  1. I could never get the treble right on my hi-fi to copy Spectrum games but never had that problem on the Amiga with good old X-Copy.

  7. Every country was like that until videos (VCRs for Americans) hit the shops as there was no point in broadcasting for people who are asleep. Have you never watched the movie Poltergeist? At 2am the TV plays the US national anthem and then turns into white static as the signal ends for the night, then it eats that wee lassie.

  9. He was always in strange places.. "As you can clearly see I am on Mt. Everest with this friendly chap called Steve." "As you can clearly see I am aboard a soviet hunter-killer submarine with this chap called Ivan." "As you can clearly see I am adrift in the mid-Atlantic and have been for weeks."

  14. Unless you're on your way out you should see people on Mars, if Artemis 2 succeeds (an unmanned orbit of the moon later this year) then NASA plans to have people back on the moon in 2025 aboard Artemis 3, if this happens it will be a huge boost for the space industry, SpaceX already plan to have someone on Mars by 2030 via their Starship vehicle and Elon Musk has already said that the success of the Artemis missions could trigger a lot of investment in space travel, possibly rejuvenating it to 1960's levels.

  15.  @interstat2222  Smart people are all online now watching YouTube or any number of great streaming services like Brilliant or Curiosity Stream, that leaves only the idiots watching regular TV, and idiots have no interest in things like Tomorrow's World - they want to see who will win X Factor or who will get cheated on in Love Island. Which makes me glad I no longer have a TV license.

  28. It was long before the WWW of 1991 but the internet had been around since the early 70's and Teletext actually stunted the adoption of the internet in the UK as Teletext was free from it's inception in 1974 whereas the internet required you to phone numbers that were often on mainland Europe, this meant only rich middle class folks would access the internet before the WWW revolution of the mid-90's.

  30. There are still a smattering of them here and there but nowhere nearly as many as there used to be, they were everywhere, in Dundee the ones in the city all closed or were bought by McDonald's but there's still one at the bowling alley.

  32. Seeing as they voted to flush their economy down the shitter a few years back I would wager that England has a bigger problem with stupidity than the US ever did.

  33. The only thing you took from this video was an excuse to spout some casual racism? I have to admit, I would have preferred to have lived back then too because bigoted clowns like you were few and far between.

  39. Actually DMA Design is now known as Rockstar North. It is their publisher BMG Interactive that is known as Rockstar Games. BMG Interactive was a music label created by Take Two Interactive and managed by the sons (Dan and Sam Houser) of the guy who owned Take Two, the sons decided to start publishing games rather than music and with the money they made from GTA2 they could afford to buy BMG from their dad which they then renamed Rockstar Games, after that they bought DMA Design and named it Rockstar North. They have since bought a dozen other studios and given each of them the 'Rockstar' prefix but the two most successful are Rockstar North in Scotland and Rockstar San Diego in California. Their biggest franchises are GTA, Manhunt and Bully which are developed by North and Red Dead Redemption and Midnight Club which are developed by San Diego. San Diego is also the developer and maintainer of RAGE (Rockstar's Advanced Graphics Engine) which all Rockstar games are based on.

  42.  @rnw2739  To be fair you would also move to another country if the pay was bigger, Wogan had a family to think about and Irish TV networks with around five million potential viewers could never pay as much as the UK with around 65 million. If the US had asked Terry to do a show over there he would have moved in an instant because they have around 330 million. You go where the money is, networks with bigger audiences pay more, that's it. This is the same argument used when a footballer leaves his favourite team for a bigger team, he has to put his financial security over his love for his team, I'm a diehard Dundee FC fan and if I was a footballer it'd be my dream to play for them but if the offer came to earn 200 grand a week at Manchester City I would be stupid not to do it because I could never earn anything remotely close to that at Dundee.

  45. There won't be a one-size-fits-all cure for cancer until we have mastered nanomachines that can tell the difference between the millions of types of healthy cell and the millions of types of damaged cell. So I wouldn't hold my breath.

  47. I would use one hand to rewind the tape quickly like those football clackers you spin with one hand. Occasionally the tape would fly off the end of the pen and maim someone.

  50. Amstrad CPC 6128, it was the successor to the CPC 464 (the more familiar Amstrad with the colourful keyboard).
