Exciting purchases and deliveries

[CandyDarling]

At least now you can paint your teeth

Be careful if you do that, as this can happen:

My polling carde arrived to-day.

I'm voting for Space Hitler - he'll sort out the potholes and blue language in the locale of Wolverhamptaneous.

Mekaneck and his green motorbike arrived today, to be added to the growing tower of He-Man vehicles in boxes. Still no sign of the four N64 controllers for the Switch that I purchased in a mad rush last Friday before they went out of stock again.

[blombluss]

Cool beans, but in other photos, he's got a neck like Jack Charlton!

[dng]

this isn't a purchase or even technically a delivery but my brother moved house on friday and gave me several big boxes of things he didn't want, couldn't be bothered to move. so now i have three million cds, maybe 50 LPs, and an n64 for some reason

[dng]

the big boxes of cds contain an almost infinite amount of 90s dance/etronic/whatever stuff, and also so far two cds of amazing radiophonic workshop doctor who stuff

[dng]

lovely old doctor who audio weirdness

[dng]

i should probably buy a cd player for my bedroom so i can hide in there and never leave again

[dng]

oh no also there's some of the most pointlessly early 2000s media invention of all: the dvd single

[dng]

basement jaxx - wheres your head at

[dng]

which is fitting because they're the most pointlessly pointless early 2000s artists of all

[blombluss]

Ooh! Exce!

[blombluss]

Any games with the N64, Davuss?

[dng]

mairo, zelda, mairo kart etc

[dng]

but also a lovely black carry case bag with the n64 logo stitched on the front

[dng]

i might set it up if tvs still have rf sockets in the back these days i assume they do because how else would the tv work?

[dng]

i have't looked at the back of the tv in 17 years

[vom]

tvs are all front now

[blombluss]

N64's have composite and S-video outputs, don't they? I dunno which one delivers the best quality picher though.

[blombluss]

Gas bill came to-day. That's sure to be a reasonable amount!!!

[blombluss]

A hice four doors up has decided to set their gardon on fire (a Protestant ceremony, perhaps? ), so we've just received a huge parcel of smerk and burny smell.

[Bruce Sato]

The N64 controllers showed up yesterday but I wasn't in to answer the door, because I didn't know they were coming. Today I was in, but they never showed up because 'the address is incomplete'. Nintendo's website seems to lop off the flat number, and refuses to be corrected (not that it would help at this point), so that's why - although I would have thought that enough of the address was there to get it delivered.
Anyway. I spent the afternoon in the office in various phases of fat rage, then when I got back I phoned DPD, not expecting much joy since I'm the recipient rather than the sender. But no, they've added the flat number to the parcel, and they've also now got my contact details, and all of this is showing up on the tracking info on their website. So hopefully tomorrow will bring joy, and N64 controllers.

[vom]

joy and also pads

[endar]

And no cons

[Bruce Sato]

They have arrived, and all is well. I sense Goldeneye on the horizon.

[dng]

mairo, zelda, mairo kart etc

Amazingly the saves on these still work

[dng]

Like in science fiction films where alien tech still has power seventeen trillion years later

[dng]

Playing perfect dark for ten minutes has made me feel seasick

[blombluss]

Perfect barf

[blombluss]

Ten HP7 batteries. You youngsters might know them better as AA-sized batteries, but I refuse to yield to such vile Marxist wokery!!!

[dng]

i should probably buy a cd player for my bedroom so i can hide in there and never leave again

A week after this I went to the shops and in John Lewis they had a nice looking Panasonic CD player/hi fi thing for £70 and I thought "I might buy that next time I come to the shops" and then today was the next time I went to the shops and now it costs £110

[dng]

So I didn't buy it

[blombluss]

Yup, fuck that for a game of soldiers.
