Archimedes Live! - Online Acorn Archimedes emulator

You can play the very first ARM processor based game in your browser.

David Braben created Lander in 1987 for the Acorn Archimedes. It later became Zarch (Virus on other platforms)

It all started here folks!

Hell, she and her husband should be asked that in USAn bars, too.
And restaurants. And grocery stores. And shoe stores. And bakeries. And clothing stores. And the PTA.

Bring back shunning, honestly.

Now hear me out, but Iโ€™m just beginning to think it may have been an error to appoint a deranged, narcissistic, psychopathic, criminal, sex offender, reality TV star on the run from justice with dementia to the highest political office in the world. Twice.

A handicap blue and white painted sign on the asphalt of a parking space. The symbols are meant to be a pregnant women and a baby stroller, but it doesn't look like that. It looks like pac man being killed with scissors next to a dancer

Tinderbox: The Bell launches a new map of Glasgow's many fires The propensity for so many buildings to catch fire has stoked conspiracy theories galore. Is there anything to them?

Why are there SO many fires destroying historical buildings in Glasgow? Tonightโ€™s tragedy is just the latest.

@glasgowbell.bsky.social mapped them. โ€˜With every conflagration there are whispers that thereโ€™s slightly more to things than meets the eyeโ€™.

โ€œHIELANMAN'S UMBRELLAโ€ should be a new law of journalism, which states that if AI generated photos are used in a news article, all reporting from that publication should be instantly distrusted.

But, rather than receiving a formal
invite to meet Trump, Farage was in
fact invited to Mar-a-Lago by a
member of the club, according to
multiple people briefed on the matter


They said Farage had hoped he would
be able to catch Trump for a
conversation as the US president was
scheduled to travel to Mar-a-Lago that
evening. However, Trump had a
change in his itinerary and decided to
stay instead in Doral, about an hour`s
drive away


The Reform leader's failure to secure
an audience with the US president
underscores a weakening of ties
between the two populist leaders who
famously formed a close friendship in
the vears before and after the 2016

Massive humiliation for Farage, who tipped off the UK press that he was flying to Florida to have dinner with Trump... only for Trump to decide he had more interesting things to do when Nigel arrived.

Image of a book cover. The title is "Usborne Introduction to Machine Code for Beginners" and it has colourful cartoon drawings of piece of paper and notepads with cryptic assembly code on them, and some futuristic space ship flying over a planet. In the corner it advertises "For the Z80 and 6502" (The 6502 was in the original Atari 2600 video game system)

Wildflowers, a couple of springs ago, in the churchyard in Buckfastleigh, Devon. This is actually a very spooky spot in winter as it's the resting place of the allegedly Satanic Squire Richard Cabell - inspiration for Arthur Conan Doyle's Baskerville legend - whose corpse is boxed in by a somewhat incongruous structure, a little pagoda-ish, but also not unlike the kind of public toilet you might find in a small British town, which sits on the south side of the church. Do NOT walk around it backwards as the Devil will bite your fingers and Cabell will release his hell hounds. Also, the church has been burned down by Satanists not once but TWICE in the last couple of centuries. (I wrote about all this in more detail in my book 21st-Century Yokel, and a couple of the scarier gravestones inspired bits in my novel Villager.
