Feeling nostalgic tonight. Rediscovered my U.Genie homepage - as well as my MyGenie homepage - OK not much there in either case - but it brings back memories.

A few clicks later led me to Arkham - as well as a new set of pages by Nigel called Lazy Llama - with a gallery of pictures galore that also brought memories flooding back! Ah - those were the days …
