🚨 *SPOILER ALERT* 🚨
Anyone notice The Housecleaner episode of #TheCleaner shares a few plot points from 1977 Disney film Candleshoe, where David Niven maintains the facade that a stately home still has a full staff by dressing up as each one of them?

@RMCRetro That’s gorgeous! My Xmas present to myself was re-buying some of my childhood Lego

@mrbiffo How bizzare!
My mum doesn’t normally shop at Lidl.

@Battlefield @EA @EA_DICE You’re anti-cheat is an absolute nightmare.
I’d rather just deal with cheaters than be booted every half an hour.
Especially when my entire setup consists of a laptop and an off the shelf wired controller!

Very much enjoyed @bbcdoctorwho overall tonight, some fabulous performances particularly from Yasmin Finney @Yazdemand.
If that young lady isn’t companion material I don’t know who is, bravo!
Wilfred tho 🥺❤️

@craig1black the Mitsubishi monitor in your latest second channel video will be recognisable to many Brits who were kids in the mid-late 80’s.
They were used on the RM Nimbus 186 PCs that largely replaced the BBC Micro in British schools.

@dwkos I’m just going to say, THAT recipe from Jolly Rogers Cookbook and if you know you know 😂

After tagging @RMCRetro and @computermuseum in a post about printers a couple of weeks ago, mentioning I’ve been looking for my first printer for decades, I bloody well found one!

@AnnekaRice Those seven miles to Chiswick are hard going to be fair.

@RMCRetro Need!

@RMCRetro @morefunmakingit I have one of it’s direct competitors from the same year, Dan were actually outselling Dell in the UK for a short time before vanishing in to oblivion in the very early 00s

@RMCRetro @Arcade_Archive @MarkFixesStuff @STompyRR Back in the 80’s when Butlin’s still had cable cars.

[Mick Hayes @mick_aka]

@RMCRetro @computermuseum The Laserjet 4 is a fantastic call, they were so ubiquitous at one point, they’d stir up so many memories.

[Mick Hayes @mick_aka]

Having spent years searching for my first printer I have to wonder if places like @computermuseum actively preserve printers?
Or lack of public interest in such a mundane area of computing making it uneconomic?
@RMCRetro would you accept printers in the cave?

@JudgeDrokk @RMCRetro The best Amiga era joystick, the adjustable stick stiffness was a game changer.
