One of my favourite UK daytime TV shows is one where middle aged (and older) rich people buy houses in the countryside.

It's aimed at right wing, house price obsessed, retired people.

Every third couple is gay.

The show always describes them as "lifelong friends".

Like, I've got friends I've known for most of my life. I've never considered buying a house in the Cotswolds and moving in with them...

Can't eat the rich if you can't reach the rich.

Watch out be like everything else in wow and be used for one expansion and then forgotten about.

Fun fact. Coal plants release more radioactive materials than nuclear plants.]

Except the ones that blew up. Those ones were extra spicy.

Seems to be just photovoltaics and spinny things.

Thank fuck. Can we have cheaper graphics cards again please?

I'm sure a RTX 4090 is very impressive, but it's not £1800 impressive.

Last time I thought about static I wondered why colour TV didn't show colour static.

Turns out the colour signal was on very specific frequencies, and if it wasn't present, it would assume it was a black and white signal and turn off the colour circuit.

It will be posthumous at best. That orange leather lump ain't lasting four years, even if he did plan to step down at the end of it.

Well they only need to do the first part of that.

I think they're more likely to have been scrapped than other old tech.

They're bulky, and mine was too heavy to get out in the attic. I still have my ZX Spectrum and Amiga, but the CRT needed for lightgun games is long gone.
