You can also get the expanding foam post fix, but, I wouldnt trust it really, especially where I live on the side of a valley and when the storms blow in the right direction, whistling down the valley, nowt is safe!

Cannot beat a breaky uppy mode, saves the hand cramps and chipped knuckles knocking ten bells out of a chod of conc with a hammer and chisel.

I have a massive JCB drill with a concrete breaky uppy mode which has got me out of jail free a couple of times replacing rotted fence posts that has been concreted in.

Putting my 2 deckings in.... I've dug enough post holes to last me a life time... I feel sorry for the future poor sod who may want to shift'em... Like most things I do, I tend to go over the top, and as such, I've probably got shares in postcrete! :D

Consult a qualified electrician for compliance with BS 7671 and local building Regs! Avoid areas where future digging is likely. ;)

That depends on where the cable is to run. Minimum depth in a garden in 450mm. Under pavements 600mm.

just make a similar game with a similar world / things / entities, similar scenario, similar gameplay, similar graphics, similar sounds, but all your creations are original and different enough (to not be qualified as a copy), with a different title, (like my 'alien dropout' version is, not like your 'alien dropout' is, Baggey) and you will have 0 problem with copyright infringement...

International Kung-Fu+ Definitely in no way a complete ripoff of IK+ ;D  but a homage 8) - It didn't have the bouncy balls mini game or different backgrounds (ran out of time).

At SB the comp entries were kept simple whereby the bare minimum was a Windows exe or web based, that way most, if not all can access your entry. Mac, Linux or your high end fridge freezers were optional platforms if you wanted to include those.

The source code comp was a great idea but with us lot you need to spell out the rules, nail down what can and can't be done and punish those who don't comply with banishment into the deepest darkest depths of hell :o

The next comp could be something as easy as an "80's retro remakes" comp. Loads to choose from and keeps it simple, just change the name of the game and don't use copyright material.

How about we do a p[beep] up in a brewery... I'd be 10/10 for that! ;) hehehe

I've never been any good for that sort of stuff, I'll admit, so... What we'll do, is, get ideas in, I'll shove up a poll, the most popular one becomes the competition, and then yous can iron the details... That way I can do a shaggy when something is questioned, as in... "Wasnt me"! :P

Oh gawd! don't leave it up to the community, they'll just debate for a zillion years, nothing will get done, no one will agree and tumbleweeds will roll by.

Get ChatGPT to whip up a list of rules for game comps, something you can reuse.

Any-hoot, I'm gonna keep my gob shut now before I start getting funny looks from the dodgy geezers at the back.

Hahaha, so if it all goes boobies up, I can blame Skynet and send the T1000's in...

Perfect!  8) hehehe
