Together with my six year old son, I have just completed "Indiana Jones and the Infernal Machine".

He now walks around in a sweat stained khaki shirt and trousers with a pistol belt, a battered fedora placed jauntily on his head and sporting a bullwhip, which he uses to hook the upstairs bannister rail to climb up to bed.

I frequently have to dodge Olmec heads, poison darts and snake pits around the house and he wants me to swap the Scooby for a US army surplus jeep, frequently using my car remote key fob and exclaiming "well, I'll be damned, it opened".

I don't know what they teach them at school these days.

"Computer games don't affect kids. I mean if Pacman affected us as kids, we'd all run around in a darkened room munching pills and listening to repetitive music."

what! you mean you dont!?

I think there must be a time delay. The kids of today do "run around in a darkened rooms munching pills and listening to repetitive music."

I'll get me coat. It was supposed to be humour. I *knew* I should have called it "youth of today 2" to give people a hint

Well, with a visit from your good self it's halfway there , all we need now is Dave T-S and Mr Cookie, and possibly Rebecca, and it'll be moved faster than a fast thing moving fast (like a Cozzah in a 30 zone )
