Better half got me a pitch view room at Old Trafford for the ODI at the end of June. Sitting getting pished on the balcony all day then falling into bed at the end of it, fucking glorious. Mind you knowing Manchester it will rain all sodding day.

Jumper.
Shirts.
Undies.
Socks.
Vinyl albums.
Books.
3 aftershaves.
Various grooming stuff.
NCIS season 13
Gig tickets.

Also got money from my aunts. Absolutely nothing I want to spend it on - I'm grateful for all my gifts and don't need or want to go out spending on anything else - so the money will give me a cracking start to my saving for my next holiday to Mannheim.

Oh aye.... I'd the amstrad 464 but most of my mates had the spectrum, does it still takes cassettes or is it disks or downloads/apps?

It's basically a replacement keyboard. Connects to any Bluetooth device with a screen (phone, tablet, computer, etc), and there's an app you run on the device that emulates a Spectrum. It'd be utterly shit and pointless if it didn't look remarkably close to the original machine; you wouldn't know the difference unless you looked at the back, as it doesn't have all the ports, or if you picked it up, as it's noticeably lighter. You can literally use it as a replacement keyboard for your PC at work if you want  :lol:

Think I'll probably connect it to my PC and relive Christmas 1988 to make the wean's head explode:

Rubber keys?

You bet your ass it's got rubber keys! Every bit as shit as they were thirty years ago.

I may never use another keyboard again  :wub:

C5 next year?

Mmm...they came out three years later, so I'll have to wait for 2020 for one of those.

I look forward to seeing how they emulate the appalling battery performance. Maybe get some of the Apple boys on board?
