Zippy should have been a talkshow host. I would have watched that.

We got Basil Brush and Gordon the gopher instead
...or if you're of a similar age to me, Pinky and Perky
Living in Orkney with over 5,500 years of human history...you get quite used to tripping over Neolithic or iron/bronze age settlements, Pictish burial mounds, standing stones, stone henges or Viking boat burials as you wander around...as well as several migratory herds of archaeologists during the summer...Anyway, my new neighbour from down the road when clearing rocks out of her garden found a dinner plate sized flat rock with what she thought were Norse runes scratched on it, so she popped over yesterday to ask if she should be contacting someone to let them know...
I told her to chuck it over the fence into old Hamish's field like the rest of us do or just set it up as the centre piece of a rockery or something... unless she really wanted that annoying idiot Baldric and the rest of the Time Team to turn up and dig holes in her front lawn for the next 10 years

Argh, childhood trauma unlocked. We had the Pinky and Perky album.
Ahhh. Play Away I do remember in the 70s when I was a wean!Floella...nay...Baroness Benjamin used to be on Play School and Play Away as a presenter (the ones with Zippy and George)...even though I was well into adulthood by the time those aired on TV. I think my eldest daughter used to watch them at the time
So the worm managed to spawn next to the mission building somehow, clipping inside it with its melee attacks...

Those occasional stores of someone digging up a literal pot of gold or finding some collection of ancient jewelry are sort of mind blowing though.Living in Orkney with over 5,500 years of human history...you get quite used to tripping over Neolithic or iron/bronze age settlements, Pictish burial mounds, standing stones, stone henges or Viking boat burials as you wander around...as well as several migratory herds of archaeologists during the summer...Anyway, my new neighbour from down the road when clearing rocks out of her garden found a dinner plate sized flat rock with what she thought were Norse runes scratched on it, so she popped over yesterday to ask if she should be contacting someone to let them know...

The sheer temerity of some of those people to mock the OP's frustration. They're so deep in the hole they can't possibly contemplate the notion someone might be legitimately upset after years and years of failures.Sad / happy thread
4.2 - Hammerhead Gone. 48 Million Gone. Sanity... Barely Intact. - Star Citizen Spectrum
They took my Hammerhead. Just like that. I lost something like 48 million aUEC. That’s a lot of money for someone who doesn’t play all day. It’s a lot of grinding. As always, all my ship upgrades...robertsspaceindustries.com
The Viking boat burials aside...every other burial mound, henge or standing stone is 5,500 - 3,500 year old Neolithic up here and way before humans discovered how to do stuff with metal. The majority of all the underground metal on the islands is from WW1 or WW2... since Orkney was the base for the British grand fleet during both wars, mostly on Mainland around the anchorage at Scapa Flow...but we had anti-submarine and fighter airfields all over the outer islands during WW2.
Quite a few plate sized runic stones lying about though...in most of the old dry stone built farm buildings like my old byre which was originally built in the 17th century as a crofthouse, there are a couple of stones scratched with runic symbols built into the walls, it's the same all over the island. The symbols aren't Norse...or not a version of Norse runic writing that's recognised anyway.
I suspect for whatever ancient civilization scratched the symbols onto the flat stones, they might have been like the tabloid newspapers or Post-it notes of the day and perhaps just discarded once they had been read. Unfortunately, the scratchings are so ancient and the stones invariably found outside of any archaeological context in the local landscape, modern archaeology hasn't managed to decipher their meaning yet... like most of the prehistoric symbology they find during their digs..."It's ritual!"... or it's "...obviously left as a votive offering to the gods!.." Should more correctly be interpreted as. "We have no f'ing idea what it is or why it's here!"
The stones might even be Neolithic or Pictish, but because historians and archaeologists (perhaps wrongly) assume neither of those civilisations had any form of written language, or rather, there hasn't been a 'Rosetta stone' found to inform them otherwise, nobody has worked that out yet either.

I am sorry to hear that.
Caller to Mike's show says Tony Z is still around https://www.twitch.tv/saltemike/clip/EntertainingDignifiedHedgehogThunBeast-HN4NtsRt1eOtiHLx - apparently he (the caller) was talking to Benoit at a Bar Citizen in Montreal recently. So I guess Soul Singer is still progressing

If Tony is Emeritus now I kinda feel Chris should get an academic title too.
Dean of Detritus?
Vice-Chancellor of Verisimilitude?

Demigod will suffice, maybe.
