You prune, you should have stuck it on here. I would have probably snuck on a bid.

You fucking prick.

I had a ZX-81 when I was yoof. I think I got the 16k expansion pack for it too. I remember getting me mum to sit there for hours and type in those lines of code on the back of the magazines to produce some shitty game. It was shit - there is no flossing over the fact, nor getting misty-eyed over the Spectrum. Yuk. My Amstrad CPC464 on the other hand, now that was a real MAN's computer.

There is actually a guy who owns a shop next door who deals in all the retro stuff he has plenty of this stuff - spectrums, atari's, old Nintendos, c64's etc plus all the games - you guys into it would love his treasure trove.

Those places usually charge well above the norm, still would be cool to have a look.

Want to get me his shop number?

He's kinda a street trader so I don't know even what his shop name is (if he even has one - trust me he's unique!). I'm friendly with him if you want me to ask him anything in particular?

See what I can't stand.

This 'we love vintage consoles' thing.

Nostalgia should be kept to pub chat.

Surely it's more than nostalgia if the games are actually enjoyable?

It is just Ian doing an "Ian" as far as i can see, i wouldn't worry about it.
