Re: "Sorry but you cannot use search at this time..."

Hi @Adrian45,

Pixels at the museum - Bogor Regis (6th April 2024)

My school friend (Jan Pniewski) and his wife Zoe have organised this retro gaming event in Bognor Regis. I will be there promoting the ZX Spectrum. If you think you can make it do let me know and we can catch up for a few beers. https://pbs.twimg.com/media/GDl_gH8XoAAgf2S?format=jpg&name=large
