Tehe, in at 44th on the first attempt (well not counting the couple of trial runs to see how it worked). Enough of that for one night!

It's one of those addictive ones...but I've promised myself I'm NOTgoing back on it. Well, not today, anyway!! :lol:

I've got one that does that. And she also gets inside drawers which are left slightly open, crawls down the back of the drawer, and then when you try to push the drawer shut it meows at you. She also climbs up the chimney and eats coal. Oh yes, and gets up on the top of the wardrobe before you go to bed, and then in the middle of the night jumps down onto your legs as you are sleeping and virtually breaks your legs. In the garden she likes to get into the tree house and dap unsuspecting people who pass under the tree. :lol:

(Sorry, off topic - should be on cat thread...)

I know this isn't really the right thread but the other cat made me think of this.

Thanks LAT :D That has just had me on a plesant half-hour of YouTube piano music that I have enjoyed very much... No doubt links will be appearing on 'another' thread when I get the chance.

That's one way to "pass the time" ;) - bringing us cleverly back on thread.

I enjoyed this a lot. It's "just" a multiple-choice text game, but there are some really nice touches and the decisions feel interesting (and with consequences.) And you get to play a dragon. What's not to like?!

I couldn't get it to do anything. It just says it is loading - and has done for several minutes. :(

I found it a bit hard to imagine being a dragon. Scurra may disagree... :lol:

Not too hard, this one, so it shouldn't take long.
