You'd wait 10 minutes for the game to load then it would f uk up. I remember me and my mates during dinner time at school would nip along to Robertson's (I think. Not glens, Hutchison or Stepek.) on Gorgie Road. We'd do a bit of programming along the lines of 10 print "f**k", 20 goto 10, run or whatever it was. f**k would appear all over the garish green screen and a bloke who looked like ex aberdeen/dundee player Bobby Connor would chase us out the shop! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would also like to make it very clear that when I said "I had a day out to Stanley Mills" to smash some windows, I was referring to a friend of a friend, called Tony. I was at home playing Psycho Fox and Lucky Dime Caper Starring Donald Duck (prior to going to Pizza Express or its equivalent at the time) and do not condone any form of vandalism.

Melanius Mullarkey Posted January 22, 2020 Share Posted January 22, 2020 I remember our first “network” (Nimbus computers) at school which connected computers in various parts of the building like some kind of magic. Then realising that you could seriously irritate Mr Lambert the IT teacher by slipping a small bit of paper into a network connection which would shut down the whole network. He would then have to go and check every single connection before rebooting the system. Ha ha fucking IT folk. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeeTillEhDeh Posted January 22, 2020 Share Posted January 22, 2020 Hot Shot Hamish was the man. I think he played for Princes Park. I got a letter published, helpfully pointing out that the crowds in the background were excessive for a Scottish lower league side, which won me a tennerPrinces Park played in the Scottish Premier Division.Hotshot was joined by Kevin 'Mighty' Mouse who managed to combine being a professional footballer with being a trainee doctor. Both were eventually transferred to Glengow Rangers who were managed by Ian McWhacker.Hotshot's dad and his pet sheep McMutton were always somewhere in the background. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
