@CheekyC64Gamer @AnnatarTheMaia Yeah, except the standard loading routine on the 1541s / C74 kernal was awful. I mean really awful. So loading anything game size still took ages. Not C2N ages, but, ages....

Bit of C64 truth…
🇬🇧 UK = tapes 📼
⏳ Long loads, rewinds, praying it didn’t crash 😅

Same machine… totally different experience 🕹️
(And yeah… some had cartridges 😏🎮)

It’s been a full year since I started this account.
Got the idea after being inspired by the absolute legend @IfindRetards, so I thought I’d do a UK version.
Never in a million years did I think it’d take off like it has.
Big thanks to Retard Finder for being a top bloke and letting me share this space with him.
Honestly, I can’t thank you lot enough the follows, the likes, the reposts, the endless wanker suggestions and the tags in comments. It’s been a right laugh from start to finish and it’s people like you that make it all worthwhile.
Like most on here I get plenty of shit thrown my way. Even though I’m a British expat, even though I speak in spaces, even though proper patriots like @HoodedClaw1974 and @KevinTheRanter have met me in the flesh—blokes who are out on the streets day in, day out fighting for this country!
Some still reckon I’m a foreign bot or a fake account.
But do you know what? I couldn’t give a toss, Wankers are universal.
I know exactly who I am. I know what I stand for. I’m a British patriot who cares deeply about this country and hates what state it’s been allowed to fall into.
We all have our good days and bad days on this platform. Sometimes it feels like we’re pissing in the wind, fighting a losing battle. But we’ve got to keep at it for what we believe in.
So to all my followers and supporters: if you still rate my content, my views and my takes, I’ll keep finding wankers… and you keep finding them too!
Cheers, everyone. 🍻
Much love and respect. ♥️

@ajcdeane Welcome to the Public sector. No results required. Gravy train a definite. 🤦
English

We have spent £180m on plans for a tunnel under Stonehenge.
The project is now scrapped.
You can be for a tunnel & think spending is a good idea (even if you think the cost of planning is silly).
You can be against a tunnel & think spending is a bad idea.
But *nobody* can be for spending on this scale with zero result.
And yet that is a peculiarly British outcome.
Nobody will be reprimanded. Nobody will see their career affected.
But that’s £180m of taxpayer money just wazzed up the wall. Totally without repercussions.
Multiply this by airport expansions & train route plans and Thames crossings and power stations and other examples you can think of yourself, and… soon you’re talking serious money.

@gordoslair Ots a bargain. But, I bet at least one of those MT rams is duff. Forget recapping, thats pointless on these boards. RAM is socketed so, try them first. PLA falls on its arse as well, but, Id go with that ram first.

I just picked up a crusty #C64 from my local game shop for $20. Condition unknown. Sounds like a steal? but will it work? #Commodore64

@ToonDazza @comicrelief Yeah, Ill be giving ot a miss. Much better ways to support charities without propping up the huge salaries of Comic Relief employees.... 🤦
English

@comicrelief 'Red Nose Day' is tomorrow evening - personally id rather dip my nuts in boiling hot fat than watch that woke illegal immigrant supporting bollocks.
Anyone else boycotting it?

@pub_that @Ed_Miliband He's an enormous tool. I can't believe that he actually states this stuff and believes it. 🤦
English

Would like thank @Ed_Miliband for saving thousands of pubs today with the answer to all our woes…we just serve warm beer!! Why in all our years of experience did we never think that we could just turn the cellar cooling and fridges off to mitigate being taxed the shit out of!
English

@lady_valor_07 Weetabix. They work with both hot and cold milk. Does that count?
English

A parable:
Ed had a plot of land, He harvested its crops.
But when crops were in worldwide short supply he poured paraquat over his land. Nothing could grow.
He said 'don't worry..I can always buy from my neighbours!'
But then his neighbours said 'Sorry Ed. We have none to spare for you. We need them ourselves'
And Ed starved. But he didn't understand why.

@otokyo__ We've seen enough crap to know what matters. And what doesn't. That's how you stay wise. 👍

@364690 I live in a small terraced cottage, as do my immediate neighbours, most of the residents of nearby villages &, indeed, most people in South Wiltshire.
500 ltrs of oil in January cost £285. Latest quote is over £700.
You haven't a clue & make yourself look callous & uninformed.
English

Just lower national insurance rates and threshold, lower minimum wage rates and get rid of the crazy apeshit bonkers latest Employees rights bill amendments and things will repair themselves. £3k is nothing, it costs at least £20k to start someone from the bottom and not every small business can afford that. In fact, very few can.
If Rachel from accounts had run more than a bath, she'd understand that. But none of them have. 🤦
English

Except that no one seems to realise that 15% of a million pound income is more than a 15% of £10k or £100k.
There'd be a lot more income for the government if they simplified everything, then no one would try to to dodge it. IMO, no tax until £20k and then a flat rate of 20% of any income after that, regardless of amount....
Or is that too simplistic?
English

@LeeHurstComic Cue lots of people screaming that this mean the wealthy will pay less…
English

IDEA
How about we set a legal, simplified tax rate.
15% for everyone on all their income.
No personal allowance.
Just a flat rate of 15%.
Then…
The government can only spend that much. No more.
It has to live within its means.
How about that?
Maybe we can the. pay off the debt and then cut the 15% rate further.
Sounds like a plan to ne.

@LucyTCWife @Free_ByTheSea @trapdoor456 Yup, but not surprising from the current asshats in charge.. 🤦
English

@rhayadercompute @C64Discord Oh yes. That's the program that convinced me to beg my parents for a 64. The rest, as they say, is history. 👍❤️

@JudgeDrokk Indeed. Even more so, as it is Monday tomorrow. And I'm blue about that.
