b.t.w. did you find your Italy top Hitch?
no... but I'm off now... can search long and hard tomorrow.
Nice American Dad avatar... I think that's the alien from that at least. lol
It is indeed, Roger in one off his many guises.
Hope you find your top *nods*
*nips into give Hitch a replacement shirt and to wish Italy good luck* 
Thank you. You picked the best Player too. 
I didn't find it. I wore a red shirt with green chucks... seemed to do the trick. 
They made short work of Germany
You have to love the Italians... they always start slow and get better.
Did indeed. *nods* Mario's goals were lovely. Determined that Pirlo shoulf get one in the final... Buffon too if that's possible.
Yay! Can't wait for tonight's final. Though it does clash with Chris. [He'll have to wait].
Pirlo looked sad... Buffon looked sad too... These things make me not happy. 
Anyhow... got Chris for later tonight. And last night's Once was the dwarf episode.
Yes Pirlo and Buffon's faces were so telling.
I felt down at the end.
No disrespect to Spain... they are undeniably brilliant.. but glum all the same.
I have the house to myself and have hooked my NES up to the 50 inch hd telly, downloaded a set of maps because the ones that came with Zelda are missing and I'm going to scoot off adventuring with Link.
Sounds like fun- though I haven't a baldy what it is.
pretty much this...
Games from 1988, console is older... seems to be work better than it did then. *knocks on wood*
It looks ok for 1988. That was about the last time I played a computer game.
It was easier in 1988 too... 
*glares at death count*
I used to play Atic Atac on our beloved ZX Spectrum... Did you ever hear of it? It was brilliant.
I've watched half of CP... got a bit bored. Dunno whats up with me at the moment? Anything with an intelligent thread running through it seems hard going 
My cousin had a spectrum... not too aware of the games for it. I had a NES and an Amstrad... friends had Commodores and Ataris. Gods I miss the 80s sometimes.
There was a lot of pretty last episode... flying squirrels (surprised to see Chris have a Backshall-esque reaction to them), bears and lynx with a baby lynx(!!)...
My wanting a reintroduction of lynx to Scotland has multiplied manyfold. *nods*
The squirrel hitting him was amazing. How did they set that up so perfectly? They have well behaved animals in this series.
I worried about that first squirrel that hit... didn't seem to get back up like the others... O.o They do see to be, but then we're talking about generally friendly animals like orangs and sloths. Anyhow, last one this week.
Been watching the Hollow Crown? It's good, but fairly clear that it was Shakespeare's "suck up to the Tudors" period.
