Since the trick-or-treaters seem to have finished now, I can't advance on the best joke from earlier tonight…

Q: why do witches ride on brooms?

A: because hoovers don't have a long enough cable.

Yes, the rest were worse…!

^ eek. That reminds me of this computer game I played when I was a kid called Phantasmagoria. Was one of those FMV horror adventure games by Sierra. Really cool game imho, but had plenty of gross bits.

Yep, it was a game, but the origins go back a little further...

I really don't know how I remember some of this crap from pre-internet teen stuff 30-odd years ago, and yet still forget to set my alarm for the morning.

Which reminds me, 6 am wake up

I do a 4 day week, so every other Saturday is OK Long days, but less of 'em.

Once a month I can take one day off and have a 6 day break if I time it right. 12 holiday days gets me a lot of time off. It's well worth it

Loved that game.

Was there not an interactive version where your decsions at different points decided how the game flowed (or not being an early version of that genre)?

...

Reminds me of when I asked my mum how to make treacle tart ....

... she told me I just needed to add lemon to it.
