  1. My father (long since retired) was the chief road safety officer for Lancashire and he explained these little anomalies to me some time ago. Basically, it all adds to the 'we 'x' amount of cycle ways in our area'. When you are out and about you'll often see stretches of 'cycleways' which are no more than a few meters long. They all add to the total and paint is cheap. But agreed, that one is a little bizzare!
  2. They hurt to use! The traditional Atari joystick is probably still the benchmark of early console controllers.
  3. Atari paddle controller?
  4. Winners! Yep, it's a ZX Spectrum ROM cart which you had to use the ZX Interface 2 to use. Which hardly anyone bought.
  5. Another clue then...
  6. Close, same era!
  7. Not a Virtual Boy cart, and the platform was very popular back in the day. Only 10 games were released in this format.
  8. Yep, but very few games were ever releaed on that format. Kind of a clue, or a misdirection there
  9. Same for me too.
  10. And another oldie!
  11. I’ve just received an email letting me know that the National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC) and LGfL have released their Cyber Security Schools Audit 2022. You can view the results here - https://national.lgfl.net/security/securityaudit There is also a blog post by the NCSC about this here - https://www.ncsc.gov.uk/blog-post/uk-schools-build-cyber-resilience

  12. Watched Interstellar last night. I'd only seen it once before and I recall it didn't gel with me at the time, largely I suspect because it's a Christopher Nolan film and he demands you pay attention. Put it on last night for the first time in 11 years and loved it! Sometimes it takes a while before you appreciate a film for what it is, but I am now kicking myself for not giving it another watch earlier.
  13. Sadly, it is a myth, although I would love it to be true when I first heard of that years back - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/JATO_Rocket_Car
  14. That could maybe be why, when I phone NFU for a quote this morning they asked me to call back on Monday as they were having an 'IT issue'.
  15. @ICTDirect_Dave may be able to help out here, as they deal with a lot of Lenovo laptops.
  16. Off to the puns thread with you!
  17. Is that so once they have spent tons on making cycleways they can dig them up again?
  18. Wait until someone sees that and has the idea for speed bumps for cyclists!
  19. @jblackburnHWGA You'll be happy to know the Digital Strategy webinar has now been booked and will take place on the 19th Jan at 2pm. You can register for it here - EduGeek.net - EduGeek Webinars - 19th of Jan Onwards
  20. Oh that is sad news. Another legend gone and it seems we are running out of them. Like the recent realisation that there are fewer and fewer movie 'stars', the same goes for the music industry. There are few really big bands left.
  21. You can view the page at https://edugeek.me/article/707
  22. Try searching Amazon or eBay for laptop CPU coolers. I'm a bit busy atm so can't have a good look for you.
  23. Yay! You got it, and your prize is a picture of a 3DO! Don't look at it all at once
  24. Another hint -
