Video games

This was the first video game I ever owned.



Well ... the one we had was a clone - a white plastic case instead of the wood veneer finish, but exactly the same four games and graphics (and yes there are subtle difference between this and others which I can identify!)

The game called Handball on the American version was called Squash/Handball on ours. The one we had might have also been called "TV Fun" but I can't remember who made it, it was someone like Binatone (but not them)

It was in white moulded plastic with two paddles and probably came from Romford Market. The above ad was from JC Penney in 1976; we probably got ours the same time.

Magnus Carlsen v Bill Gates

Just love this clip. Nice of NRK to do their shows in English too.

Ello Ello Ello, What's All This Then?

The Met Police's team after 27 Ryman League games this season.

Edit: Have been asked if they play their home games at Letsbee Avenue.

Spotify upset me today

and this is why. I don't think Spotify really knows me at all.
