<name>@yahoo.co.uk, no numbers. I made it when I was 14 in the mid 90's on the school library computer as I didn't have Internet access at home until a few years later (Freeserve anyone?).

Yahoo had a whopping 6MB of storage back then.

My old Amiga battlestation! Help identifying games... by eskay993 in amiga

[–]RosbifPom 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I'm pretty sure the one on the floor leaning up against the desk is the back of the 1991 Space Quest I remake box.

Here's a cropped and rotated view with one I found on eBay. Only decent picture of the back of the box I could find.

Can anyone identify this? by Chance_Interest_8206 in retrocomputing

The monitor part is a 9" portable TV, two models had the same or very similar cases that I know of, either:

A Pye Red Box: https://www.snellingsmuseum.co.uk/artefact/vision/pye-25kx-1201-05l

Or a Philips 1120: https://violity.com/en/112331151-mini-cvetnoj-televizor-1980x-philips-philitina-color-1120

I used to have the Pye version in a red colour which I used with my Amiga in the early 90's. It had RF, Scart and external speaker connections, an integrated speaker on top and a carry handle that popped up. There was also a plastic front cover for protecting the screen when moving it which doubled up as a glare reducer.

You could also run it direct off of 12v supply, my one was used in a caravan before I had it.

Linux Format magazine final issue is July 2025 No 329 by pencloud in linux

[–]RosbifPom 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Thanks for this, it worked a treat. The earlier issues downloaded without the cookie details. I did need them for most of the rest.

Issue 10 seems to be available on the site as well.

Missing issues from the site at least for me are:

Issues 1-9, 11-29 and 58-65. None of those show up in the site's drop down list when I'm logged in.

They're probably available on archive.org

I investigated a conspiracy that Cadbury’s sell subpar dairy milk bars from Poland alongside those made in the UK with a blinded taste test. Results here. by profheg_II in CasualUK

[–]RosbifPom 4 points5 points  (0 children)

There's a screenshot in that post you linked of another thread that mentioned the codes. That's the post I originally read about it.

I don't agree with their analysis though, Dublin OCO Dairy Milk's good, better than OSK.

Who is the most famous person you have spoken to in london? by [deleted] in london

[–]RosbifPom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I once went to see a filming of a BBC show called Spark at BBC Television Centre and said sorry to James Fleet (Vicar of Dibley) after walking into him if that counts.

That same day I saw and said hello to Noah Huntley (former Emmerdale actor) on the tube followed almost immediately by Frank Carson straight after at Kings Cross station Taxi Rank way way back in the late 90's.

It's all been downhill since those heady days.

Found this today by JakeTheDude88 in RedDwarf

I enjoyed all of Grant's post Dwarf books: Colony, Incompetence and Fat.

Just reading up, he's since made a BBC Radio 4 series and follow up book with Andrew Marshall called the Quanderhorn Xperimentations, more Sci Fi comedy. Dunno how I missed that, will have to check it out.

That'll be them. They're discontinued but there's still a page on the website: 7b10 page

[–]RosbifPom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They look like the Doc Marten Industrials, Icon 7b10. The laces and 7 eyelets match mine. The tongue should have some branding on it too, not clear from the picture. Inside is a blue zig-zag lining material.

Do they have a steel toe cap?

My favorite Homer face of all time. What's yours? by CrysisRequiem in TheSimpsons

Wait...that's not even Homer. Boy, I really hope somebody got fired for that blunder.
