Retrogaming. Daft witterings. https://linktr.ee/bpharoah.co.uk All views are my own, and let's face it, who else could they belong to? I probably won't follow back if your timeline is heavily political. No offence, I just want happy retrogaming vibes!
People who advertise items for sale online, and take pictures of said items placed upon their knees? What's that all about?!
Pointless inventions with good intentions: 1. Those stupid lids on bottles of coke, etc. that stay attached and get all up in your grill when you're trying to drink. 2. Paper straws. Pointless inventions with good intentions is also my new band name.
#Norway, you are indescribably beautiful! People of Norway, you are utterly gorgeous! Big up the tram stops for having their own theme tunes! I wish I never had to leave.
Spock properly made me laugh out loud in the latest episode of #StrangeNewWorlds - I wish this show never had to end. #StarTrek

I need to build a power supply for it, and I don't have the Basic cartridge so I can't even turn it on, but I have been coveting this computer for at least 40 years. Dream fulfilled! #Sord #CGL #M5 #RetroGaming
Have you noticed that when you see a chef on TV trying food, they act like they haven't eaten in months?

I do love AI sometimes. I asked it how many Royal flypasts the King has witnessed in his lifetime.
Anybody else going to see Janet Jackson's only UK gig in August? I'm not entirely sure I want to be on my own in a field with 30,000 people I don't know! Yes, that's not exactly being on my own, but you know what I mean!
Went to the park with my boys. Saw a fire burning. Was wondering whether to report it, but then a fire engine turned up. Then a police officer wandered over and said we'd been identified as starting bin fires today! I burst out laughing! Didn't expect that line at all.
Smart watch: "Exercise detected. It seems you've been trying to break your neck putting things up in the loft."
Until a couple of minutes ago, this was still in its cellophane wrapper. Never opened. Seems to be pretty rare! #Philips #CDi #RetroGaming

Philips Discoverer CRT TV - bpharoah
A 3-year journey of, erm, discovery! Yes folks, it has actually taken me 3 years to repair this highly desirable CRT TV. It’s been a bit of a journey to say the least. From being scared stupid of even...

I saw something one evening this week I can't explain. It flew over the road, over the car and off into the distance. It looked like nothing I've ever seen before. My friend saw it too, and we spent the next few minutes shouting "WTF was that?!" I'm sure there's a sensible explanation... 🛸
Every few months I revisit this lovely Philips Discoverer TV in the hope I can finally repair it. I'm getting the urge again now! If only I knew what I was actually doing. #retrogaming #crt
This week I have learnt that if you play Super Mario songs in meetings, it makes you really happy. It also prevents you from actually concentrating on the meeting because you're just bopping along to the music instead!

Today I discovered the Kevin Bacon Number. And now I've mentioned it, you will find yourself Googling it too...

Finally ordered some more storage for the man cave. Planned where it would go, measured everything up and hit buy. Now I've realised that the presence sensor will have to be moved, and the other unit will completely block my access to the side of the TV where all the cables plug in!

Re-watched Caprica recently. Such a crying shame that didn't get a second season. Then I had to re-watch Blood & Chrome. Now I have to re-watch all of Battlestar Galactica! Love it!

Went to the Retro Computer Festival @computinghistory.org.uk today. What a great bunch of people and an awesome array of retro computers. If you zoom in on this picture, you can just about make out my name on the high score for the floor is lava game on the Dragon computer. Won myself a badge!
