A middle-aged nerd from the UK. I like films and write about them, sometimes for Film Stories or my blog.
Have a great day.
I’m not sure of the negatives, but I’ve heard that a one-off wealth tax, that is taxing the top 1% earners a single 1% would bring in £25bn to the treasury. Problem solved, £3bn left over.
I only discovered it myself in the last month or so.
For example, I loved X-Wing CD edition back in the day for the real Star Wars soundtrack but I need to try it with MT32 midi emulation. I bet the iMuse system sounds fantastic.
It’s an emulator for playing the entire back catalogue of Lucasarts games. It’s very well documented and ready to use. As I said, if you had some kind of general midi set up or Roland MT32 back in the day, you’d be laughing. The music is awesome.
The program is called Dreamm.
DREAMM is a backronym for:
DOS
Retro-
Emulation
Arena for
Maniac
Mansion (and other LucasArts Games).
I played the first, maybe not all the way through, on my Atari ST. Later on, I got quite annoyed that the Amiga got the sequel but Lucasfilm Games days it wasn’t coming to the Atari.
I remember getting the PC CD-ROM edition of the original game and the music was lovely.
The next time I played was game three, Curse of Monkey Island. I loved the art style and completed that one.
I plan on playing the latest installment at some point. I downloaded it onto my Xbox.
There’s also a great program for playing old Lucasfilm faces on PC. You can load soundbanks into it because it can emulated different midi interfaces that I dreamed of owning back in the day. The tunes sound amazing.
I think I’ve just found my next watch. It looks more useful than my current Fitbit Versa. Thank you for bringing it to my attention.
Good. The more renewable energy the better!
Sorry mate, still blue by about 1500 odd votes.
I don’t want to see Reform get any seats really when it’s filled with people like this.
They’re just a live action version of the Daily Mail. They only believe immigrants and trans people are a problem because Farage and his crew tell them so. Otherwise I bet those groups of people have barely any impact on their daily lives whatsoever.
I’m not too far away and I’m hoping the area has some common sense, it’s always blue here as well. Although my wife said many votes have been lost as some people didn’t know about voter ID. Bloody Tories, it hasnt helped here though has it!
The Tories have already introduced ID for voter fraud that was non existent and taken away most of the power from the Electoral Commission. It wouldn’t surprise me. 😆
In terms of postal votes, it’s estimated there will be around 10m in total, a 20% increase on 2019.
Catching up on James O’Brien episodes today and he mentions a poll that asked both sides what are the issues important to them.
In both Labour and the Tory results, transgender issues aren’t shown. It’s the media trying to whip up people in a frenzy.
Hello everyone, please vote. Here’s my tiny little bit of useful information. Even though voting closes at 10pm, if your in a queue leading up to to that time, you will still be allowed to vote.
Fingers crossed.
Back in the early 90s, here in the UK, a company called Cheetah produced licensed joysticks based on Batman, Terminator, Alien³ and The Simpsons. They looked great but they were terrible to use, especially the Alien³ model which I really liked but was incredibly uncomfortable. I never bought one, just tried then on the shops, awful things.
Back in the day, I bought the official Xbox360 steering wheel. It made me laugh because it was called wireless. It was only wireless between itself and the Xbox. It still needed a power brick to drive the motor and another wire to connect it to the pedals.
When I sold it, I almost made my money back because it was in high demand. MS had replaced it with that awful U shaped steering wheel that you held in the air like a Wii controller. It used sensors to tell when it was tilted. I never used one but the reviews weren’t favourable as I remember.
Some of the voters are a bit scary too. I keep hearing a clip from LBC where some asks Starmer if he would’ve been in Corbyn’s cabinet.
Starmer kicked Corbyn out. That’s years ago. Why are you still trying to link the two people still now.
Finally, who are the 20% that would still vote Tory? Rich business people with no ethics?
Apparently my area will get a lean Labour win. I bloody hope so, my Tory MP is useless. Aren’t they all?
Rishi may have the brains to run a company (maybe) but his public interaction of any kind is atrocious. I listened to the full five-minute apology, and it sounded utterly false. Every time he speaks, not just this apology, you can tell it has been scripted, especially when he’s asked a question, and he replies with the identical repetition of something he’s already said.
The amount of times he said the same sentence about the fact the itinerary was already set weeks ago. So you were always planning to leave early? I hope some evidence turns up to prove that he allegedly wasn’t going to go to France at all. This is what the French government were told a few weeks ago, apparently.
Finally, don’t make this political!? Too fucking late mate.
The Daily Mail has the answer. I’ve clicked the link so you don’t have to.

The woman who hurled a milkshake over Nigel Farage as he launched his campaign to become an MP is a Jeremy Corbyn-supporting OnlyFans model who hails from a family of Brexiteers, MailOnline can reveal.
Victoria Thomas-Bowen, 25, was arrested by police on suspicion of assault after she drenched the new Reform leader as he stepped out of a Wetherspoons in Clacton, Essex.
Dramatic pictures show how the mother-of-one dodged Mr Farage’s burly minders before flinging the contents of a McDonald’s cup towards him. It caught him full in the face.
Mr Farage, who previously dubbed Clacton the ‘most patriotic’ town in Britain, merely wiped his eyes and continued.
Speaking from his home in nearby Jaywick, her Brexit-voting brother Paul told MailOnline: ‘I have just seen it, and to be honest, I’m appalled. I don’t know where she is. I don’t want anything to do with her.’
Despite posting a video on X with the caption ‘my milkshake brings all the people to the rally’ in reference to the 2003 song Milkshake, Farage admitted it was ‘quite frightening’.

The incident has led to wide condemnation from MPs all across the political spectrum including Labour’s Yvette Cooper who called it a ‘disgrace’ and ‘completely unacceptable and wrong’.
But Thomas-Bowen, who films her x-rated video clips in the spare bedroom of her mother’s £260,000 house in Grays, told the BBC she flung the banana milkshake because she ‘just felt like it’.
‘He doesn’t stand for me’, the self-described ‘petite blonde pocket rocket’ added. ‘He doesn’t represent anything I believe in, or any of the people around here. He doesn’t represent us, he’s not from here.’
She previously voiced her support for Jeremy Corbyn on Facebook and called for Britons to boycott the late Queen’s Diamond Jubilee.
Last November, the model flew out to Istanbul for a nose job.
She told her subscribers she underwent the procedure to make her nose ‘smaller’ and ‘prettier’.
Posting pictures of her recovery - and showing off the difference before and after - Thomas-Bowen said she loved her new nose ‘so much’ and was already breathing better.
‘My milkshake brings all the people to the rally!’ Farage jabs back
Mr Farage was flanked as usual by burly security as he left a pub, but they could do nothing as the women flung the contents of what appeared to be a McDonald’s cup towards him
They’re was a lot more but I think you get the gist. It was mostly pro farage stuff.
How the fuck was that man not jumped on by the media (I can’t remember if this was post or pre vagina grabbing) when he mocked that disabled journalist! I thought that would’ve been the end, but no one seemed to care!
