Woke up this morning and found I was 40. The only benefit so far is that I treated myself to a shiny new iPod touch as I seem to be of an age where people don't buy you presents anymore and I really needed a new MP3 player.

Hey! You're catching up!

Summer Horror Day came to mind a few weeks ago when I caught the 1978 movie The Alien Factor on late night cable (I'd never seen it before).

1981 and I was programming the ZX-81. Yeeshh.

The Alien Factor - one of Don Dohler's cheapo movies. Check out "The Fiend" as well...

What have you been up to recently? Still in Camberley?

I'll look out for The Fiend. Thanks for the tip.

I'm not many people.

Yes, still marooned in Camberley.

I don't do Facebook. I ought to check it out (I just did - your link is broken). But when I logged into LJ a few minutes ago, after months of absence, it looked like a ghost town (queue The Specials), tumbleweed blowing through and all. So perhaps I'll have to move if I want to keep up on what people I once knew do with themselves these days.

Look up Don Dohler on IMDB. He made a few movies.

People seem to have deserted LJ in recent years - the url should just be facebook.com/martin.nike

I'm trying to watch some Eurotrash at the moment, but don't seem to have much time for it!
