I totally agree. She's obviously to old for you.
I dunno. I feel like I have to second Sokurah a little bit. This looks awfully similar to the regular Manic Miner logos and Willy. So what is it supposed to be?
That is literally the joke:1bvl109 wrote: ↑Tue Oct 29, 2019 9:41 pmI dunno. I feel like I have to second Sokurah a little bit. This looks awfully similar to the regular Manic Miner logos and Willy. So what is it supposed to be?
I expected something along the lines of
Can I have Manic Miner?
We have Manic Miner at home.
"Manic Miner" at home: China Miner*

And the image of Willy that has been trademarked isn't Willy, it's ripped from a fan tribute game. He literally doesn't own the trademark to the actual JSW or Manic Miner main sprite.djnzx48 wrote: ↑Tue Oct 29, 2019 9:51 pm You know the image is from Paul Andrews' trademark, right?

Chortle. Any idea what he's playing btw?
Yep, Paul Andrews doesn't own the real Manic Miner or Jet Set Willy sprite at all. Could very well own the logos, but not the actual sprites.
It definitely isn't.Juan F. Ramirez wrote: ↑Wed Oct 30, 2019 9:33 am No idea, but it must be interesting enough to not text that babe...
Good point! Staring at an old rotary phone willing a text msg to appear on it... The lad's had a lucky escape there.DouglasReynholm wrote: ↑Wed Oct 30, 2019 12:32 pm Or.. or.. just a thought.. that phone can't receive texts.. I'd say that's on her!

I don't know about that: some providers offer a service where texts are converted to voice messages using text-to-speech so that they can be received on a landline telephone. I think the real question is whether a rotary phone can still be expected to work on the modern phone network, unless there are buttons in the ringer rather than a rotating piece...DouglasReynholm wrote: ↑Wed Oct 30, 2019 12:32 pmOr.. or.. just a thought.. that phone can't receive texts..

Juan. This meme has been a catastrophe. You haven't let me down—you've let yourself down, and everyone else on the forum. Oh and me—you've let me down as well.
