I'll probably be banned for this......but I was a Commodore 64 kid. I never owned a Speccy.
UNTIL NOW. Or at least a few weeks ago when I popped back to Britain and bought on eBay a ZX81, a ZX Spectrum and a Spectrum 2a black (one of Alan Sugar's terrible models, but it was cheap).
They were all broken in their own special ways but I am slowly working on bringing them back to life.
Last year I made a web game called Seven Bins Sunak, and in January fellow B3tan Joefish released a game based on it for the ZX Spectrum. And today, after finally getting my Speccy fully working, I was able to load and play it on original hardware.
Happy days.

That's the palest looking bottle of IPA i've ever seen, homebrew?
Took me a momentI was about to write 'no, it's just 99% alcohol I bought on Amazon' and then it hit me that it is now beer o'clock

Did you laugh at his Spectrum while claiming your Oric-1 was far superior?
