I think I'll go stand in front of the clothes dryer, it'll help wake me up.

Good morning Mike and Beets!

Another find day here, and heading for a long dog walk, clear some long waited work and then do some gardening.

While you dry yourself with your oversized hair dryer, will the coffee cup be cold?

Morning John.

I am worn out today..I was out all day yesterday taking my son out for a birthday treat. He is a Warhammer 40,000 fan so all he wanted to do was to go to the Games Workshop up in Oxford street (boys eh?)

I can't quite believe how much time we spent up there but I have to say that the staff were great. They have it all set up so kids can build their models there and play games there. I bought a cake and the whole shop sang happy birthday to him. It sounds like a strange way to spend a birthday..but he said it was one of the best birthdays he has ever had, so go figure.

Good morning to you and Al.

Looks like your eldest had the birthday of his dreams, and, despite sounding exhausted, you sound as if you enjoyed the exhibition as well. Certainly it will be a different approach to a traditional birthday celebration.

Now you have set a precedence for next year!

Recover and enjoy

Thanks John. It certainly wasn't a conventional birthday..but it was nice for him to get out and meet other nerd kids like himself. It seems these Warhammer shops run like boys youth clubs rather than conventional stores. The staff are all gaming fanatics and are happy to give lessons and tips on model painting. Everyone is welcome to stay there and play with the gaming tables they have set up. I know my son is planning to spend more time there.

As to next year... I think the next Warhammer birthday will be sooner than that. My youngest wants to copy his big brother and do the same for his birthday.

I am sure

I think I know the store ... It used to be the GameWorkshop, and Nottingham had one in the Victoria Centre.

Did you suffer a similar fate to Es, then Al?

I don't game, but do use Voice Recognition while running 4 instances of S@H. I tend to use this combination on my most powerful rigs though!

Not on your life! The coffee's always piping hot around here. ;)




Fresh, too! (Thanks to Carlos Sanchez and his trusty mule, Conchita)







@Es: Sounds like your son had a great time. There are a lot worse places for kids to hang out. ;)

I run both BOINC and World of Warcraft (with the video settings wide open) on my rig(s) and don't have any problems.
