If there was ever a competition for the most inept computer gamer on the planet – then get all your money on me. I am beyond useless. My latest gaming disaster involves trying to land a command module onto the moon. When you look up at the moon tonight just remember most of those craters you can see are down to me.
Pressure was on, son looking over my shoulder. Looking good then panic and yet another smoking crater formed.
“Dad I’ve found the perfect job for you. NASA have started crashing space crafts into the surface of planets. Cassini was smashed into Saturn. You would be the perfect remote pilot. You would never fail.”
“Having said that you would probably hit Saturn that hard you would probably knock it out of its orbit”
AGAIN MY SHAME IS COMPLETE

Thank you so much for reading them. I wish I was really talented so that I could do the posts in two languages. I even struggle with English.

Now you know why I play colouring-in games with trinkets, crayons, and fairy folk.

I am wholly inept at race games. I mash buttons. I lean into the curves. I usually forget which car I am. Having said that your son’s dry wit astounds me and made me giggle.

It makes me smile and keeps me grounded. I’m with you on race games. I found only one game I could play and that was an online skiing game. They virtually out the entire World Cup programme. After two years of failure I suddenly found a way of playing and then almost immediately the programmers

Sorry crashed the text now. Was trying to say that they cancelled the only game I ever could play. Typical

But true. Some games refuse to load on my tablet – I think out of fear for the carnage which I might cause.

I’m fairly certain it would be easier in real life. Some of those game controls are just too touchy.

Especially with one hand. Sadly our son with his left hand only still beats me at computer games. No hope for us.

Football quizzes was my last bastion of success. But last night he named all the World Cup winners (and years) perfectly since 1930, while beating me one handed on a wrestling game. Now it’s complete humiliation.
