Just reading the thread at work at the moment, so I will elaborate when I get in.

I need to check that the deadline is Sunday though...

Deadline is 9.30pm on Saturday.

To be honest, I think those of us that got questioned so far only got questioned because Parksey was around last night and was absolutely grilling anyone online. :lol:

No, the wrestlers were all based on me, my friends, and people that went to our school. We spent dozens of hours beating up all the pricks we detested.

What school year were you in when you did all this?

My final year (13)!

And what age were you at that time?

Right, that's me home. Gonna have a proper look through the thread now, I have a feeling you are all lying.

Dark Ritual wrote:Jay Mysterio: What game were you playing underwater? Where was this body of water, and did the Game Boy work after?

I was playing Super Mario Land 2 8-)

It was in Majorca, a hotel pool.

The Game Boy was fine afterwards as I used an ingenious underwater apparatus (sandwich bags) :lol:

I am online only briefly at the moment, so you will all be spared from the inquisition of Parksey QC.

Tonight though... you have been warned.

As for Jay, Nintendo hardware is always remarkably robust. I remember people writing into NGC and saying they were amazed their console had survived the washing machine/a long drop/a nuclear attack by the Chinese.

Jay, do you still have this console? Does it still work? I'd like to see it working. NOW.

Even if it is still in the sandwich bags (these can, ironically, double up for evidence bags when presented to the court).

How old were you when you did this?

EDIT - Oh, and which year was this?

If you don't answer in five minutes, I will have to find you guilty I'm afraid. What of, who knows, but you stink of it, sir.

I rest my case.

I don't have the Game Boy as truth be told it wasn't mine :oops:

I was a SEGA kid and my mate was Nintendo, we used to do big swaps over the summer holidays (Megadrive for SNES, Game Gear for Game Boy) and it was his GB I was using. Obviously I never told him about it :lol:

I was 10 or 11 so it would've been 93/94?

So the console was still fairly pricey then, I would imagine.

So you borrowed your friend's Game Boy, took it on holiday, then thought you would try and play it in the swimming pool? And your 10 year old self was comfortable with having this £100 piece of tech under the water? Were you prepared to pay your mate back if it went wrong? And what with?

YOUR POCKET MONEY?

What sort of crazy, liberal, hippie family did you grow up in, son?

*Imagine me throwing a book at this statement, and saying it in a Southern US accent*

*Also imagine I am wearing nice trousers, and am morally outraged*

I literally never thought about the cost of it if I'm honest and I only had it submerged for about 20 seconds if that, I mainly just wanted to sit on the pool steps and play it.

I was more scared my Mum would catch me doing it than it actually breaking :fp:

And to answer Frank from earlier on, rather than look suspicious.:

I was quite a sickly child, and in 1998 I was but a child of 10. The 3D graphics were so utterly mind-blowing, my mind was, ironically, blown, and it caused me to have some kind of fit or seizure and down to the floor I went. Had it not been for the quick thinking of someone with his son nearby, that could have been the end for your dear friend, Parksey. Luckily, he used the boost to get through, and the crisis was averted.

And now I am off out for the evening, so you will be spared more of my piercing questions.

You should've done a barrel roll

17, as I got the game for Christmas shortly after its release, and as you of all people will know, my birthday isn't until August.

Sorry, haven't been paying attention since I finally got my Vita. No cables to trip over.

How could you break your toe on a cable?

Edit: Also major LOL at Call and Answer's post :lol:

You'll be surprised. A classmate of mine broke a bone in her foot tripping over a chair.

Tonight wasn't quite the hotbed of wild interrogations and accusations I had anticipated. I take it every one is kind of set on who is telling the truth and who is lying? I've got my lists pretty much made.

Or I've been out all evening...

If Dark Ritual is listening, who were you in FM then? Which team and position did you play for? Which year was it?

Parksey wrote:Or I've been out all evening...

I was 15 at the time and I was in FM2007. It was during the few months I spent as an academy player for Birmingham City as a striker.

Un-probed. 8-)

Think I'd better send my answers soonish... not sure how much I'll be around tomorrow (read: today) due sorting stuff out having moved house today.

Not going to give me a name? I wont find out where you live and then send you odd items from Amazon every few weeks.

Promise.
