My community has a very nice amenity center that has a restaurant, bar, pools, gym, etc and yes I am the old lady that is in the “Children’s Arcade” playing the very decent pinball game they have….only problem is summer is upon us and the quiet school time will be gone for a couple of months.

Thanks for your reply! I’ll try to include it into my itinerary.

Yes, there is a good place in London. It’s called Funland and it’s £10 for an hour of pinball. They have a bunch of really good Stern games.

It brought fond memories of me playing as a kid with my dad. I’ve now read some of your other posts and I’m glad that chance guided me here.

Regarding your comment about recommended arcades, do you know of a good place in London? I’m visiting this year and now I’m thinking it could be a good activity to do. Suggested arcades on Scotland are also welcomed! Thanks.

Many people nowadays are increasingly addicted to social media, browsing, videogames etc. Even some of the most disciplined people admit they cannot control themselves in this regard.

You code and so spend a lot of time at a computer. Maybe I’m wrong but you don’t seem to have had this issue however.

Is this an issue for you or has it ever been? Ever found your views or behavior changing in good or bad ways because of this? What do you do or how do you think about these things to avoid this problem?

Will definitely give tea dates a try. Thanks for responding!

I’ll do repairs and maintenance myself. So far I’ve only had to do fairly minor things, but I’m going to rebuild the flippers on NGG when the parts come in.

And I don’t know about ball control. Depends on the player’s style, there are many excellent on-the-fly shooters who only slow things down once in a while.
