@willmcgugan The first word processor I used was basically a TUI on MS DOS. The computer did not have enough ram for windows. Not the body useful answer I'm afraid.

@CambridgeFibre my internet is down and your website appears to be down. Any update?

[Hamish Downer @hgd20]

@doismellburning Also party way through. Enjoying the form as well as the content 🙂

@ElenaWicker Not military, but can if striped paint. Young lad sent back by the paint shop to ask if they wanted vertical or horizontal striped paint ...

@EuphoricBuffoon Hope the horrible dreams stop soon!

[Hamish Downer @hgd20]

@EuphoricBuffoon I'm not the closest follower of all this, so it's possible I've missed things

[Hamish Downer @hgd20]

@EuphoricBuffoon My understanding is that it was promising in the early days but the energy costs to do it versus other solutions turns out to not be economic. But it still gets lots of support from people who want to continue to pump out CO2 because CCS.

@willmcgugan git blame, to workout who did something. And hopefully some notes about why. (NOT too blame someone.)

[Hamish Downer @hgd20]

@inthecompanyof Not even socks! What will your family buy you at Christmas?!?

[Hamish Downer @hgd20]

@Samfr I think some fitting community service would be better. Maybe cleaning in an old person's home, no headphones, listening to the music that generation liked?

@AnnaClarke_____ @RosieP4 The amount of land used for biofuels is massive and unnecessary

[Hamish Downer @hgd20]

@AnnaClarke_____ @RosieP4 How about we stop using land for biofuels like rapeseed oil, use some for solar, some for housing and the rest for nature. https://t.co/YysCSn426Q

[Hamish Downer @hgd20]

Ah, someone did that at some point. On to the next session!

[Hamish Downer @hgd20]

Unhappy child here too. @phoenixcomicuk #phoenixfest2024

[Stuart Goddard @RoostersStu]

@phoenixcomicuk are you having tech issues with #phoenixfest2024 ? No livestream for the last 40 mins here and one sad subscriber!!

[Hamish Downer @hgd20]

Be nice to have something on screen saying "back at x o'clock"

[Hamish Downer @hgd20]

@phoenixcomicuk when will the live stream resume? I have an impatient child here keen to see more!

[Hamish Downer @hgd20]

@PhilRodgers Be interested to know the sample sizes for each drink choice.

[Hamish Downer @hgd20]

Glad to hear @BBCMoreOrLess covering the big election issues - the croissant price cap proposed by @CountBinface 🥐💲🧢🗑️🙂

[Hamish Downer @hgd20]

@OwenWntr @RalphBlackburn @inglesp Be interesting to see whether greens or conservatives are third though.

[Hamish Downer @hgd20]

@OwenWntr @RalphBlackburn @inglesp Pretty light campaign in Cambridge (I'm a resident). The county seats are being fought over much harder. Everyone here assumes Labour will hold early so I guess many will "vote with their heart" so actual percentage could be anywhere.
