Hail the Hoff!
Did the clubman have the odd wood framework on the outside?

I wanted an xr3i so badly! Never got one. Haven’t seen one for years, suspect they all are tinworm victims by now

Ford cortina mk 3
Ford escort mk 2
Ford capri laser
Ford Orion
Ford fiesta

All in the 90s. Had a bit of a thing for Dagenham dustbins. Driven Toyotas ever since then apart from a brief flirtation with Renault Megane cabriolets which I suspect was a mid life crisis done weirdly

Marc Alaimo maybe. Gul Dukat though, his neck is certainly sub-optimal. A lot of thick muscle and sinew to get through. There's a reason the Cardassians didn't use an axe to execute their own traitors.

Lovely landscape. Looks like it could be a Simon and Garfunkel album cover

Especially if ITV gets sold off to Murdoch.

I can't wait to be retired so I can delete the whole account to be honest. It's an absolute horror show

Prof. Brian Cox. Had 15 a minute one-to-one chat with him at a corporate event. He was charming and I think pleased to talk to me about his time in late 80s soft-rock band Dare. Only wish I'd brought my Out of the Silence LP for him to sign!

God I loved Caffreys in the early/mid nineties. It was in every pub too it seemed

I have the re-issue cd under the “sex leers it’s inquisitive head” title. It is somewhat disturbing

Yeah used an Iris Indigio in '92 to write Autocad add-ons. That thing was beautiful. Stock machine was a Sun Sparcstation for dev back then. Wrote custom Openlook widgets in C. Those were the days

Ah, a zero. Pretty bad then. It'd probably be safer if the employees were crapping on the worktops.

It wasn't. It was called snapper, it just used the pacman character in the gam and cover art.

Are you producing the follow up to this classic?
October 18, 2025 at 12:44 PM
Yes. Williams who did the arcade machine. It was a bit naughty for Acornsoft to do that. It was the same with Snapper, which originally used a pacman character. Had to be withdrawn and replaced.

Just tape, except where it's disk or rom only. Had to draw the line somewhere! Missing some language roms and some special titles like the Paul Daniels one. Also think I'm missing some of the educational titles. I really need to find a complete catalog - I've only got parts catalog to compare to
