I really enjoyed Hastings and surrounding environs, but it's good to be back with Hipster Buddha in ol Brizzle

What's your "origin" video game? Ghostbusters for the Commodore 64 on 5.25 inch floppy disk. As a kiddo I had to learn code to load the program. I got pretty good at parsing out what codes to use to get just about any other game to load as well. Comma 8 comma 1 forever!

Hmm! I think I'll probably visit Battle next week so interesting to have that all in mind. I am also entertained by the respective sizes of these two streets in St Leonards.

A Google map screenshot of a city. There are two parallel streets, one called Norman road that is shown as quite wide, and another one called Saxon Street which is quite tiny

The audio caberet at the #XMTR festival last night. Helen Zaltzman closed out the evening with a dramatic reading from that 80s classic, "Ventriloquism for the Total Dummy". @helenzaltzman.bsky.social

Used the last day of my student railcard (😭) on a daytrip from Bristol to lovely Weymouth w/my bicycle. Saw Nothe Fort (AMAZING), 2 castles, many habours & beaches. Had one heck of a tailwind (& then a heck of a headwind) riding across the Isle of Portland causeway! #england #dorset #uk #cycling

Hey UK: a couple boxes of Star Trek memorabilia/DVDs/magazines/books are still in need of rehoming! Pickup from Chippenham would be appreciated. Preferably it all goes in one bundle. All for the low, low price of free! Comment or PM me #StarTrek

Yet more fabulous art from the Bedminster neighbourhood of Bristol, UK #streetart #bristol

The back of a small brick gatehouse behind a fence has the life-sized body of giraffe painted on it, and a sculpture of a giraffe head atop it, so it looks like a giraffe behind a fence in a zoo. Terribly clever!

It's funny walking around NY in a cowboy hat, because I just keep forgetting until someone gives me an odd look or mentions it. And then this chucklehead in a cowboy hat wanders onto my turf at JFK. Faux pas, dude!

I have limited copies of my history of the McGann era here with me at #LIWho. If you want a copy, pick one up ASAP -- if yesterday's enthusiasm was any indicator, there's an excellent chance I sell out of "Leap of Eighth" today! #DoctorWho
