Today I'm playing songs from the year Horace Goes Skiing was released for the ZX Spectrum.
For me, this is one of the greatest computer games ever made.
Simple and fun. I spent hours playing this as a kid. And thanks to the brilliance of the internet, and some hardcore Spectrum fans out there, you can play it on-line right now.

10 Rules for Being Human...
You will receive a body. You may like it or hate it, but it's yours to keep for the entire period.
You will learn lessons. You are enrolled in a full-time informal school called, "life."
There are no mistakes, only lessons. Growth is a process of trial, error, and experimentation. The "failed" experiments are as much a part of the process as the experiments that ultimately "work."
Lessons are repeated until they are learned. A lesson will be presented to you in various forms until you have learned it. When you have learned it, you can go on to the next lesson.
Learning lessons does not end. There's no part of life that doesn't contain its lessons. If you're alive, that means there are still lessons to be learned.
"There" is no better a place than "here." When your "there" has become a "here", you will simply obtain another "there" that will again look better than "here."
Other people are merely mirrors of you. You cannot love or hate something about another person unless it reflects to you something you love or hate about yourself.
What you make of your life is up to you. You have all the tools and resources you need. What you do with them is up to you. The choice is yours.
Your answers lie within you. The answers to life's questions lie within you. All you need to do is look, listen, and trust.
You will forget all this.
Meetings will never be the same again...
Just have them on this!

The Mexican National Anthem - Words
It's Scotland V Mexico today in the 1130 Face Off Rous Cup.
Of course I'll be playing the National Anthems from both nations, and here are the words so you can sing a long with the Mexican National Anthem....
Mexicans, at the cry of war,
prepare the steel and the steed,
and may the earth shake at its core
to the resounding roar of the cannon.
Gird, oh country, your brow with olive
the divine archangel of peace,
for your eternal destiny was written
in the heavens by the hand of God.
But if some strange enemy should dare
to profane your ground with his step,
think, oh beloved country, that heaven
has given you a soldier in every son.
War, war without truce to any who dare
to tarnish the country's coat-of-arms!
War, war! Take the national pennants
and soak them in waves of blood.
War, war! In the mountain, in the valley,
the cannons thunder in horrid unison
and the resonant echoes
cry out Union, Liberty!
Oh country, 'ere your children
defenseless bend their neck to the yoke,
May your fields be watered with blood,
may they trod upon blood.
And may your temples, palaces and towers
collapse with horrid clamor,
and their ruins live on to say:
This land belonged to a thousand heroes.
Oh, country, country, your children swear
to breathe their last in your honor,
if the trumpet with warlike accent
should call them to fight with courage.
For you the olive branches!
A reminder for them of glory!
A laurel of victory for you!
For them a tomb with honor!
Mexicans, at the cry of war,
prepare the steel and the steed,
and may the earth shake at its core
to the resounding roar of the cannon.

Love movies?
Find out which films have extra scenes during or after the end credits.
So if folk in front of you stand up and start leaving you can yell "Sit down you idiot, there's a funny out-take bit in a minute!!!".
This will make you look cool and them feel like prats.
Here's the list.
