I have to have covers, absolutely hate my back being uncovered if nothing else. Some sort of blanket or sheet is essential to get to sleep.

6, always 6.

Ostensibly

I vaguely recall the decimal ha’penny. I am old.

No, because the £ didn’t change, it was just divided up differently.

A pre-decimal £ is the same as a decimal £.

You could technically still pay in Shillings until they redesigned the 5p.

I’ve just given this a quick try in Windows (sorry, didn’t want to infect Linux with MS stuff) and… it’s pretty good.

I might install it in Linux although I’ll probably still use nano.

What always disturbs me, and it seems worryingly prevalent on The Apprentice, is drawn-on eyebrows.

The Zero 2W is cheaper and pretty much the same spec as the Pi 3.

Just cat doing cat things.

Yes, you only know what you’ve experienced. If everything’s blurry, that’s normal.

I know when I got my glasses, the optician said to look across the road with my glasses on. There was a brick wall the other side and I could see it clearly. I was amazed and said as much.

In junior school I lost my pencil (because this was so long ago I’m not sure how that happened). Teacher told me to look for it rather than just giving me a replacement. I looked everywhere, under everything, and I didn’t stop looking for it because, well, what else was I supposed to do?

Anyway I got told off for that even though that’s what I’d been told to do.

I definitely got a ruler to the bottom in that class (in front of everyone) although I’m not 100% sure it was for that incident.

(Actually I’m English so that’s not my language, I just happened to know that one in Welsh)

Haha, maybe I should? And the banner?

Yes, he’s not going to get very far skateboarding on grass!

I did put alt text on but I’m not sure how many clients support it (I know Connect does because I requested it).

Oops! I got the domain wrong. It should be !plus4@retrolemmy.com (I have other communities on lemmings.world and got mixed up)

You should be able to use the Compose key on Linux for easy typing of accented characters. eg. Compose ’ e = é

My second computer (actually a C16 but they’re pretty much the same). I moderate !plus4@lemmings.world retrolemmy.com although it’s not very active.

Sinclair ZX81. Eventually upgraded to… hold onto your hats… 16K.
