Tickled_Pink's Blog > Time for the Grand National to take a running jump.

Posted 15 April 2012

Two horses died yesterday at the Aintree Grand National. It's always been pretty dangerous. Some of the fences are ridiculously high ... so high in fact that the horses don't actually jump them but go through them. Then you have fences like the infamous Beecher's Brook, which have a drop at the other side that the horses don't...


Tickled_Pink's Blog > So - if the Atari was so great, why was it ignored by the UK development industry?

Some AAers may remember my rants back in the summer about the scummy UK tabloid, the News of the World, and how they conspired to give an evil, scheming, manipulative, lying, sex pest of a female the means by which to ruin my life 12 years ago.
