I keep old posts on the site because I often enjoy reading old content on other people's sites. It can be interesting to see how views have changed over time: for example, how my strident teenage views have, to put it mildly, mellowed.
I'm not a believer in brushing the past under the carpet. I've written some offensive rubbish on here in the past: deleting it and pretending it never happened doesn't change that. I hope that stumbling across something that's 16 years old won't offend anyone anew, because I hope that people can understand that what I thought and felt and wrote about then is probably very different to what I think and feel and write about now. It's a relic of an (albeit recent) bygone era.
So, given the age of this post, please bear in mind:
- My views may well have changed in the last 16 years. I have written some very silly things over the years, many of which I find cringeworthy today.
- This post might use words or language in ways which I would now consider inappropriate, offensive, embarrassing, or all three.
- Factual information might be outdated.
- Links might be broken, and embedded material might not appear properly.
Okay. Consider yourself duly warned. Read on...
I bought this today in the January sales (silly name, when most of the good stuff is gone by January, but never mind) and I really rather like it. It’s a lot of fun. Could this be an important epiphany for me? Could it be signalling a shift from Guardian-reading Liberal Wet to… erm… Geeky Train-Spotting Guardian-reading Liberal Wet? I don’t know for sure, but I don’t think so.
