You have found my bio, well done. Sadly, it’s not worth reading. I’m simply an old bloke whose body has started to disown him. Well travelled and worn out. My humour hasn’t progressed much from when I was 14.

  • It seems strange to me how many these days openly discuss piracy, and what they are doing, how often, etc… It’s one thing to give vague instructions or point someone towards a website. But to actively say, ‘I downloaded X, from Y. It worked great.’ and/or ‘I’ve downloaded loads from X, I have over a thousand X, and they all work.’ it makes me cringe.

    Possibly has to do with age. Piracy started for me by exchanging tapes of Dragon 32 games, and I guess recording the top 40 on a Sunday. You kept a low profile. I didn’t think I would get caught. My father was friends with a policeman who was our main source for pirated VHS videos and many games. So I felt whilst it was illegal, nobody gets caught unless you put your head above the parapet. That’s the point today, many seem to be a little too carefree. Helping each other out is great, and after all, piracy is about sharing. But do try and cover your tracks. Be sensible.

    The British way is to speak it in English, but slowly, emphasising every syllable, and loudly, so everyone can hear. ‘Pie-ell-ah, yeah, under-stand, grassy arse.’ Oh, some of us Brits are so awful when abroad. I cringe, and sometimes feel I need to apologise for them.










  • I wish I knew more, but apparently it’s quite a common thing. Mods that have too many subreddits will just ban you from other subreddits. I think mine may have been due to ‘Left’ leaning politics and being British. As they were very American orientated subreddits, and pretty conservative from what I recall.




  • I would love to, but I have closed my account after being banned from numerous subs. Five of these subs I wasn’t even subscribed too, or even posted in them.

    I will have a think of other places to promote the place, but I am in so few communities that I’m not sure what is left?

    Then again, I did use up all my brain power with the idea of the banner. That does look amazing. So can I be excused from this game please? /s
