Fact.
Not entirely true. You're implying a 5 minute sleep is better than a 6 hour sleep :mrgreen:

Well, it has been proven that sleeps of just 15 to 30 minutes can be greatly beneficial sometimes.

That's more than true; no matter how little sleep I get at night (which sometimes might be just 3 hours, as I often have to get up at 3 am or so), if I manage to get 15 minutes of nap at work, I have no problems surviving through the day. Otherwise, I'm feeling like a walking agony.

Yep, 15-30 minutes is often very helpful, although naturally don't do it as your 'normal' sleeping pattern.

I get my all the sleep I need in geometry and chemistry, so I can stay up and go to Taco Bell at 2:00 AM

Apparently W7 does not like W8 on my laptop, booting to W7 takes me something like 3 reboots and one checkdisk...

For the rest I'm happy with W8 (long live Classic Shell), only thing it complains about are some missing drivers for my card reader, so when I fix that, move all my remaining files and don't need the programs installed on W7 anymore (still have some university stuff there), I'm going to delete W7 and merge the free space with my W8 partition.

I am waiting for someone to bite my head off for not searching first, but, off the top of your heads, does anyone know of a 32 bit or 64 bit Windows Binary for OpenTTD that is modern enough to run NML based newGRFs like the most recent versions of FIRS, UKRS2 etc, and has Cargodist and a Daylength patch built in (customisable daylength ideally)

Maybe HardGamePack 0.8.167 or SpringPatchPack 1.7.87?

Thanks, I'll try the spring one. Just fancied getting back into OpenTTD now I have more time on my hands :) It's cathartic too, and constructive. Soothing game :)

Some time ago I figured OpenTTD is a game I can play virtually always. No matter how bad my mood might be, how hard the day has been or how much I need to get the aggression out, OpenTTD seems to always be suitable. It doesn't apply to most games.

I used to get that in an office from my own collegues. So, doesn't matter where ye are :P

Off out on the town tonight. Thanks to a shower I no longer smell of brasso and gun oil (re-enactment tomorrow, was preparing everything). So, if my luck is running extremely high, I shall get chatting with a young lady. Maybe. We'll see.

I have the same at least once a week. It never ceases to amaze me how antagonising a tram can be, how hateful people can become for no apparent reason (apart from me obeying rules, laws and timetable rather than doing what ever-complaining pricks find suitable for them). I eventually got used to it. I even collect more colourful abuse people throw at me. It got funny.
