Great Vlog Colin, I have a little hoover for my PC as well very handy and it does save money on those cans. good you got a Vic 20, nice machine. maybe you should program a game on it.
Hi Ponder. Interesting vlog thanks. Hadn't considered the environmental impact of the 20mph law but that makes sense. Maybe if it does improve the flow of traffic (a big if) then there will be fewer cars idling at traffic lights etc but who knows. Agree that it's a shame that this will end up swaying people's votes because, like you say, it's such a minor thing compared to other issues like the collapse of the NHS, schools, prisons, councils, youth services, etc, etc. Sadly though, when a lot of people "do their research" about who to vote for it involves going online and looking at dodgy hateful conspiracy theories, or even just picking up one of several mainstream "newspapers" that are little more than right wing propaganda. It's very depressing! On a lighter note sorry, i hope you have a fantastic time at Blackpool. Haven't seen who the panel guests and interviewer are but hopefully they'll be as good as last year. Can't imagine they'll find a better guy to help with the microphones etc though as you did sterling work on that. Have a good un and hope you enjoy your blower in the meantime.
Something I did forget to say on the vlog regarding "own research" is don't limit yourself to sources that have an agenda... on either side. Take a good look around many sources and draw your own conclusions. Oh I could do so much better than last time with my own audio equipment, it'd just need a 3.5mm - 6.5mm adaptor. Wireless throat mics are great! I guess you're not going this year? Shame, it'd be great to see you again.
@@ColinJonesPonder Not going this year sadly. Have been having a few health issues which make overnight stays tricky. Maybe next year though! All the best mate.

It's a possibility. I could use the same development method as for the C64. All I need is an idea and time!

Fingers crossed it doesn't bother you for too much longer and you can get on with the tings you enjoy!
