Daft wazzock. Music, old computers and twaddle.

The only acceptable use of finger-clicking in cricket is the logo on this 7" single.

Blue Suede Views, the music magazine on Oracle on Channel 4 before Teletext UK took over the franchise.
Italian arcade game manufacturer Zaccaria bootlegged Space Invaders clones under the name The Invaders.
Not done this for a while - another random selection of just some of the FLAC albums on my phone.
They may have been predicting the future career of the kid sat next to Sarah Greene - he was Michael McIntyre.
Interesting name for a road built on the former Strawberry Field site in Liverpool. Obviously the official responsible for naming it was a fan of a different popular beat combo!
It takes about 4 seconds to run on a Tiny2040 running PicoMite BASIC. geoffg.net/picomite.html No joy with any of the emulated systems yet - I can't get my install of PDP-8 BASIC to run any code, although I can edit it. The BASIC interpreter provided with Research Unix V4 from 1973 is very broken.
Here's an entry with the correct tags, when the files are running on a Lyrion server. Well, other than the date which needs fixing, although I'd prefer to disable it completely.
The comedy text adventure Dennis Through The Drinking Glass, which you play as Denis Thatcher. I never got very far with it, as you had to remember to take a drink every 10 turns.
This would have been a spinet, a triangular shaped harpsichord, which took up less space than a standard one, with the longest side placed flush against a wall. They appeared in the 1630s.
Several cassettes in the Double Play Adventures series, bought for £2 each from the local independent electrical shop, such as this one, each one containing two games made with The Quill. A Tangled Tale was based on Alice In Wonderland and oddly used ASCII art throughout.
Peter Pan Playthings did a similar series of Pop-o-matic based games, such as this one. I owned the cricket one, which was essentially just a dice version of the old pencil cricket game, which had been previously sold as Owzthat.
Back in the 1980s, I won this set of ZX Spectrum text adventure games in a magazine competition. I suspect a certain very rich person would like the first of the three. I completed the first two games but got nowhere in the third.
Advent guitar thing, day 24. A second volume of music for two guitars from Santos & Cáceres - a.k.a. The Hank Marvin Twins. I won't be listening to any classical guitar music for some time!
