Despite growing up in the 1970s/80s and having a VIC=20 and an Acorn Electron, I don't think I've ever heard of BASICODE until now. Interesting so thank you for pointing it out. I wonder how I missed it?

Just install Linux on the machine and give Microsoft the proverbial heave-ho. Voting with your patronage and cash is the most effective message to companies.

If only he'd been Prime Minister of the UK he could have... oh wait... never mind.

In another "glad I was working from home" episode some of my co-workers who did go into the office today had to turn round and go home because a "major water main issue" caused a load of burst pipes in our building before all the water was turned off (so no flushing loos, drinks, hand washing, etc).

The 7-day Weather Analogue Index currently has 1970 in pole position. That year brought a famous white Christmas. Could we be in for a repeat this year? ❄️🎄

“Politically correct” cycle lane plans would put “economic vitality” of town at “serious risk”, warns Labour MP – due to loss of six car parking spaces According to the MP, building the bike lane would cause "serious challenges" for local businesses, “erode public trust, and squander valuable public funds

If the loss of six parking spaces is going to jeopardise the economy of the town…

Your occasional reminder that shopkeepers overestimate the proportion of their customers that come by car. #ActiveTravel

A bowl of dried bean seeds surrounded by pods on my desk.

My office mates are going to love to hear that my #bean #harvest has been really quite good this year so there's going to be lots of bean chilies, bean burgers, bean sausages, bean bakes, bean curries, bean stews, etc, etc. #allotment #GrowYourOwn

Lots of red Holly berries in amongst the mass of green Holly leaves

Lots of red Holly berries in the hedge on my walk home. I hope they're still there in a month or so when I start making Yule door wreaths.

Wood chip mulch around asparagus and baby fruit bush in beds next to a large hazel hedge.

Started winter tasks of weeding and mulching some of the #allotment plots.

Red tomatoes peeping out from between the green foliage

Outdoor #tomatoes at our #allotment #garden are still fruiting in mid October.

I guess we'll get frosts come along soon and then these will be over, but until that happens I'm harvesting these little red beauties! 👍🍅

Funnily enough I was in Morrisons with a friend last night and they pointed out the Christmas Pringles flavours, which ISTR also included pigs in blankets flavour. As a veggie who has never had pigs in blankets I've no idea what that would taste like, but I think I'll stick to salt & vinegar.

We can look forward to Jan 2nd 2026 when those tubes will be 25p each in Sainsburys, just like the football special flavour was earlier in the summer.

I guess dosing Brussels sprouts with mono-sodium glutimate is one way of getting kids to eat them.

Aw, blooming football yet again. 😡

I suspect Farage is more stunned that he admitted it. 🤔

View towards town from the top of the railway station steps down from Alcester Road showing a devastated embankment.

Looking back up at the embankment towards the college, with litter all over it.

The awful result of a decimated embankment facing towards the town.

The @warwickshirecc.bsky.social or their contractors have made a right flipping mess by cutting down all the #biodiversity supporting plants and leaving a rubbish strewn embankment as the "Welcome to Stratford-upon-Avon" outside the railway station. #FFS

Or if the AI bubble bursts like the dotcom one did, make a huge loss for their investors. Which, er, might well be us little people via our pension schemes.

The phrase "no shit Sherlock" sort of encapsulates the obviousness of this to everyone outside of the venture capital/stocks-n-shares ecosystem.

ID photos of 70,000 users may have been leaked, Discord says The platform says hackers targeted a firm that helped to verify the ages of its users.

Absolutely *no one* saw this coming, right?

You take it easy - we don't want you wrecking your new bionic knee!

Incidentally for the screws the "categories" are currently broken down by slotted or posidrive/philips and then within each 25mm or shorter, or longer than 25mm. As we don't know what people will be building yet, we might need to further separate these down, and its better than all mixed up!
