A site about games and game paraphernalia and how nothing's as good as we remember it, probably because we used to inhabit a FANTASY WORLD.

It came with the template. Maybe in 2014 we'll jump on board the Twitter train and put that in here. Or a radio. That'd be nice.
Pardon?
Just exactly how posh can anywhere offering 'all-you-can-eat' be?
I'd wager anywhere with food under hotlamps or that doesn't require a basic level of gentlemanly attire and etiquette is little better than a soup kitchen and should thus be avoided as one would a leper, street urchin or PS3 owner.
I suspect this place doesn't even meet 'semi' posh standards, whatever they may be.
@Badben; You sir, are a genius.
@GigerPunk; Perhaps I was thinking of your doppelganger from across the pond.
(Idiot Toys doesn't count. Never counted)
It was semi-posh because they actually cook the food in front of you! And if you want some beef, they'll cut off a few slices for you as well! Plus it had SEGA VISION and that makes all the difference.

The machine was only 50p a go. Next time, I'll go loaded with change :(
For the past few months, I could swear I was the blessed one. My life, work, relationship... Even the Sun seemed pleased to shine upon my craggy face.
Then, - like the bricks of my 2 year old son's over-ambitious building project - it all comes tumbling down. Right at the point where my happiness and contentment is nearing critical mass, I decide to read a bit of UK:R. The more I read, the more my faith in humanity becomes eroded bit by bit. I always picture in my mind that I'm in Cantina, [Mos Eisley on the planet Tatooine,] when reading the comments posted. But even in a bar frequented by the scum and villainy of the galaxy, there was hope.
A few weeks ago whilst out shopping with the missus, she commented on how I seemed distant and distracted. I told her I was fine, that I was just pondering some work related stuff. In actuality, I was scrutinising the packaging of an Easter egg and working up the courage to take a photo of the swirl pattern therein.
Someone once said that UK:R was the fleck on the arse-end of cyberspace. If that is so, then I sincerely hope it is not wiped into oblivion. Like the ancient Chinese philosophy of Yin and Yang, perhaps UK:R brings balance to the universe. Or maybe it is what it is; a place of jaded, cynical and twisted views on gaming culture. Long may it continue.
"And don't it always seem to go, that you don't know what you've got 'til it's gone?"
I believe the French would term your retrogressive spiural apprehension 'L'esprit d'escalier', or 'the spirit of the stairway'. I suggest you return to your stairway and immortalise that spiral anonymous. Do it for your own peace of mind, do it for posterity, do it for mankind, Anonymous. We must all attend to what is good and just in this world, and if we chance upon a spiral, a static maelstrom before our eyes, we must tame it, and submitit to UK:R. This is who we are, what we live for. There is no cosmos, only spirals.
Go, Anonymous....go now and do this pious bidding, for though your quest is mediated via mere mortals, it has been ordained by the higher power, the master and overlord...lord Zorg.
Bless us, Lord Zorg. We are but lambs. Nourish us and we shall bring forth spirals.
I love thee oh Lord. I truly love thee.
