The child came home with this track ball the other week. Apparently, it's from one of the decommissioned #LondonUnderground systems. At some point, I shall be plugging it in to the Toughbook. #RetroComputing

Rod Hull Replays an Bunch of NEW VIC20 Games for 2026 🕹️⚡👽👾🚀🎮 2026 might be a good year after all! 🥰 www.youtube.com/watch?v=PugP... #RetroGaming #RetroComputing #Commodore #Commodorevic20 #VIC20 #8bit

Turned TV over to Red Dwarf. One of the Kochanski episodes. Turned over to something else ...

This is good to know. If either of my cats ever attempt any kind of moderate activity, I shall keep an eye out 🐈‍⬛🐈‍⬛ #SpencerAndDennis

Just a #seagull giving a young #fox what for in an #Aldi car park. About as exciting as my life gets atm 😉

Rhubaaaarb!

My tatty little 3 switch #Sears #TeleGames console is now once again a happy little 4 switch console thanks to the very generous @tenpencearcade.bsky.social. Scrubbed up lovely, and @tonyfishlock.bsky.social has also AV modded it for daily use. Gotta love walnut! #Atari #Atari2600 #retrogaming

Not done one of these for a while, so here's a quick #SpencerAndDennis pic for #Caturday. #BlackCat #CatsofBluesky

I bought a 'new' #calculator at the bootsale today. It's been like an episode of The Repair Shop this afternoon as @tonyfishlock.bsky.social has had to partially strip it to work out why it didn't quite work and then how to fix it. It's quite a bit of kit ... #Muldivo #MechanicalCalculator

Those of us who know the A27 will note at no stage did you get above 5mph.

Well, we've just driven all the way from Newhaven to Worthing along the A27 with my phone on the roof of the car. How's your day going? (V v lucky, it's an estate car and my phone got wedged under the roof bars)

You'd think if I've gotten to the age where they're sending me this, I should be old enough to know to wash my hands afterwards 😬 Also: Please do not add extra 💩 Spoilsports! 😂😂😂

I've trained my child well ... he went to the local job centre today, and found this in a charity shop on the way 😱😊 #UraniumGlass

Radio 4 has done an episode about the company as part of its 'Toast' series (the series is about why well-known companies goes bust with companies ranging from Green Shield Stamps to Club 18-30). www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/...

@tonyfishlock.bsky.social has been polishing his vintage parabolic heater. Apparently, it is meant to take your eyebrows off first 🤷‍♀️

If you open and close this stadium the right number of times it will tell your fortune

Felt/saw the top of this in the child's work bag on Friday when I popped a phone battery in there. Didn't say anything, as I honestly didn't want to know why he had a dildo in there 😳😳

Well, I'll remember that manufacturer if ever I want another cable ... name just rolls off the tongue ...

In today's edition of #GrotOrRot I'm pleased to say this laptop cooling pad was 100% grot, as it's working fine now. TBH I couldn't really complain if it wasn't working, as I picked it up for free at the car boot sale this morning.

There's no backwards compatibility anymore

Slightly worrying when you arrive at work, get out of your car and hear something drop. You pick it up, and it's this ⬇️⬇️ Is someone trying to tell me something?

This must be lies, can't see any sign of all those old computers in here? 🤔 @futurewas8bit.bsky.social www.facebook.com/share/18vnST...

Free to a good home. lol

Oooh we've got another diamond encrusted #Atari2600 on the local Arsebook pages. At least this one's not 'rare' or a 'launch edition'. For £550 I'd at least like a in-focus picture of the whole console. #Atari #RetroGaming

Dog Egg

Anthony Machuca, Wake up Steve, our bowls are empty

Currently at #Newhaven Fort. Parts of it are .... triggering ...

Took some screenshots of last night's videos. Some of them really show just how much the lightning lit the place up! 🌩 #Newhaven #Lightning #Storm

Have that (Print run of this one now available in my shop at www.stephencollinsillustration.com)

We have storms! #Newhaven

Bloody hell, one extreme to the other, it's freezing in here today...

Beautiful evening for fish n chips and Morris Minors at #Newhaven West Beach. Shame its flying ant day ... #MorrisMinor #MorrisTraveller #classiccar

Just checking to see if my Paper Mate and Paperchase #pens matched my Paperchase notebook. I think the heat got to me 😆

Post a robot that is not from Star Wars or Transformers.

#SussexDay in #Hailsham. One of those small, relaxed rally x village fete events that we love! #MorrisMinor #MorrisTraveller #ClassicCars #Mk1Escort

Ooh, I spy a limeflower traveller tucked away there ...

Whichever of the purple dots you look at turns more purple.

Now available the demo of Zaxxon Arcade for #Atari2600 console champ.games/f/zaxxon-arc... #atari

Picked up what I thought was a little crochet #snail 🐌 today. Turns out it's actually a #KathKidston tape measure! I thought it was a handmade job with a stolen label, but no, apparently they are a thing. Who'd have thought it!

Let's face it, it wasn't out of stock. Damaged? Quite possibly, that's why I bought it listed as spares or repair 🙄 Miserable git didn't even have the decency to contact me and admit the reason he cancelled was because he didn't get the price he wanted. Reported, not that eBay will do anything.

Any of you connector aficionados out there, any clue what this is and what its mate is? It's almost the thickness of the PCB itself

Today's boot sale pickup. This is not #UraniumGlass, but for 50p I'll take that blue glow 😊

Would any of you lovely UK #Atari people happen to have an #Atari2600 select or reset switch I could purchase, please? Just adopted this rather unloved 4 switch #Sears Tele-Games system. Apparently it was reconditioned in 1983 by Sears, so it's about time it had another service. Thanks in advance 😊
