  3. Does anyone out there have this game, the "Complete Music Quiz Night In", and can tell us what the track listing is for the audio CD in it that we have just discovered that we do not have?

  5. A present for @brucelawson from @jesslynnrose @DanielNewns and me for Christmas. No more Bruce thing has ever, ever existed.
    Bruce is wearing a military peaked cap which is festooned with jewels. It's fabulous. It's like Ru Paul's Drag Race as a hat

  7. Planning the #BrumTechXmas pub crawl between Christmas and New Year in Birmingham. Previous years were fun; show up and leave when you like for a coffee/pint/catchup, and get away and talk about tech after a week of enforcedly not being able to :) When/where would you all prefer?

  9. Does anybody know what the logo in this stained glass window is? It's upstairs in DigBrew's bottleshop in Birmingham and obviously predates them. The windows are sadly boxed off, but presumably they date from early Piccadilly Arcade history in the 1920s. Maybe @ichoosemag?
    It looks like a capital M with a crown in the top centre, and a big circle replacing the middle with a plant in

  10. If there aren't people in your feed going on about the toy show then you don't know enough Irish people

  12. Big news from @CMAgovUK here. I found the the "Board Advisory Steer" a really useful summary document; it's basically a short understandable list of things that they've told people to pay attention to. assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/media/637b76478fa8f5771eb23acc/Board_Advisory_Steer_.pdf @brucel/1595010346032713730

  13. Personally I thoroughly enjoyed The Mysterious Murders of Yin Mara, so if you're reading this and able to vote for a Nebula... now you know what to vote for. @marshallmaresca/1592702615070330881

  14. Just seen this very excellent animated trailer for @MisterABK's UK tour next year (which we're going to!), and on top of everything he did the animation! That's just downright unfair. youtube.com/watch?v=nCam8i8T8Y4

  15. well, can't complain at that. We (@OpenWebAdvocacy) met with @CMAgovUK at 9am, and just now at 1pm the Chancellor re-confirmed the government's Digital Markets, Competition and Consumer Bill to provide new powers to the DMU to foster more competitive digital markets. Fast work! @sil/1593230685363470336/video/1
