Russell Brand: BBC apologises after report into comedian's behaviour Staff felt they could not speak up with concerns about the star's behaviour, an internal review finds.

Russel Brand had consensual sex with a competition winner from his 6 Music show on BBC premises!
I wonder if the winner expected that sort of prize?!

Source code for the Amstrad CPC version of Ultimate Play the Game's 'Sabre Wulf'. Originally written by an old schoolfriend, Paul Proctor, but finished off internally at Ultimate. Paul rescued his old disks from a garage and I have been recovering and archiving them. Some disks in a terrbile state!

Fucking hell. 'Made the case good' on the invoice.

Part of what I asked him to do was secure our Gotek and glue new case clips on. The top case is half off.

I agree no real care or experience!
Been working in the trade since 1984 & I gave up fixing home computers in early 90's as too many butchers trying to grift!
I still have some service manuals!
I recently bumped into some of my customers from the 80's which was a bit freaky to help them again!

I've posted this request before on other platforms, but would like to see if anyone here can help. I'm on the lookout for anyone that has or knows about the Aculab DASH-80 computer - from around 1984 in the UK. It's a fast, Z80 based CP/M machine that was used for game development. Many thanks!

I met Prince Charles, chatted & shook hands when his trust started me out in business!
His team made it possible for me to get the correct test equipment like the HM604 Oscilloscope which I still use today!

36 YEARS AGO: In 1988 Amstrad launched the PPC Portable PC. At around 5kg it was more luggable than portable, but still, it paved the way for things to come. Here's Alan Sugar presenting it to Prince Charles.
