Paul Hughes, what game was you trying to finish when Colin Stokes (director) came down to the cellars, it was after hometime, most people had gone home and you was working late to finish a game? All i remember is Colin shouting at the top of his voice "I don't give a MONKEYS WANK!!".....followed by a hushed silence.
You were sitting in the first main room (past Gary's office, past the photocopier then turn right into the big room) in the top left corner.
It shit me up and it wasn't even directed at me.

Ahhh. Colin Stokes - I'd LOVE to meet him again. I never forget people like that - I remember it well - I was (as usual) doing all the C64 tape protection *and* Op Thurderbolt when I got a mysterious call from some German hacker that somehow got hold of a pre release copy. I went up to tell Jon and David (Woods and Ward) - next thing I know slimeball (as he was fondly known in dev) is downstairs accusing me of leaking the code - me the person that spent six years protecting all their f***ing software!!! Add to that Rick Palmer, Johhny Meegan and I had been working 24/7 to fix the disaster that was Op Thunderbolt and save them face...
Good old Gazza B stuck up for me and stopped me swinging for him!
Grrrrr.
My bloody boils at the thought of him....

Ah yeah! It all comes back to me now. Sorry if I dragged up an obvious painful memory. But I thought Colin Stokes was usually a nice guy, I got on fine with him.

Grrrrr. My bloody boils at the thought of him.... I'd forgotten all about that. My favourite Colin Stokes moment was being apprehended by him in the Midland Plaza gym when I'd popped into for a shower after 2 days in the office. And being told off for my lack of dedication. Fucking hilarious in hindsight. |

Talentless dwarf.

...but he had a great talent for doing thousands of sit ups (or so he told absolutely everyone in earshot) - funny thing was he never actually did *anything* at the Midland gym, other than sweat profusely.
Actually, no, I agree with Simon. What a gland.
