The Grand National

 I boycott the Grand National and all racing for two reasons. 

1- it’s animal cruelty. 

2- it glorifies gambling- which ruins lives

ZX Spectrum 128k R Tape Loading Error The amount of times my 8 year old self was haunted by the message 'R Tape Loading Error' is actually criminal. The ZX Spectrum 128k tape loader was my very first computer- and maybe due to its primitive nature, the reliability was a little, let's say... off. My parents bought it when I was approximately aged 3, however why I would use it at this age is completely beyond me. Apparently I used to pull it out from the behind the sofa, plug it into the mains, plug the adapter into the TV set and at least get the blurry start up screen on. I have written about the ZX Spectrum before and my love hate relationship with it before.  You can read that article here  at least it shows I actually have abiding memories on the topic.  Watch a real R Tape Loading Error ZX Spectrum 128k tape loader breakage worries My main fear with the ZX Spectrum 128k, obviously after I was three years old ( I have a three year old currently and even though he is cl...

Utter scam from British Gas- when will people wake up?

-
 It is getting so cold at night but those miserable bastards at British Gas and the government see fit to charge people literally the same amount as a modest second mortgage just to pay gas bills.

Rent worries

-
 So this was a tough day. I HAVE to rent a house out- it's not because I want to be a property mogul. I definitely do not. It does not align with my beliefs to own a house that I don't live in. Anyway this house has cost me a fortune and today was no different. Numerous jobs to pay for and late rental payments. When these things are added up it equals massive stress for me. I'm just not cut out for this kind of thing- I can't stand the worry. I am very glad that hopefully it will be gone soon.  Anyway. Never mind about that, I had a lovely walk next to the brook this evening. The sun was beautifully low which creates some amazing light. Especially when it shines through the flowers and tall grasses. It makes me feel happy. This happiness is multiplied when I am listening to my fave 90s songs. Walking really is something I like. It took away all of the worries mentioned earlier on. The Lightning Seeds are a group that need revision. They are amazing.
