Not saying this place is filled with insane people but after being away for a year and having only previously posted mundane BS I’m apparently on 27 blocklists with titles related to various ‘phobias and blocked by hundreds of ppl

Actually, 'inspired' by the that least thread of QPs, here's a bunch of pictures from the amazing National Museum of Computing in Bletchley Park. Great place, very knowledgable staff but it's quite disappointing that this is pretty much it in the UK for coverage of the History of this topic

Quote post with your first computer. The Commodore Vic 20.

Quote bloop with your first computer. The Acorn Electron. Spent hours on it, teaching myself BASIC. I've still got mine in the garage, still working, and still with the manual, although I haven't felt the need to power it up and use its 32Kb of raw power for a few decades now.

Things are *slightly* bad when you have 300 MPs and instead choose to outsource a key role to someone who already crapped up the country once

Pretty pleased my latest shit dad joke* was so good the daughter even wrote it down for later use:
"We've just had a horse and bee move in next door. They're our neighbuzz"

Popped my camera on my bike today because, well mid life crises do tend to convince one to do the most pointless of things but disappointed to look at the footage later and see not a single thing worth posting about. I swear Vine goes out of his way to find stupid drivers

Been 'watching' that Vasco Rossi thing because the other half actually likes him but it is pretty much the Brian Pern mockumentary but in Italian. It's definitely a cultural thing
