What was that pool game called?

The intercyberweb has changed the world in many ways.
Pornography probably being one of the biggest.
I was just wondering across to Spar to pick up some milk for our work brew gang and saw a top shelf magazine on the ground, it's pages fluttering in the light breeze. Like a cheap whore it was revealing its wares on the street to passers-by. You don't see many porno mags on the street nowadays. The shops still sell them so somebody must buy them; I'm guessing the circulation has fallen what with the interweb serving up buckets of filth into households around the world.
Time was though when you'd find porno mags discarded on the street, or pushed into bushes in the park. Kids would grab them and giggle whilst looking at the scantily clad ladies within. The innocence has gone now. Youngsters don't get funny feelings anymore from the sight of a breast or tumpsy. No, teenagers nowadays need to see at least DVDA (if you don't know what that means, why not ask an elderly relative) or hardcore animal scatology to get even mildly aroused. Nobody gets their thrills anymore from the glimpse of a lulu in Razzle. It's fistorama from here on in!
What have we lost people? What have we lost?

I'm wearing the Horace Goes Skiing t-shirt that Liam bought me for Christmas. It's -probably inevitably- caused people to discuss their favourite games and characters from the early days of home computing. Somebody just said that their favourite game was Combat School. Who the fuck likes Combat School better than any other computer game?
My favourites would be…
1. Championship Manager (probably the original one).
2. Grand Theft Auto - Vice City
3. Kick Off 2
4. Back 2 School (or was it Back 2 Skool?)
5. Elite
6. The pool game I used to play with Chuffy across the uni network. I can't remember its name.
7. Tony Hawk 3
8. Midwinter 2
9. Colonization
10. Supercars 2

I don't feel very well today. I drunk too much wine last night to celebrate the fact we've been together for three years. I feel odd inside. I need to work through it as I'll need to be pissed tonight to prevent a football induced heart-attack.

There has been an increase in blogging lately. This is predominantly for the following two reasons:

1. I was having problems at work earlier in the year. I ended up in several slanging matches with my boss and had to be careful with the way I acted at work. I didn't want to give him any ammunition. It's okay now though as he's been off for weeks with a mysterious virus.
2. Probably the only non-blog or news site that I read every day is popbitch. Sadly it has been added to our banned sites list so I can't access it anymore. Bah. Anyway, this has given me more time to waste at work writing this rubbish.
