "it's a deal". Unless you go in for a specific thing that you wanted anyway, it's really a false economy.

Westlife. Only Elvis and The Beatles have had more UK number ones. Jesus. Thread closed.

Flew her to Scotland for a romantic weekend, and proposed from a viewpoint overlooking the Isle of Ewe, which - when you say it out loud, sounds like "I love you" - geddit. Thankfully she saw past the bad pun and said yes.

Another shout for The Go-Betweens.
