SC anniversary this weekend!

Post by R-Tape »

Just a quick note to say that this weekend (roughly) marks 1 year of the SC forum!

If anyone has any fun quizzes/gifs/tunes/whatever for then, then please get your thinking caps on :-)

Yep. Peter's inviting everyone to his house. There will be 100 Spectrums with various games; exotic dancers; free tea/coffee/booze/class A substances; sausage/pineapple on cocktail sticks; and then it's off to London in his fleet of stretch limos with no questions access to the hippest nightclubs.

(A pretty average weekend for Peter).

I forget, is this a bring-your-own-food party or an empty-his-fridge party? How do we normally do this?
Every man should plant a tree, build a house, and write a ZX Spectrum game.

He's already coming. Richard Harris, Oliver Reed and Peter O'Toole have been invited.

I'll bring Twister and the Cheeky Girls.

I'll also see if Stan Ridgway can bring his Castle Grayskull fortress and some Texan bars.

Apparently Lenny Bennet's son, Benny, has some of his dads Razzle mags that he's going to bring as well :D

Remember to bring your own joystick, there may not be enough to go around.

Heh. I remember reading that Peter O'Toole once went out for the night, presumably starting at the Coach & Horses in Soho, and woke up in Corsica*.

Cool, we're doing a 1980's menu too?! I'll bring the Black Tower.

*I hope I remembered that right; it would be a very disappointing anecdote if he actually started the night in Corsica...

I still do like prawn cocktail. I love it, actually.

And I am not ashamed to say that.

By the way... which Spectrum game Peter O'toole would choose to play? (Because we´ll play Spectrum games in the party, won't we?)

And Richard Harris or Oliver Reed?

Give him Sqij original and see how far he gets.
Harvey Headbanger might be a great game too.

Enjoy, BASIC fans!
