I found out about Cityfibre above from ISPreview. Manually scanned through the news posts until I saw Nottingham & Bilborough mentioned.
Alternatively, ask Google about your "new home town" and "FTTP". You may find something useful.

 

Laserface session seven today

 

Any more than £120 and it'd be a ripoff. I'd still argue that you're better off with a Raspberry Pi and bootable Amiga emulator like Amiberry, but I totally get the appeal of an all in one machine with licensed games.

Much more than £120 and you'd be better off going for a MiSTer, or original hardware (although original hardware is getting harder and more expensive to maintain).

 

I've still got a fairly mint Amiga 2000 in a box somewhere. Couldn't bear to part with such a beautiful machine. Should resurrect it, really.

 

Yes, yes you should! At the very least get it and check for leaky batteries - leaking caps can cause a lot of damage, but leaking batteries are even worse!

 

I should have an Commodore CDTV somewhere, but I've not seen it for many a year, so it could be in a multitude of sheds or attics, traded in my A500 to get it many many many many moons ago.

 

Christ, they're even rarer!

Get your Amigas out of the loft, people!

 

LOL.
When last seen it still had 2 CD caddies, the remote and a couple of hundred 3.5" jobbies of copied stuff, ahhh the heady days of X-Copy
I'd be very surprised if it's survived at all, but I'll keep an eye out for whenever folk move.

 

X-Copy... now that brings back memories!

 

X-Copy? Nope, never heard of that.

 

Will probably be in the region of 4.5-5.5 depending on driving style. My commute is a mix of 40/50 and NSL along the A303. Efficiency seems to be impacted most by throttle input rather than absolute speed (although past ~65 efficiency does start to drop just like it does in a normal car). I just drive to the speed limit and general traffic flow to achieve the current efficiency. I would say the ease of being able to change the re-gen between 4 modes on the fly (via steering wheel panels) really lends itself to maintaining efficiency.

We will be getting a charger installed once we move over to a smart meter. Main reason is more flexibility from a charging point of view. Currently on the ON rate I can only charge ~ 60 miles per night on the standard 3 pin 10a cable. The 7kWh charger will allow for essentially half the battery in one 4 hour stint. As said doing it for flexibility rather than any cost aspect.

 

Amiga CDTV! What a thing. And a 2000! There's a veritable treasure-trove.

I've got a 500+, a 600, and a 1200.

 

Got married on Tuesday, second time around but still feels awesome

 

Congratulations!

 

Builders found an old well under a wall of our house. It’s pretty cool and now I’m looking up glass well caps and trying to figure out how I persuade my wife to make it a feature of our new extension.

 

My sons job tomorrow (weather permitting) is helping me dig it out to see how deep it goes. Wife has already been persuaded as long as it doesn't change her new kitchen layout...
