Cavolo Nero, cut into thin strips across the rib, steamed, then served lightly salted alongside something dark and beefy, like a steak and ale pie. Any leftovers, reheat in the microwave and slap a fried egg on top. Feels great to prepare too, a proper Studio Ghibli vegetable.

Wasn’t sure if you meant first software or first compilation! The Blue Ribbon re-release of Codename Droid is the first game I remember buying with my own money. There were games before this, but they weren’t mine. The first of the Play It Again Sam compilations. Citadel’s monks used to scare me.

A budget cassette re-release of Codename Droid by Superior Software, on the Blue Ribbon label.
A cassette copy of the first “Play It Again, Sam” compilations for the BBC Micro. Citadel, Stryker’s Run, Thrust and that other one we never played.

Do some Googling for the 4K77, 4K80 and 4K83 projects. Amateur archivists have been doing some incredible work.

This would be funnier were it not for an actual hurricane trashing Florida. But it’s still funny. The BBC Weather app has been shit ever since 2018, when they cheaped out and switched from the Met Office to Meteo for data. The Met Office phone app is far more accurate. www.bbc.com/news/article...

"Don't be alarmed folks," says weather presenter Matt Taylor after a data glitch on the site.

Parasite Eve 2. Graphics are alright, but the controls are awful and it has all kinds of issues, philosophically and ludologically. But I found it weirdly compelling, and beat it twice. It also has great guns, even though that’s really not my thing - the P08 Artillery Luger with the snail magazine!

We tried watching on ITV Hub, but you got about 10 minutes of cruise, funeral plan and care home adverts for every 15 minutes of Poirot. Then it would frequently crash while trying to resume the actual show. Buying the DVDs was absolutely worth the money.

Not only does my daughter love these books in and of themselves, but they also led to her asking to watch the entirety of David Suchet's Poirot with us on DVD. So now we have a weekly family Poirot night, which is a real treat. All for the bargain cost of a paperback! (and a 35 DVD Poirot box set)
