Crikey! Imagine what ‘normal’ meetings are like. Likely to never get anything done and becomes a procrastination fest.

Renewables are the future ✊

Would be good to explain the economics of this in context of middle income tax payers money providing a higher proportion to fund this.

E.g. Will it help reduce energy debt overall and therefore have an overall benefit to our society?

Take the idea from Dig Dug.

UK homes should have more basements although I fear this would cause to to collect event more, so limited space might actually be a good thing… 🤔

Nice one! Just trying to get back to a bit of running myself after twisting something in my knee a while back and seems to take longer and longer to heal now I'm 50+.

Never really enjoyed running up until recently as well.

There’s impact to the camp that will want to explore modding and can see both sides of the coin. I’ll be happy to receive my Starlight in May after delays.

Trying the C64U new capabilities, some original games from my childhood and looking pretty on my shelf when not in use are what I’m after.

Remember when you felt like a true deity with Populous? The precursor for all RTS and god games started on the #Amiga.

If you got angry you didn't need to invade countries #irl but just zap your enemies with an earthquake or volcano if you had enough followers...

I feel the pain. Back after a week off and 3 hour teams meeting first thing and 100’s of emails and chat messages to trawl through despite back to back meetings. Must be something better than this.

Just suffered a 3 hour Teams meeting after returning to work from a week off, so the ‘boring’ totally resonates. I’m reflecting on my life choices already and it’s not even 1pm! 😮‍💨

Presume Stephen is one of the out of focus people in the background, so I can’t quite assess the age…

Found a great #C64 copy of The Bard’s Tale, complete with hand-drawn dungeon maps from the previous owner.

Graph paper was a staple for us in the #80s. If you didn't have it... you didn't survive.

Just listed over FORTY games on my eBay store. Mostly Atari 7800 and 2600 with a smattering of Master System. Some fairly rare ones too like Ikari Warriors, Galaga, Tower Toppler, a white label Beamrider, and a boxed Raiders of the Lost Ark. Fill your Easter baskets!

Government looking at decoupling electricity and gas prices to bring down bills Ed Miliband spoke to Labour MPs about possible action after the chancellor faced questions about how she plans to help households if the war in Iran continues to impact their finances.

First sign of a positive shift to decouple electricity from gas pricing. 🤞

Whaaaaaaaat?! There is?! I loved that cartoon as a kid and loved the theme tune then. Whilst it was a bit dark, so were the 80's.

Where do we find this track?

The black oily monster things creeped me on on the first one but that didn’t stop me enjoying the beautiful graphics and spending time exploring the landscapes.

What I imagined Vista Pro would have generated back in the day.

So I completed Jupiter Fracture, great fun! There's a message hidden in the level codes, no spoilers though. Well, not unless showing how I read it is a spoiler?

If I worked it out, I'm sure anyone else would.

Can’t wait to give it a go when my Starlight arrives hopefully in the next several days (if the order status - ‘en route to hub’ is accurate).

Remember the original cart and still can hear the starting music jingle in my head. 40+ year old ear worm!🪱
