I have been led to understand that Hitch may be streaming the WORLD PREMIERE of the B side to Jet Set Steamboat Willie - "Dark side of the 'Toon" on today's stream. Get involved! #ZXSpectrum

I am always, always, ALWAYS going to say Speccy so it's definitely getting my vote, but the other 8 bits are fun streams too. I tend to prefer the 8-bit computer streams over consoles, not really sure why.

The food on an advert generally looks nicer than the food in reality, so how dreadful are the fry ups at IKEA? Cheap for sure, but that sausage looks grim, the bacon & hash brown might be nice if they cooked them, and what's that monstrosity to the right of that miserable tomato?

I'm so sick of these wacky fringe parties standing in elections and undermining UK politics. I mean just look at this example, poor Phin Adams having to share the stage with a ludicrous Dickensian pantomime villain.

Interesting, we normally get an obscene amount of Lib Dem leaflets through, but this year nothing. They'll be a distant 3rd here as per usual so I guess they're focusing their efforts where they've a chance of gaining seats this time.

Yeah, but the bands I'm talking about are "not Britpop" because they refer to themselves as "Indie" or whatever. They can be classified in whatever way they like, but it's just funny to me how they all seem to want to distance themselves from the term.

Seen so many documentaries/interviews with UK bands that were big in the 90s where they say something like "we weren't really part of the Britpop thing" or "we never considered ourselves Britpop" If you were in the NME, MM, Q & Select & had a few hits you were Britpop, own it & get over yourselves.

Someone posting a video of Zig and Zag on Twitter has led me to the greatest 3 degrees of separation ever: Josef Stalin met Denis Healey Denis Healey met Zig and Zag Zig and Zag met the late great Ol’ Dirty Bastard of the Wu Tang Clan.

A few sound issues at the start sure, but this article inexplicably quotes some mean spirited guff & for some reason talks absolute bollocks about her voice, she was awesome & absolutely killed it.

Completely normal behaviour for fans when a manager has led their team to the top of the group in a major tournament, undefeated and into the knockout stages.

Yeah it's basically Pyramania (which was basically Jet Set Willy!) but he made it deliberately crash on 48k so he could market it as a 128k game!!
There's a good article about his "work" here:

Ah good old Harry S. Price best known for taking a game, passing it off as his own, usually making it worse & adding (often game breaking) bugs into the mix. Here we have kind of the opposite of that, fixing bugs, improving a game & acknowledging the original.
