What a horrible & tragic weekend it was at Imola in 94. Ratzenberger in quali and Senna the next day in the race. I know Ayrton still gets the majority of the media push, but i'm glad to see Roland consistently remembered as well. #F1

@commodorelad.uk could I pick your brains on a breadbin fault - 250407 board, powering up from cold produces normal border and screen colours, but lots of @ and graphic characters. Works fine when it's been powered on for a bit then reset. Thinking PLA?

A lot of guilty pleasures in tonight’s 1987 #totp. My daughter’s the exact same age now as I was when it was first shown, her being told of this resulted in some epic eye rolling 😀
