@HealthHarmonie Why do you never answer the phones? Your phone system is clearly broken as it reports wait times > 60 mins and asks if I want a callback - no one ever calls back. It seems impossible to get in touch with you. Useless!

@HealthHarmonie Looks like you have issues with your phones - absolutely no one ever answers, phone system reports wait time of over 60 minutes, asks if I want to save my space in the queue for a callback...I've tried to use that option 3 times and no one ever calls back. Useless

Do you like garden implements? Do you like music? Well why not go totally mad and join the two together!
Read about how I did just that in this latest How To article.
Thought for the day: what is it about toast crumbs that make them stick to a plate so well? Surely scientists can harness this adhesive power and use it for good?!
(and don't get me started on the adhesive power of milk-sodden Weetabix - defeats the most powerful of dishwashers)

WAIT!!! What is this?!?!? (rubs eyes) HOLY MOLY!! It's compatible with all my carts!!! I was going to get one of those Retron thingies but could never find one for sale. This seems only available in the States though :(
This is a great article about a company I'm very fond of: theguardian.com/games/2023/a…

Something about this really doesn't sit well with me...BBC clearly are bought and paid for.

I'm not a particularly prolific writer, but from time to time the urge strikes me to go and put pen to paper - or rather, fingers to keyboard.

@TwiningsUK please, please remove "Distinctly Smoky" from sale and give us back our Lapsang Souchong tea. I have never tasted a more repellent cup of tea as I encountered when I was forced to buy this Distinctly Disgusting horror show of a replacement.

What a stunning build - combining 2 of my favourite things - a Vectrex and an arcade cocktail cab. Love it!
