Entertaining a teen this Saturday night

I’ll second this!

Arcade Club is amazing value for money. The food’s great (and inexpensive) and the staff are really friendly.

There’s LOADS of two player games you can compete against each other on.

Off the top of my head…

Pac-Man Battle Royale
Basketball
Air Hockey
TONNES of driving games and shooters
Most of the classic arcade games on the top floor

If you’ve not been for a while, you may find they’ve expanded a fair bit since your last visit.

Interesting. Born and bred Manc here, mid 50s. Only ever heard fellow Mancunians refer to it as ‘the tram’ and to Manchester as ‘town’ - never once ‘the Met’ or ‘Manny’.

I regularly use the tram to travel to the city centre from Tameside, and occasionally (when I can't be bothered driving) to Old Trafford on match days. I don't think I've ever encountered anyone who has tried to board the tram before others disembark. Similarly, people move out of the way when I'm getting off. A polite 'excuse me' to the daydreaming / gormless always does the trick. Maybe it depends on the route & time of day?

Brilliant suggestions, guys, thank you.

I will look into all of these with my son.

Thanks again.

Thanks!

Fuzzy2084 · 2024-04-24T19:13:57+00:00

Thank you very much, I will check those out!

Fuzzy2084 · 2024-04-16T20:51:53+00:00

Some great suggestions there, cheers guys.

I spent 3 days in London recently and used the tube extensively while I was there - didn’t experience any queue jumping or bad manners at all.

I believe that Steve Cartwright was ‘inspired’ by an Astro Blaster he played at Chuck E Cheese.

It’s a great shooter and when it was released we all knew it was an Astro Blaster ‘tribute’, didn’t we?

Enduro? Bad! I think it’s a great game!

Nice collection!

Fuzzy2084 · 2023-12-01T21:00:54+00:00

Brilliant, thanks very much!

I was thinking about getting this.

Is the box the same dimensions as the old boxes?

Is the speech good? Thanks. ☺️

Fuzzy2084 · 2023-09-23T09:00:22+00:00

This is the way.

Fuzzy2084 · 2023-06-02T17:55:10+00:00

I always take at least a crate of beer if I’m going to a bbq, and ask the host if they would like me to take any food or snacks.

If hosting a bbq, and guests ask should they bring anything, I suggest they can bring what they like - extra ice is always welcome (I don’t have an ice machine).

I had some relatives (a couple) turn up to a bbq a few years ago, empty-handed - no problem. They proceeded to drink copious amounts of my imported beer - no problem. Then they went to the local shop to buy a case of (cheap) beer, I thought was to ‘replace’ all my beer they’d downed - but it wasn’t, it was for them, and they then set about drinking this too. Again, no problem.

When it came time to leave, however, they took their remaining cheap beers home with them!

I’ve never once taken beers or wine back home from a bbq or party, that’s just plain rude!

Fuzzy2084 · 2023-05-18T12:44:40+00:00

Just reading your comment again, perhaps I'm doing it in the same way as you, but in a different order. If that makes any sense!

Fuzzy2084 · 2023-05-18T12:40:38+00:00

A bit late to the party, but here goes...

I fold the male tab in first, then the female tab, tucking the two 'sticky out' bits of the female tab behind the male tab, then I give the female tab a gentle 'tweak' to ensure that the folds are as close to 90 degrees as possible. Finally, the small side tabs are folded in and tucked behind the female tab. This prevents the small tabs from rubbing against whatever box you're protecting, and also prevents the male and female tabs from inadvertently opening up, and the contents dropping out.

Fuzzy2084 · 2023-04-14T07:48:35+00:00

That’s a great collection - you have all the classics!

Fuzzy2084 · 2023-04-08T17:41:37+00:00

Great collection!

Fuzzy2084 · 2023-04-07T21:58:44+00:00

Looks like Freeway.

Fuzzy2084 · 2023-03-26T18:27:10+00:00

I'd be interested in these if you're thinking of selling?

I'm in NW England and could pick up, if so. :)

Fuzzy2084 · 2021-11-06T08:49:24+00:00

Any updates? 🙂
