@MissHubnut Ice blocks. They are compact and won't melt like ice cubes.

@Tezmondo74 Looks like he was better with the bricks in real life than in the game.

@nationalrailenq That's exactly what I did. I filled out the online form, but my request for a refund was rejected because train ran for part of the route (but not the part that I wanted).

...and they're off! 754 of the worst of the Spectrum (according to the reviews of the day and users of WoS)...but which is the worst of the worst?

@APartridgeQOTD Pintless - playing the six foot seven Richard Osman, you have to search the pubs of London looking for the last drop of beer in the city.

I bet you £13456324567 pound you didn't read that number, you just skipped right over it. You didn't even notice I put a letter in it. No I didn't but you went back and looked. This tweet deserves a like.

Over on my other Twitter channel, the Best of Newsfield cup has started - the eight best covers of Crash, Zzap! and Amtix take each other on, but which will emerge victorious?

@lazylovelace @SpeccyWorldCup Over on my other Twitter channel, it's going to be "Best of Newsfield" which will put the top eight Crash, Zzap and Amtix up against each other, but on here, I've got something in mind...

@SpeccyWorldCup @JohnDaviesIndo Probably best to treat them separately, otherwise you get involved with all the other companies they owned, such as Lothlorien and Bug-Byte, and it all gets a bit messy.

@OldSchoolBooks1 Thanks very much. To be honest, I've really enjoyed doing this, and started rooting for Cisco Heat towards the end. Shame Show Jumping and Great Fire of London didn't make it further.
