Colin Troy @colintroy.bsky.social · 25/07/2026It’s interesting how your solution to keeping people’s rights to buy disposable barbecues is to police beauty spots and fine people for being there. 000
Colin Troy @colintroy.bsky.social · 25/07/2026Maybe a disposable barbecue police officer tax premium would pay for it. Extra £10 per barbecue sold 100
Colin Troy @colintroy.bsky.social · 25/07/2026So sending police to patrol remote areas is the priority now? So people in flats can have disposable barbecues? Send the police into all the wooded areas? How many extra officers should we recruit for that? And what if they aren’t exactly where they need to be when a fire starts? 200
Colin Troy @colintroy.bsky.social · 11/07/2026Nothing beats the Stay Puft marshmallow man in Ghostbusters. Pictured is the Atari 8-bit version. A single sprite (called Players in Atari speak) could be 256 scan lines tall (taller than the screen itself) and had multiple pixel widths. 8 pixels wide apiece, this one is two players side-by-side 010

Colin Troy @colintroy.bsky.social · 06/06/2026Not able to remember any particular game as most were endless, but the first (probably only) text adventure I ever completed was Stranded by English software on the Atari 8-bit 120

Colin Troy @colintroy.bsky.social · 16/05/2026Yeah I see warnings of increased electricity usage, but in the UK electricity usage has been declining for a long while now. There are genuine issues though - noise pollution being a major one. 010
Colin Troy @colintroy.bsky.social · 14/05/2026Yes, but I bet you like a bit of Smith Wigglesworth with your tea & crumpets 100
Colin Troy @colintroy.bsky.social · 18/04/2026Wife & I in Curry’s- “What are these?” she asks me. “Those are those glasses for voyeurs with cameras in them. They should be banned.” Curry’s pervert glasses salesman: “They’re safe cos they have a light in them to show everyone when they’re on.” Bet you wish you were selling the air fryers mate 000

Colin Troy @colintroy.bsky.social · 09/12/202526% below the price cap tomorrow - have had windy days where electricity becomes free on a tracker tariff. Not sure where we’re losing? They get paid to not generate because it’s more expensive to shut down/restart gas turbines. 100
Colin Troy @colintroy.bsky.social · 30/11/2025Missing the days Google would know what you meant despite a typo 121
