I am always hearing references to Chutney on this forum but I've neaver understood the context.

Can someone please explain and put my mind at rest.

    "While chutney may be good for the body and mind, the Chuntey will devour your whole being, and spit you out bit by bit within an excruciating Planck-time, which, under these circumstances, humourously enough most Speccy users experience in quantities of 3-6 minutes."

    I remember my worst case of Chuntey, me and my friend were loading Action Force or Action Force 2 not sure which one. Strangely enough there was an Action Force figure (Junkyard I think :lol:), on top of my tv he fell over and then all of a sudden the Speccy screen flashes weird colours and the loading stopped at the exact moment he hit the top of the telly. It was almost as if the Action Force figure falling over and tapping the TV made the game stop loading.

    It was very annoying :D

    blimey you remember all that through the mists of time?
    was the figure facing left or right when he fell?

    Right I believe, being my right.

    From the figures point of view he would have been facing left :D

    If the figure was facing to his left you should have been standing on your right leg while crossing the fingers on your left hand to avoid the possibility of his fall disturbing the chuntey. Had it been a female figure the opposite would have been true.

    Where was your mum at the time? Had she just walked in the room?

    My ma would've been at work, at the time but no doubt my gran would've been a few rooms away in the kitchen, and given the time of day, she possibly would've been cooking me up some sausage, chips, n' peas...lovely.

    is there reverse chuntey?

    I'll give you my story...

    Back in the day (thanks Kizza) I had tried in vain to load a "hot" copy of Ad Astra. For weeks I couldn't get this sod to load, trying all known configs (both ear and mic plugs in, all volume levels, adopting the lotus posistion for 92 seconds...) to no avail.

    During the same time, I had a pint pot on top of my tv, and had been trying for months to throw a ping pong ball from the sofa into this pint pot (can't remember why) a distance of about 4/5 metres. No joy in this either, no matter who many attempts.

    Anyway, one evening I was trying to load Ad Astra (attempt configuration 183) and my mate knocked on the door. He came in, sat down and picked up the ping pong ball. He then nonchantly threw it square into the pint pot. After hysterical high fives, Ad Astra succesfully loaded for the first time a few moments later...

    Ad Astra never loaded again. Reverse Chuntey?

    I always thought of the Chuntey as being a sneaky bastard gnome who had to be entertained so as to keep him away from the tape player or computer.

    Apparently you were able to appease him this one time with the ping pong ball but he has a severe case of A.D.D. and therefore the same trick would not have worked again unless it involved a bowling ball.

    No that's the guy who switches traffic lights from green to red when you're about 2 feet away from them :D
