had a very similar problem when i was setting up my friends lan, the vista laptop just wouldn't find the network that an xp machine was already running on. Fixed it by stoping a file loading at startup in msconfig, The file was called LANMON.EXE or something similar and was preinstalled on a sony laptop, you know it when you see it (forgotten the exact name but it was the only file beginning with lan***.exe). A longshot but might be worth a try

that near the bridge and it looks like a desart inside?


The big arcade in scarborough used to be called Olympia but they changed it to a tacky jungle themed arcade called "Fantasy Forest". Its gone through a lot of owners and changes over the last 20 years. Other bizarre ideas it had were bumper cars you weren't allowed to bump in, you all had to drive in an anitclockwise direction. Back in the day when i used to go there was a lot of video games I remember the towns only R-Type machine been in there, these days its just row after row of 5p/£5 clones. Last few times I have been in were to go bowling.

that place was small but had some absolute classics in the 80s..the forum used to be Joyland...A massive arcade that we used to walk through as a short cut..some good machines in the olden days



Was that the little arcade opposite the tall Ebor flats (the flats overlooking the harbour)? It was a bit of the beaten track but I remember it been quite a nice little arcade. So many memories in this thread :)

I have lots of memories of Joyland (forum i believe its called these days) was a good arcade but also a handy shortcut. Anyone who remembers the place in the early 80's will remember that the middle part used to have one of them air gun games where you shoot the targets and it squirts water at you, the carpet in the centre always used to be sopping wet, no wonder there was never many machines in the middle back then. They also used to close the middle and bottom (seafront side) off in the winter to cut operating costs.

I used to prefer the little arcade next to it on the promenade end, it was called Starburst back then. Have no idea what its called these days, haven't been to Brid in years

Yep was shaking like crazy here in Scarborough, just been on news, was a 4.7 magnitude epicentre in hull.

The magnitude scale is not linear, a 9.5 like the the one that caused the tsunami a few years back is many many times more powerful far more than twice as powerful the numbers suggest. which is scary cos even a 4.7 felt like the world was about to end lol

each whole number on the richtor scale represents a 10 fold increase in amplitude.
