Weirdly, not as abnormally normal as I thought. I like fixing things, and occasionally, I like making things. Here for the retrocomputing community and some music.

It might be worth paying a little extra for guinness in that part of the world, although I'm sure guinness prices would most likely be cheaper than Dublin 😁

Currently 0c in Dublin, with a real feel of -2c. It could be the Long Johns talking, but it feels like such a lovely, fresh healthy morning.

Such a beautiful song. Gets me everytime.

With the eyes of one who hates for just being born'

I watched it as a kid in the early 80s. Always loved the intro and idea of the show. I'd say they are a fun read.

Looks like it was well worth the wait. You picked some great titles and at bargain price. The last Star Fighter was a favourite growing up, never knew that or Buck Rogers were books.

It was like I had a guardian angel guiding me home. Or somebody who regretted responding to that first message 😁

Practice makes perfect, but that does sounds like a great night in πŸ˜‰

We could be overdue a pint with lots of laughs, plenty of crap talk and more laughter. And that's not just because I mayneed somebody to wake me up after my fourth pint, and help carry me home 😁

The lack of appreciation for the practicing fox screaming in pubs is quite alarming @ally-wallace.bsky.social

Tut tut..

All those alleged fox screams you heard over the years, it was all meeeeee...

That one is probably, slightly too creepy 😁

I have mastered the mimicking of fox screams, using them to camouflage the romantic noises of my ladder positioning.

I will let the historical bit slide for now 😁

That, and the soft romantic clattering of a ladder resting against your windowsill 😁

It's 1989 and I would have been 19 years of age.. so I wasn't to sure what to expect from this year's retro charts but I can say it brings up some surprises in both games and music really... So enjoy

It's a welcome sight, but may not be out for too long. We've had rain every day for the last two months. Thats a lot, even for Ireland 😁

A friend of mine used to exhibited similar symptoms when playing on his ZX Spectrum. Have you been using a Spectrum lately 😁

It makes getting to work very entertaining though. My dancing has improved massively since buying my umbrella 😁

Things sometimes become clearer, and make much more sense when we realise we are not seen as a friend, just a sounding board πŸ˜‚

One of my Dad's favourites was Destry Rides Again. I remember him telling me how after going to see it, he and his friends would hum the theme while playing cowboys and Indians, in Dublin 😁.

It is a classic, and still very entertaining. As easy watch westerns go, it's one of my favourites too.
