I mean you’re not far wrong. I always dreamed of a Ford Sierra or a Vauxhall VX220, but the Scooby with McRae and Grist’s name on it was an absolute belter.
I suppose the last one is halfway true. In the UK before internet access was mainstream, you either had to use the school/work network connection and their weird access control packages, or use the local library. In any case, you actually had to get dressed to use the internet.
This was when ISDN was a fat pipe, and if you went to the library, had to plan what you was going to look up because you paid for 30mins of access time. After you’d searched for PS1 cheat codes, Ask(ed) Jeeves for a fact to settle an argument, and looked up pictures of the 555-branded Subaru Impreza, it was time to burn off whatever acces time was left on Lycos, Excite, or Google’s directory service to find new cool stuff.
Old school.

Jesus,that “list of places” is an awful, fragmented mess. No wonder the high seas are so popular.
Not that it matters when this is the best episode ever :)
Semi-offtopic: my life has gotten a little bit better since I used the Android (other OSes likely have similar functionality) option to block any witheld or blocked caller IDs.
Partly because it’s rarely anything good these days if it’s a witheld number, but mainly because my workplace’s outbound calls get automatically blocked so work calls don’t get displayed on my phone unless someone uses Skype or a work mobile. Winner.
9/10 would recommend A+++++ unless you’re on call, of course.
Yeah fair point, never even considered that so thank you!
off topic: why tf are they offering a payment plan?
I know times are hard and people do be broke, but US$3 a month for four months?
That’s wack
There’s a safer but equally insane solution off some A-roads in the UK: https://maps.app.goo.gl/vsNMgsfYT7ooa39R9 .
I’m all for expanding cycle networks across major roads, but the wider motorist mindset isn’t quite ready for it yet, particularly on my old commuting routines like these arterial routes into London. I’d love to see more cycle lanes but not at the cost of more injured or dead cyclists or scooter users.
Yeah the charge got binned as internet access became more mainstream.it was inexpensive though, like £2 for half hour or something.
I’d pay a fair bit more to go back to an age when staring at this beautiful icon was all the reassurance you needed that the page was on its way:
