I remember playing this as a kid on holiday on the south coast of the UK. It never had much love, and I never found an emulated version. Pleasantly surprised to see it making a comeback. #retrogaming

I bought a table/basket thing, ostensibly as a place for the kindling to live. It has already been claimed. #catsofbluesky

Disgusting. 🥵

33 degrees. In May. Obscene. Going to cool off with a cold bath and this. #ukweather #beer

One last post from the Steam Rally. If you’re British, you’re likely familiar with the Green Goddess, the Auxiliary Fire Engine, often manned by the Army. This was one example, with an interesting bit of info about Britain’s nuclear war planning, and the famous Coventry Climax engine! #weirdcarbs

Some excellent old toys and models at the Steam Rally too. #scalemodelling #cymru

#motosky action at the Steam Rally too.

Steam Rally today. Haven’t been to one since I was a kid. 1/ #weirdcarbs #cymru

Glorious. #motosky #cymru

Not lifting under yellow flags should be - at an absolute minimum - a one race suspension. Those flags are there for the safety of the marshals and fellow competitors. The FIA needs to clamp down on this nonsense. #F1 #CanadianGP

10/10 from the British Jury. #F1 #CanadianGP

I see Isack Hadjar has been studying hard at the Red Bull School of Racecraft. #F1 #CanadianGP

lol. But a shame, because that was spicy and going to end in absolute tears. #F1 #CanadianGP

Thank all in the name of everything that is holy that a Penske did not win the #Indy500. Get fucked, Roger, you hateful, cheating piece of shit.

Sorry Indy, you’ve been relegated to the iPad. I adore the Canadian Grand Prix. Can’t wait. #F1 #CanadianGP

Excuse me, I’m trying to watch the #indy500 here. #catsofbluesky

Wow. What a rookie error from Newgarden. Really surprised to see that. #indy500

Not sure who’s going to win the #Indy500, but I do know that us UK viewers are the real losers, having to listen to Tom Gaymor’s “colour commentary.” Absolutely abysmal. For God’s sake, just put the adverts on. That’d be preferable.

A rally driver has been disqualified from Royal Rally of Scandinavia for asking a female scrutineer if she wanted to see his genitals. Then he proceeded to grab them. He should have his license taken away and/or be shot into the sun. Zero fucking excuse. It’s hard enough for women in motorsport.

#CanadianGP day. Circuit Gilles Villeneuve is one of the most beautiful settings imaginable for a race circuit. I visited two years ago, a few weeks ahead of the Grand Prix. Gorgeous parkland, tonnes of (motorsport and other) history, and more groundhogs than you can shake a stick at. 1/ #F1

Bad 24 hours, so rather than calling the crisis team, I’ve spent the day doing some gardening. #depression #gardening 1/

Someone is having a lazy #Caturday and is most unapologetic about it. #catsofbluesky

Diazepam is nice.

My grandparents had one. It was caught in a flood, which knocked it down to a 2 cylinder. When I mentioned that it had lost much of its prodigious power, he said: “you’re just used to modern, powerful cars.” Granddad, I own a Rover Mini Cooper. I wouldn’t call that modern or powerful. #weirdcarbs

Introduce yourself with ten bands or acts you’ve seen live. Prince The Rolling Stones Fleetwood Mac Kings of Leon Coldplay Muse AC/DC Zero 7 The Killers Depeche Mode (Bonus: Leonard Cohen) One of the Coldplay gigs was the Closing Ceremony of the London 2012 Paralympic Games. Unforgettable night.

Have you ever seen a more majestic steed than this? Don’t bother responding, we all know the answer is no. #motosky

Doing important shopping.

HS2 on track to cost more than hosting the London 2012 Olympic Games ELEVEN times over; equivalent to £1,500 for EVERY SINGLE PERSON in the UK. And if it is ever finished, will only run at half speed to save money. Is there anything this country can actually achieve? www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/cz...

I just *paid* to promote a post on LinkedIn, in a desperate effort to improve the job search results. I have officially become a LinkedIn Lunatic, and I feel dirty.

Welcome to Japan. #forza

Don’t mind me. 🙄 #catsofbluesky #catsky #mlem

One of the many castles along the marches, built in the 11th century reusing former Roman earthworks, likely a fort. Formed part of English defence against Owain Glyndŵr. Cannonballs from the English Civil War have been found on site, and a gallows operated here until 1790. #history #castle

Think #F1 Race Control is a shitshow? That is the Safety Car in the F4 race at Moscow Raceway this weekend. Yes, it has just pulled onto the racing line as a bunch of youngsters tear around a blind corner at high speed. The FIA is a mess and needs to clear house. #motorsport

I have seen the accidents in the #MotoGP #CatalanGP, and it is a miracle that nobody was killed in each of them. Truly horrendous. Now imagine that, on a street circuit. Adelaide is going to be a disaster, and all because Liberty are chasing the dollar signs. Unconscionable.

Great #N24. I don’t like Max, and I didn’t like (but do understand why) *so much* coverage was devoted to his participation, but he has been an outstanding ambassador for motorsport this week. Hopefully more will follow his lead and try something new. There is more to motorsport than #F1.

Good to see The Observer covering what really matters in Downing Street. ❤️ @number10cat.bsky.social #catsofbluesky

Better female drivers than Danica Patrick: - Sarah Bovy - Doriane Pin - Michelle Gatting - Jamie Chadwick - Michele Mouton - Rachel Frey - Jutta Kleinschmidt - Anny-Charlotte Verney - Lella Lombardi - Desire Wilson - Sabine Schmitz - my mum who doesn’t drive - my 96yo gran - my cat #motorsport #n24

Love (and a fantastic song) wins. ❤️ SOFIA CALLING! 🇧🇬 Thanks Europe. Shit hosts aside, you were great, as always. #ForeverEuropean #eurovision #UnitedByMusic 🇪🇺

GO MOLDOVA! #eurovision #UnitedByMusic 🇪🇺

“Equality looks good on everybody. Music might unite us, but it’s equality that moves us forward.” ❤️ #eurovision #UnitedByMusic 🇪🇺

What happened to Big Ben? Did we sell it or something? #eurovision #UnitedByMusic 🇪🇺

EUROPE CALLING! It’s all downhill for the UK from here. #eurovision #UnitedByMusic 🇪🇺

My top ten. The last few years have been full of such high quality acts, it’s tough to choose! Bulgaria takes it, just because it’s pure Eurovision madness and exactly what the contest should be about. This has been a nice break from a miserable week. Thanks Europe 💙 #Eurovision #UnitedByMusic 🇪🇺

I have never, ever seen a worse hosting duo in the history of Eurovision. It costs about £30m to host the event. All that tourism effort, the signage, the euroclub, the picture postcards… Then they completely phone it in with the most wooden hosts imaginable. Awful. #eurovision #UnitedByMusic 🇪🇺

Congratulations to Italy on qualifying for at least one event this year. 😉 #eurovision #UnitedByMusic 🇪🇺

SALUTE A TUTTI, MOLDOVA IS ON DUTY! 🎵 Loved that. #eurovision #UnitedByMusic 🇪🇺

France clearly ripping off Austria’s entry that won last year. #eurovision #UnitedByMusic 🇪🇺

Time to hide behind the couch… 2022 showed we can do well when we put the effort in. I just wish we would more often. #eurovision #UnitedByMusic 🇪🇺

Gloriously Eurovision. Absolutely nuts. Fucking nuts. Brilliant. #eurovision #UnitedByMusic 🇪🇺
