Heart of gold, knob of butter

North Wiltshire.
In WHTG SmithsJones buying Amiga Format Addict like it's some sort of alternate 1993.

I asked the newsagent where my coverdisk was and she tried to sell me an offer on a giant bar of Dairy Milk.

If this video doesn't feature Chinny miming to a backing track of 'The Lord's My Shepherd' whilst walking the streets of a surprisingly empty Dorset village then I'll be bitterly disappointed.

I bought this book for the kids. None of them are interested so it's mine now!

(Once I've done the hard bit and actually made a few models they'll come around...)

I am in this video, in colour and without the yellow background.

A good summary of a good day.
My video overview of the wonderful Workbench 2025 event, held at the end of October, including folks like Stoo Cambridge and Chris White (Amiga Outrun).

A look at some new kit too.

Join me as I walk around the event and check things out. 😁

We start our look at less popular handheld devices with the Tapwave Zodiac. The Zodiac was a brave attempt to utilise the PalmOS platform to make a purpose built gaming device..

Derby - popped into retroworlds.uk to see the infamous SPARE'S & REPAIR'S apostrophes. No photos or videos taken because I'm not a self-important content creator.

A good shop though!

On to Manchester! I've had sausage and mash in a park and I've been waved at by a man who looked like a young Bernard Sumner.

We all went to see Tron Ares. The kids took their Tron toys (causing the 8yr-old to squeal with excitement when it appeared in the film) and we all had a great time!

Not every movie needs to be Citizen Kane.

My Windows 10 PC (which has been fault-free for years) has started playing-up! It freezes and the HD light thrashes away forcing a hard reset.

It's October, the last month of Windows 10 support and Microsoft are pushing Windows 11.

Coincidence?
