PJ wearing

Panda PajamasThis is a start of a rant.  I have now lived in Glasgow for 2 years before  that I lived in the Paisley/Renfrew area.  For the past 2 year I have seen folk walking about outside with there PJ's on, in shops, walking dogs, pushing prams.  These folk are mostly woman/girls and regardless of weather conditions.  Now I have never seen this before and Paisley/Renfrew is not exactly miles away from Glasgow. 

The only way i can see a good excuse for being outside in your PJ's is a house fire, gas leak or a serious injury to life.  There is no defense for walking the streets in your nightwear.  If I have to pop to the shop its on with the jeans and a jacket, takes 2 seconds.

All I can say is what the hell is wrong with these people and is this a common thing in Glasgow!

Chaos: The Battle of Wizards

chaosThis game was one of my favorite Spectrum games.  For those not familure with this game, basically its a battle to the death with wizards in a turn based game.  There's a magic phase where you can cast spells from your list with all other wizards also casting their spells.  This is then followed by a movements/attacking turn.  Myself and my brother would battle it out as kids along with 6 other CPU controlled wizards, sometimes we would team up before double crossing.  Or being sneaking and building a wall then casting a raging fire and watching it consume the map (if you can call it that!).  Anyway the game turned out there would always be a proper fight at the end of the game.

I found a link to play this online, brung back some good memory's of the simple but classic game.

Play Chaos: The Battle of Wizards

Found this link to Chaos Reborn which is an up to date remake.
