It's always 3am, never at 16.15 on a Saturday when you've got enough time to find a new battery and get the ladders out of the garage and change the buggers before tea time.

Awww, beautiful. We had a few holidays in a static caravan there in the 1970s. I still remember falling asleep to the gentle hiss of the gas mantle lamps.

Bristol is great so I'd say it depends on the expenses policy

Why have green peppers disappeared from Supermarkets in Britain (well in Greater Manchester anyway)?

The Claude Code pricing mess is only part of the story. It was a symptom of Anthropic being squeezed three ways at once. 1/6 🧵

I've been in Seattle at Microsoft HQ learning all sorts of stuff. One of the great things being there is getting to meet some Microsoft royalty. #MVPSummit (And according to some wags, Clippy was just as excited to meet James May) #MVPBuzz

Haven't been on X since the new year/new phone either. I did notice the host's timbre was a little odd last week.

I've only just found out about this, presumably it played out on Facebook? (I'm not a FB user)

That Perfect Day track wasn't half bad #forgotten80s

I always get Def Snake and WhiteLeppard mixed up #forgotten80s

Quietly consigns that version of Everlasting Love to the #forgotten80s vault, gently locks the door and tiptoes away, without looking back.

I wonder if the copyright legal fees outweighed the royalties for De La Soul on that track #forgotten80s

From krazy Kitt to Japan wobbly covering a 60s hit - can't get much more 80s than this #forgotten80s

The Point was my nearest cinema growing up in the 80s. It was an architectural marvel, a glass pyramid - so futuristic.

Hiring a tribute band to play at your own gigs because you don't want to is quite spectacularly brilliant #forgotten80s

There's been a few cracking weird tracks on tonight #forgotten80s.

I love Midge's After A Fashion - plugging together two of my fave 80s acts. #forgotten80s

I'm very late to #forgotten80s tonight, why is this man singing Spank The Neighbour?

That is the most deeply unerotic lyric of the night. #forgotten80s. Well done. Two house points
