I couldn’t find any way to enter a discount code for a UK date but happy to say I’ve now got a ticket to see you folks in Bristol again.

Have you announced who is attending these dates yet?

Borland Turbo Pascal and later Delphi I believe. It was a really snappy version that ran in DOS.

I had the brilliantly named shareware version of 123 named AsEasyAs.

Burt Humpbackarach and Elvis Costblowhole

This popped up on my YouTube feed and it’s a beautifully unpretentious slice of Clannad as they may have rocked up at a pub gig.

Hi Mark, blast from the past, I was The Wisest Fool on h2g2 a lifetime ago. I’m moving house and boxing things up and the other day found an old Christmas card from Douglas and crew.
Good to see you on here.

There are probably quite a few people who would love to eat that but are instead having to eat a postage stamp style posh meal at a swanky restaurant their other half has insisted they try out.

Set this up at the new house yesterday and it sounds great.

My old Kan Mk3 speakers on Mission stands, a WiiM Sub Pro subwoofer and the WiiM Amp Ultra in charge.

Used the iOS app to run room setup first both the Ultra and the Sub and it all seemed to work well.

Had to demo first with Bob Marley😀

Or Lord if he’s done something very wrong

LOL. tbf she raised me as a single mother for most of the first 15 years of my life so I give her a huge pass on any of that stuff.

Possessions aren’t everything.

Ha, it was fine. Never back there to stay after that apart from a few months post uni trying to get my first job; I paid rent to bagsy back the bigger room.

Winced a bit when I learned what the comics were worth later.

My mum had form, gave my toy soldiers to a cousin when I was on a school trip!

Same. Had the first 200 or so and all the Starlords stacked in my bedroom. First visit back home after uni over Winter holidays and saw they had all been binned as one of my stepsisters had moved in.

I was relocated to the box room that had one of those sliding concertina style plastic doors.

Kate Bush-Hounds Of Love

“Oh, here I go
It's coming for me through the trees
Oh, help me, someone,
help me, please
Take my shoes off and throw them in the lake
And I'll be
Two steps on the water”

Day 21: song with syncopation
Tom Waits-Clap Hands

“Roar, roar the thunder
and the roar
Son of a bitch is never
comin' back here no more
Moon in the window
and a bird on the pole
Always find a millionaire
to shovel all the coal

Clap hands, clap hands”

Feel like one of those guys with a secret second family except I’m skulking back from my nice clean ascetically furnished new house to my crammed full of my old crap rented house each day.

I really must get on with this “moving out” thing I keep hearing about.

“I know, start a war!”
The #undersea leader screams

“Ah, excuse me
Oh, will you excuse me
I'm just trying to find the bridge
Has anybody seen the bridge?
Please
(Have you seen the bridge?)
I ain't seen the bridge
(Where's that confounded bridge?)”

Chisellers and frauds.

Starts spreading fake news
He’s “truthing” again
Don’t want to be a part of it
Block block block block

WiiM Amp Ultra - all in one audio streamer and amplifier.

Cream crackered today. Got to say packing and moving stuff around is a pretty good workout; can feel the pounds falling off me.

First time in yonks with a working freezer and just rediscovered the simple pleasure of freshly squeezed OJ on the rocks.

Also, getting one of these soon.
Can’t wait!

Are you watching closely?

Some will deem this #trickery
Understanding must be sought
New magicians bound to be
Discovering new thoughts
All in the hope of peace
Yearning to be unleashed

Nearly every capitalist
Abandons youthful care
Pardon for me not living in despair
