Please someone go for a drive round eastbourne and look out for binbagskirtboy and post some pictures (before giving him a lift obviously).

People assume that [MENTION=28453]TomandJerry[/MENTION] is male but I'm fairly sure the truth is that they lack a KEY male component...

This is like one of those old Infocom text adventure games, where you type instructions, and it responds with a description of the situation.

Examine wallet
Wear trousers
Go west

Seven pages and no one's thought to ask, given the lack of trousers, where [MENTION=28453]TomandJerry[/MENTION] keeps their phone

Which would make the Big Hilda scenario even more fascinating.

Ah, Eastbourne Dave. Or Big Gay Dave, as he's known. Splendid chap, we work together. Hang on in there [MENTION=28453]TomandJerry[/MENTION], he cooks a mean roast. There may be others there, but they'll be in harnesses in the cellar. All consensual, mind. Live and let live.

See post 65#. The curtains are a good idea, though!

I don t want to sound sensible but does your phone not have location settings? If so turn them on find out where you are and order a taxi. When it arrives leg it in your boxers and pay by card or cash when you get home.

If I can't find an answer on Stack Overflow, it doesn't exist. Manuals are just spam!

Although when I had to play a few text adventures recently to record some footage for a couple of films, I did read some walkthroughs as I was rubbish at these games back in the day. There is an interesting film about these games called Getlamp. All of the interviews are here

https://archive.org/details/getlamp-interviews

and I think the whole film is here



Never really my cup of tea but someone must have liked them.
