Marriage.

I was firmly opposed. I had a few girlfriends and each time I thought "I don't need my relationship to be recognised by the state. What a waste of resources."

Then I met my wife and it was like having pocket aces. I was all in before the flop.

22 years later and I'd give her both of my lungs if she needed them.

    Apologies. Fixed.

    My first computer was a donated ZX Spectrum with 1k memory. I had no tape drive, so I would program in a game, copied from a magazine, and play it, and when I switched it off it was gone.

    When we visited my dad he had a 16k that he had upgraded to 48k. I remember playing Jet Set Willy and Elite.

    I'm a disability support worker and I host a D&D session for some teens with autism. Being typical teens, fart, poop and butt jokes are hilarious. Also, they're always looking for loot, or the McGuffin, or trying to hide loot, inside the dead monsters' butts. We've had to implement a new rule... I had a shirt made.
