Thanks for coming back to me so quickly Marc. Really keen to get on board with this one. It looks great!

Is there a reason the postage is so high, with the paperback at least 50%-75% of the pledge again for UK postage?

(Disclaimer - it may just be me being out of touch with postage costs!).

Also, will it only be available through the Kickstarter or wider thereafter?

Not at all jealous!

Condolences Derek. Sorry to hear about your friend. Here's to him and what he meant to you.

Do you have 16 to 18 year olds in your household?

Remember they can vote in the Scottish Parliament election on 7 May. Make sure they're ready to vote. If they are busy with exams, they can apply for a postal vote so that they don't miss out voting. Reg www.gov.uk/register-to-vote

It changes regularly, but I think it might be my favourite CH song.

Having fallen in love with the band via Woodface, the DS arrival hype was high. It did not disappoint.

Beautiful in almost any format, the opening chords and lyrics never fails to bring a smile or transport me back to my teens.

Grabbed tickets for the Usher Hall. They never fail to entertain.

Oh and my favourite piece by @stuffbymark.bsky.social still hangs on my wall

Just a weary open thought I'm throwing out on Monday...if you think editors can't tell when you're writing emails, pitches, or articles with GenAI...we *absolutely can*. 9 times out of 10, it stands out like a sore thumb, and the other time is usually easily weeded out.

So close!

Seconded on Codemasters!

Saw the stage show of this, and it was fantastic. Really looking forward to this one.

Sometimes you just get a sign that today is going to be a good day...

Is he Still Fighting It?

Any chance of a vinyl release for the anniversary?

Been tempted by this one.

Tremendous tune!

Thank you!

I didn't get either!

Blue goalkeeper football top with Sallinger 1 written on it, and logos for M Pact and Dunedin IT.

The bids are flying in...

This is glorious.

(Unless you are of a green persuasion).

Investigative journalism as its absolute height.

Love this.

Very much so. I've watched four decades of derbies, and they are more often than not blood and thunder rather than entertainment.

Shankland is a huge miss at the moment. Grinding out results will be the way for a bit I think. Which I'd be more than happy to do at Ibrox at the weekend.

Thought both teams were really poor, in an awful game of football.

The goal was the only bit of quality in the whole game.

We needed a win tonight. Didn't care how we got it. Job done.

US Gold and Ocean carts maybe? Some of their movie license games were great fun back in the day.

No idea what we'll get, but Konami would be a great get. I'd love a Megadrive cart with a range of games on it, rather than just the main titles. Likewise for the Amiga.

Another Rare cart, with Blast Corp included please!

Would the Evercade be able to play a Command & Conquer cart?

See, I've yet to experience not having anyone else in the cinema with me for a film, despite going to the flicks since the 80s (shout out to the Allan Park Cinema in Stirling! RIP).

But I certainly don't want to have to suffer Melania to have to...

Happy 3rd birthday to the wonderful @edinburghminute.com !

Save me some cake please.
