@IanRobinson @stuartgibson My first job, too! Tandem system with an *amazing* reel-to-reel tape drive that could lace its own tape onto the spool using a vacuum system that sucked the tape into the right place. One of the most preposterous bits of tech I’ve ever used :)

@davidcaolo I’m considering putting it on a similar-vintage iMac, but I feel your hesitation. Going to at least back it up three different ways and make sure there’s a *lot* of disk space free first.

@AndyRileyish @JulianDutton1 Looking forward to the revamped 7th hole where you have to putt a coronavirus-shaped ball through the mouth of a a windmill-driven automaton that keeps putting its mask on and off.

@forestpines @Dru_Marland For me it’s the smell of my cousin Simon’s Scalextric controllers at Christmas :D

Always fascinated by this little place with the grand chimneys. Wondered today if it’s really two-storey or if it technically counts as a bungalow with a preposterous mansard roof. pic.twitter.com/ZAU2FlhPuq

MittenDAmour If you are suddenly facing Christmas alone, I have tips. I LOVE Christmas alone so get on board.

Food: What would you ideally like to eat if no-one could limit you or judge you? Nothing but pigs in blankets? Just cake? Pot Noodle? Get that! I’m having cheese and crackers.
