I posted in the newbie forum the other day as I feel like a newbie: https://www.pinballinfo.com/community/threads/new-members-say-hello-right-here.1271/post-351466
This house was using up all my time, I built the log cabin moved the pin's in and then got caught up in the renovations, worked on the house until all the reserves dried up. Then a baby came... The most time consuming thing I have ever got involved in.
The pins all need some TLC but I am going to start solving that this evening and get out into the cabin after the kid is asleep.
The hydraulic lift got caught at the wrong end of the property in the garage with an old EM machine (which left last year). I don't really need it so should get around to selling it on.

Welcome back Geoff
Dude! Welcome back! Will be great to see you again ... in a few years when this is all over 
Yeah Geoff 
Guess neither of us are doing the Nephilim shows at the start of Sept.

Had a couple of messages from Dan last month. If I remember rightly he put a brief appearance at my meet last year but I think his pin mojo is long gone.
Whatever happened to Dan he was a top chap
Yeah. Disappointed about that as they skipped last winter Solstice too. No gigs for a while..
Dan was over at mine a few years ago, as the stress from the kid was taking over. I hope he is ok and find the mojo again, if not just comes for the banter
didn't he get a bit drunk and go on the offensive towards a new member who was flashing the cash a bit strongly back then? There was also a divorce and kids involved. Was sad to witness it all on here. Hope he's ok though. I also miss his avatar.
Lol that was Neil
Go to a Nephilim gig wearing a Hawaiian shirt, as I did last year. You get some ‘interesting’ reactions.Yeah Geoff
Probably easier to get flour out of an Hawaiian shirt though.
I suspect that might be too obscure a reference for anyone in a different age bracket along with knowing the hardship of walking ****ed down stairs in a nightclub wearing spurs and realising that the Slimelight can solve problems with ****/vomit/other things simply through the use of cat litter.

Which gig was that last year, I am going to stab at Stylus? I kept expecting a last minute London gig but nothing happened.
Given that one guy wears a sooty puppet and a lot of guys have no shirts on at all, I would think they would get the humour from a Hawaiian shirt. There was a guy in a regular suit the other year, looked like an accountant.
I made the mistake of wearing vintage victorian clothes to the slimelight the first time I went and it was tough to get the powders out of them. Or the smell.

Yeah nice to see you back Geoff 
Thought I spotted your red admin sign on top right when I was on forum the other day 
Thought I spotted your red admin sign on top right when I was on forum the other day Yeah it was Stylus. Great gig. I work at Leeds University and the gig was the same day as the Staff Festival so I got ****ed ath the festival, met my mate and straight into the gig.
To be fair 99% of people found it funny but there were one or two ‘professional‘ goths giving me a disgusted look.
The Hawaiian shirt and the Sisters Of Mercy tattoo on my arm probably broke their mind.
I can imagine the ones you are talking about, I wonder if they are the same at every gig?
Most of the professional Goths from the 80's and 90's have been corrupted by life; be it a job, mortgage or kids. I was a bit late to the scene but until I took a swan dive off facebook, I had contacts who I had looked up to from afar, who made money from the scene and live the life. But when you see them in normal everyday facebook situations, it shows that these gig 'professional' are taking it too seriously. If you have never tried to drunkenly pass through to the other side on a space hopper, or drunkenly summon Cthulhu at a birthday party with a haggis then you are nobody. God I miss those days.

Last night I fixed a small but significant problem on TAF which was stopping it going into multiball and ruining the game.
I then got to play 70 minutes of undisturbed pinball. I am crap. But what a rush.

You put more than one ball in ?

We have all been there, right?
IJ somehow had seven balls in it after a party a few years back, not sure where someone found a spare ball or who decided to add it.
But this was a loose wire on a micro switch.

Great to see you are getting stuck in fixing stuff Geoff.
