Yes, i can now confirm that I have been enjoying an all too brief spell of sunshine and cheap beer over in Spain for the past two weeks. The reason I didn't say anything here is that this is an open forum and security is not exactly very good if you let everyone and their mother know that you have vacated your house for two weeks!
Did I get a tan? Not really. I didn't even get to see a beach (apart from looking at one as I went passed in the car) I spent the time visiting relatives in the hills and shopping in Spain's equivalent of Tesco (Carrefour) Oh, and looking at a load of customised cars that had sound systems that would make your ears bleed.
Don't worry though, I have made lots of observations about computing and many other aspects of Spanish life, which I will endeavor to report on these very forums (whether anyone reads them or not is another matter...)
Now my task is to once again be a part of these forums after my long stay away. I missed my chats with you lot while I was PC less, although taking my old PSX over to give to my brother-in-law made the pain a bit easier.
Oh, and one more interesting thing about my trip. I just happened to pick up a PS2 while I was out there, with GT3, so I am now up-to-date with consoles (as far as the UK is concerned anyway) How this affects my intended purchase of a Gamecube I don't know, but I'll have to work on that one!

aww naw, no him.

Hmmm... this seems an appropriate topic.
Tendo Box reports that Paper Mario is to be released on Friday over here. Possibly the last N64 game, and a decent one too, apparently. Might be worth a look.

Why hello there, me old pal, pb the Notable!
How long exactly did you go away for!?
Get a Gamecube as well, mate, they're small enough, as Meka said, and they look rather spiffing too! Maybe your wife will like look at the Gamecube as a stylish, fashionable piece of kit that is a must-have around the house! ;-)
Great to see you back, Shocky.

I see the holiday knocked some sense into your head then, pb! :D
Hope you had a great time- even if you didn't go to the beach (if that's possible?)
Oh, and welcome back!

Hurrah, welcome back! We've now got about half the notables here!
I agree with Meka. You could easily hide the Gamecube behind a pot plant or something... and you could say you could just win games, instead of buying them. I'm sure we could set up a "Keep Pb's marriage together fund" and donate some games.
Bah, you'll win more than what we'd give you anyway. :0)
Ermm... not much to say, really. There's a WHSmith story writing competition going on at the moment, check either the story or life forum for info... I think the link is on life. £5000 first prize, and a book deal.
And that's about it. Done quite a bit in the story though, might require a long sit down, and a deep head scratch.

Vector's been removed in the last few minutes.
Why?????
Why?????

Ah, but I am in the priveliged position of having the consoles in my lounge. The cabinet was originally for my TV, but I have a nice Swedish wooden one for that now, so I use it for my consoles instead. My wife's view is that the more consoles I get, the more games I have to get for them and the less money there is to spend on the house.
Of course, she's right, which makes it all the more annoying.
