"killed him almost instantly"

Shame. Still, the important part is he's dead.

It's such a shame there are no other countries around that somehow manage to pay for stuff that the UK could look at and use an example of how to pay for stuff oh well I guess that's that, nothing can be done

I do think more people should accept that the left were 100% correct about Starmer and what he would do in office once elected. Probably not going to get anywhere until we accept that

The EU needs to immediately announce a €500million vaccine development program complete with unlimited visas for any qualified person to work on it.

I get that, I just don't understand why every council leader & National Association of Local Councils isn't collectively & loudly telling everyone that the reason their local services are in the bin is because central government refuses to pay for stuff they're legally bound to provide.

I have yet to understand why no council has yet very loudly stood up and said "No fuck you, these are statutory requirements, central government has to pay for it". Not even Andy Burnham has done that one.

Jeremy Corbyn attacks Angela Rayner for selling off allotments The ex-Labour leader - and keen gardener - accuses ministers of threatening a British tradition.

They've been *itching* to start regurgitating the same old Jam Man articles all over again.

DESTROY fascists with FACTS and LOGIC, except by "FACTS", I mean <static> and by "LOGIC" I mean <buzzing noise> and mop everything down afterwards.

Well then everyone is unhappy, which is somehow a perfect encapsulation of this government.

I think that was the original idea, but Clive must have surely noticed how many other companies were busy selling tape recorders for use with his own computer once he'd launched it?

I think it solves the problem of him having to do his job and occasionally talk to the plebeians.

Monitors as well, come to think of it. Sure the Speccy wasn't exactly high-res but if Commodore could sell the 1701 for the C64, Sinclair could surely have sold something even cheaper to go with the Spectrum.

Timex recognised the need and *did* produce one, but Sinclair didn't have their own tape deck until they produced the +2

It has only just occurred to me that Sinclair, a company that loved to make cheap consumer electronics, never made their own official cassette tape drive for the ZX80/81/Spectrum computers. This seems like a really obvious thing for them to have sold, and they just, never did?

Aren't they also charging you lolmoneybucks to "securely" return them to you?

My Old Dutch is surprisingly authenticate, quite good, and also the only place I know of in London where you can get a glass of Duvel.
