<p>A bloke in the Highlands with an ever decreasing hairline and wind battered face. I spend my days walking at a 45° angle in one direction and running back in the other direction, wildly trying to keep my feet somewhere under my body.</p><p>I moan and comment on geopolitics, occasionally comment on tech / vintage tech, history and post pictures of my dogs to distract from all the depressing news I moan about!</p>

    So much to do but with one pup resting on my feet and the other sly beast getting her big cute ear out, I simply can&amp;#39;t get on with the day. Oh well. 🤷‍♂️ Slave to #DogsOfMastodon #DogsOfPixelfed

    I hope there&amp;#39;s a general election after all this nonsense because I really need to see more of this guy, and I don&amp;#39;t mean Andy. #CountBinface #GeneralElection #Labour #UKPolitics #AndyBurham

    What ever you do with those pictures, don&amp;#39;t make me look stupid! He&amp;#39;s some boy. #DogsOfMastodon #DogsOfPixelfed #Malinois

    Sure I could keep up to date with the rather dull and repetitive news on my laptop, phone or tablet whilst working, but why would I when I have an #analogue tv transmitter and an early 2000&amp;#39;s #Casio pocket tv? Somehow the news feels more important on this thing. Why is that? Even the brain numbing &amp;#39;This Morning&amp;#39; feels important when watched on this thing! 🤷‍♂️🤣 #RetroTech #Retro #Vintage #VintageTech #analog #00s #TV

    @chainq@mastodon.social I love seeing old notes in the game covers, best scores, extra load instructions (c16 games often have mistakes in the covers, wrong joystick ports and things), cheat pokes etc. They remind me of me as a kid doing the same and I wonder where those people are now.

    @humanhorseshoes I couldn&amp;#39;t justify paying for the rubbish I watch! 🤣

    Been in the #mancave today playing #Elite (very bably!) on my expanded #Commodore16 ( #CommodorePlus4 ) . I can&amp;#39;t get over how great this game is, even 40 odd years on. I had played this in the dark and distant past on the school #BBCmicro but think I was too young and didn&amp;#39;t have the time during wet lunch breaks to appreciate it. If I had this at home on my #C16 (I know I couldn&amp;#39;t) I don&amp;#39;t think I&amp;#39;d have ever left the house. So probably a good thing I was...

    We all have that box / drawer / cupboard of junk we never get rid of. Time to get this #ewaste to the #recycling centre. Must admit, it was quite fun looking through the phones at old text messages and names, some from 24 years ago! #Remeniscence #Memories Surprisingly the #Nokia and one of the #LG phones powered up without the need for a charge first. They don&amp;#39;t make &amp;#39;em like they used to!

    After a hard day supervising me working and cleaning up my spare room, the old boy seeks out any bit of sun he can find for a heat! Nothing makes me more sleepy than a sleeping dog. #DogsOfMastodon #DogsOfPixelfed

    @honor2025@mastodon.social Whilst strictly true I guess, the EC had elected representatives and the Maastricht Treaty was passed through the Commons by our democratically elected (first past the post, so not very democratic) great and good. 🙃 Which I believe was opposed by Labour at the time. So it&#39;s not as though the country was just dragged in kicking and screaming. Unlike poor wee Scotland which was dragged out kicking and screaming.

    @thecommongreen If you&#39;re the richest country and have the most powerful military in the world, such rules don&#39;t apply. The US population are the only ones who could prosecute and that won&#39;t happen. In fact, without total military defeat, warcrimes can&#39;t really be prosecuted. The ICC like the UN are about as much use as a chocolate teapot.

    Oh wow. I just accidentally started watching #YouTube without the #Vivaldi #adblocker switched on. First time in ages. How does anyone watch YouTube without an adblocker? It&amp;#39;s so bad now. Perhaps it was just the videos I was watching, but there were soooooo many ads and in the most annoying places. I actually have nothing against adverts in principle, I understand everything costs money and its a business, its just the way they go about it. 😩
