@grim_fandango Possibly! It's a long time ago so my recollection is a bit hazy but let me take a look at the podcast. I'm currently at ringing practice at Sunbury Church tower!
@grim_fandango @teletextr I remember the name. It is 35+ years ago!!
Look at this - holidays on teletext almost from the very start! Packed it, booked it... (1978)
@grim_fandango I worked on Ceefax and installed the teletext systems in Austria (subtitling), Chicago and Cincinnati. I upgraded Ceefax from 2 lines to 4 lines at TV Centre in White City. ORF Teletext airport page was fed by Vienna Airport arrivals and departures and was more up-to-date than the airport system displays so in the end they put some TV monitors on the Teletext page at the airport. ๐
โCan we have our marbles back?โ
โJeeze, weโd forgotten we had them! Sure here you go. โ
How normal countries behave.
Yes but the Tories have to defend their values :- theft, greed and arrogance. How dare any reasonable person confront them.
@sirenoftitan
The Tories are just trying to defend their indefensible principles of theft, greed and arrogance - the country has had enough of this now.
"โYes. The Greeks have only gone and decided that their decades-old policy of wanting the sculptures returned to the Parthenon is still their policy now. Can you believe it? What a bunch of shits.โ" John Crace
@JackTheCat You'd have to be one of their mates for that to happen. Do you really want to admit to being one of them?
@julie Hi Julie, do you mind if I as you how much you understand of each other when you and Muireann speak in your own native Gadhlig/Gaeilge. I know it's easier for Ulster Irish but she is Corca Dhuibhne so I am wondering? I learned Munster Irish to a basic level in school 50 years ago but am by no means fluent.
We promised you ยฃ350m a week for the NHS on that stupid bus. We lied and broke that promise. We promised you HS2. We lied and I've just broken that promise. Here are ten new random promises, I know you're too stupid to put two and two together.๐คฌ
@charlesroper @kissane I use the Qoto instance specifically because they have implemented a Domain list feature which means I can also monitor the federated feeds from a number of geo based servers without needing to join each.
This week, I went over to Bluesky and asked people who'd left Mastodon why they left, and lots of people told me. I grabbed the replies and crunched them and wrote up a summary. I think it's really interesting and often kind of wrenching.

Amazing and fascinating evening at Ankerwycke yesterday with the archaeological team and Toby who is clearly a well trained dig-dog! They've now mapped the C12 nunnery and the C16 Tudor manor house which was built after dissolution. Prof Alice Roberts was filming there earlier in the day so fingers crossed for something on Digging for Britain in the autumn.

Twitter is eX. Dead. Gone. ๐
Please don't send flowers.
@peterdrake @freemo @drewfer the article has UK spelling (licence) and tummy is perhaps more commonly used as a synonym for stomach in the UK.
Anna Muzychuk is champion & queen of chess. She refused to play in Saudi Arabia.โI refuse to play with special rules, like wearing an Abaya, being accompanied by a man to leave the hotel. Will lose 2 world titles. Itโs unfortunate, but I canโt feel like Iโm a 2nd class person.
#introduction
Hello again! I am a not-so-tech-savy almost retired counsellor who has been on another server since December after leaving wacky twitter-land.
Looking to connect with Canadians, prairie folk (Saskatchewan settler) and Saskatoon people. I love nature, photography, gardening, music, traveling, grandchildren and justice oriented politics. Grateful to be an ally living on Treaty 6 and homeland of the Metis.
Appreciate any boosts as I restart!
