5th July, 2025: the Secret Service.
I’ve woken up with several things, today.
Right now?
I’ve a mental image of the Swedish Chef, done up as a Borg …
… and the phrase “Resistibonk is flumpty” banging through my head.
Why … ?
If I knew that, I’d be earning a fortune.

Something else I’ve woken up with … ?
Is a mysterious beeping noise.
One that’s been going on since the power cut a couple of days ago, and is coming from a flat over the road.
- What’s beeping?
- Why is it beeping?
- Is the tenant OK?
- Why is it still beeping?
- Has something serious happened?
- Is the tenant really OK?
- How much Italic lettering can I use?
- What on Earth is going on?
I’m sorely tempted to head over and ask …

Just as a final thing … ?
My nephew, Jude, was over, last night.
Yes: fish, chips, chicken nuggets and onion rings were eaten.
After Jude managed to upload some videos.
Feel free to hit the like buttons, folks!

As a final, final thought?
One I know I’ve mentioned a time or two?
Somewhere out there is a games company called Steve Jackson Games: best known for Car Wars, and GURPS.
GURPS, so you know, saw a generic role playing game.
You bought the main rules, and designed whatever background world, adventures and additional rules, as needed.
But you could also get pre-prepared backgrounds, and adventures.
Unfortunately for Steve Jackson Games?
They ended up getting severely raided by the US Secret Service after releasing GURPS Cyberpunk: during what the Service called Operation Sundevil.
The raid?
In delaying the release of GURPS Cyberpunk, the raid did Steve Jackson Games substantial financial damage.
The ensuing court case?
Over a raid on a games company?
Has made the Service look stupid, to this day*.
