While discussing the paradoxes involved in using Christians as lightning

 G'day Steve,

 >> Suspenders?? What game are you playing? Sounds more like Bedroom Olympiad

 SC> Suspenders being the suspension!  It was good.  Shame you could never

Actually, I knew what you meant. Anyone in here remember Bedroom Olympiad?
Derek, you'd be bound to have a copy around somewhere, wouldn't you mate? ;)

 SC> force the computer off the track!

You're not wrong. They get tough after a while. Real tough in the

 SC> Shame!

[Settlers]

A damn sight harder though. I actually borrowed Sim City about a month ago.
Damn it brought back some memories. It worked witout problem on my 4k too.
