I was bought the Amstrad SM104 for Christmas 1985 by an ex. It didn't last long. The Amstrad.

Also! You've reminded me that seemingly half of showjumping horses in the 80s were called Sanyo Something or Other.

I moved to Chiswick last year. The 94 bus starts 50 yards from my door and ends at Piccadilly Circus. Chiswick Park, Turnham Green and South Acton stations are all within 10 minutes' walk. I'm 60 so have a 60+ Oyster Card. I'm aware I don't know I'm born.

Your mention of Auxerre just now reminded me: do you remember a couple of the Paul Rideout-era English schoolboys being affiliated with Auxerre?

Let's just take a moment to reflect on the self-sacrifice and hope this person embodies - not the evil, hateful monsters thirsting for violence.

My husband @mjowen174.bsky.social is very down.
He’s struggling to find any work at the moment.
He’s a brilliant writer and has written for Dangermouse, Private Eye and many more…

If you need a writer have a look at his website and please repost.
