This thunder is pretty full on.
I'm pretty sure I'm going to have a black out any moment now.
So, I'll race the electrons to get this message on persistent magnetic media.
I was thinking about my last post, and I remember another thing from the same era of my life.
My mum used to do the “Darth Vader” when she came home. When I was playing out on the front lawn (with my imaginary friend, “Spider“, (heh, honestly :P)), and mum came home from wherever she'd been, she used to flash the high-beam headlights on the car as she pulled into the driveway.
This was known as doing the “Darth Vader” and I used to run up to the side of the driveway and wail “Mum, do the Darth Vader!“ and squeal with delight when she did.
Ah, those were the days. :)
Love,
John.
