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. British people need to see through this utter scam with which we are living.  British Gas bought the current gas they are flogging when the prices were much cheaper so it is basically a licence to print money. Meanwhile the poor in society choose between heating and heating. Supposedly anyway. I’m sure their gas bills will more than likely be paid by us the taxpayer.

The ice is like broken glass and shows no sign of abating

Hopefully. She'd calculated that o...

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...
