It really is hard to overstate how amazing the Gameboy felt in 1989 as an 11 year old. Tetris, Super Mario World, the portability and battery life, all mind blowing for the time.
The few colour handhelds around the same time were impressive sure, but somehow just not it.

I didn't realize until recently that the original Game Boy came out in 1989 and wasn't succeeded by the Game Boy Color until goddamn 1998. That's roughly nine years of black and white portable gaming being the de facto standard!
And I thought the 3DS lasted too long.

The World Cup draw was the most baffling two hours of my life and I once had an Equity and Trusts seminar with raging hangover.

5 year work anniversary today. The deal in my house is when someone celebrates a birthday, everyone gets cake for breakfast. Well, I didn't fancy cake today so I made a birthday focaccia. Which, if it isn't a thing, is now

Wow - this guy must be really, REALLY bad with money if an extra £208 per month will “ruin” his retirement.
Let’s take a look at his situation based on what he told the @Telegraph
Because this does NOT add up!
No, this is not a “poor pensioner” scrabbling around for pennies…

Saw a stall in the Christmas market in Newcastle this week offering Yorkshire Wraps. Thankfully the word ‘pudding’ added context.
I was expecting to meet T’pac Shakur.

For anyone wondering about the magic of work travel, I am currently balancing a laptop and phone on a busy train while Apple Music has decided to serve up 'Snooker Loopy' on shuffle.
What’s the fastest train in Britain? The one that’s trying to arrive under an hour late to avoid triggering a higher delay repay claim.

4 yrs ago today, a family member managed a truly spectacular own goal, splintered his domestic bliss, & in the process, united the world for a day.
On popular request, I shall now recreate the livetweet thread from that day
So gather around children, for this is the tale of The Rice Truck Saga

Train delay repay should be proportionate to journey time.
That’s right, my Avanti train was 14 minutes late.

Will never understand people out and about at this time, but not in a hurry. How? If you are meandering, then you could have had more time in bed!

Me: “No, I’ll be fine. I never end up wearing it”

- Edinburgh Airport to tram and back
- Walking in Edinburgh x 4
Yeah, every time I’ve been outside
