If you are abusing sweet free wifi then my money is on the Minster Arms.
Otherwise you are in the public toilets on Cook Row

I meant create our new wonders. Almost anything but the concentration on minimalist, utilitarian, functional instant shite... I'm not doing the research for this, I wouldn't be caught dead in one, but as a burial place for BoJo and the current government this would be good: Mausoleum at Halicarnassus

If it's as a burial place for BoJo, i'm sticking with my previous choice of the public toilets in Cook Row.

The man in the Wall. Technically it looks to be in Knobcrook though.

I'd like to watch crankcaller trying to get the IT system updated in the Library at Alexandria.

Demo scene stuff is the best. Never really saw any of the Amiga stuff, but the pc stuff... whilst loading warez and infecting my rig with viruses was great. 4 stars. I've never got into this stuff myself. Perhaps I need a demo scene conversion. Ha ha ha. Very good. And now I've responded to it, everyone will know that I'm clever enough to understand the Biblical reference.

Morning!
Knob chat ey?
Knobcrook.
Well, as per Kanepedia:
A shepherd's crook is a long and sturdy stick with a hook at one end, often with the point flared outwards, used by a shepherd to manage and sometimes catch Sheep2. In addition, the crook may aid in defending against attack by predators.
So historically, the people of Knobcrook used to flail their flocks and sometimes intruders, with their wangers, hence Knobcrook.
Your welcome.

I'd like to watch crankcaller trying to get the IT system updated in the Library at Alexandria. I've farmed it out to the ISIS lads. They tendered with their work at University of Mosul library.

PC demos are visually impressive, but I always marvel at the sheer skill required to achieve the techniques they manage on a 7.14MHz 68000 processor in an Amiga 500. Here’s a recent one which I’m quite taken with:

What biblical reference?

I think it's the one with the Tortoise and the Hare, by J. R. R. Aesop.

Can someone give Christ a break. He wrote a damn good book. He was the JK Rowling of his day.

What is the biblical punishment for making fish puns, wasn't there a king or someone who was rubbed the wrong way by them? Picked up a cold the day after flu jab, now not allowed into office until smiling and happy again.
