It's odd, but there is a sort of Chuntey Field Disruptor these days that the people of 30-something years ago could never have imagined would become so common.
A Spectrum user wrote:I know, I think I'll just load this very long 128K game to amuse me this afternoon. Lotus Esprit Turbo Challenge, that should do it.
128K Spectrum wrote:*Nine minutes of loading noises*
Scumbag mobile phone wrote:I know, I think I'll just update something completely irrelevant and check that there still hasn't been a message sent to this number for three weeks. Dit-de-dit dit-de-dit dit-de-dit...
128K Spectrum wrote:R Tape loading error, 0:1
Scumbag mobile phone wrote:*cackle*
And it gets worse. Scumbag Mobile Phone can even choose to dit-de-dit all over the data when it's being recorded, such as when it's coming out of a WAV and onto a tape. That's why I keep it switched off!

You can get the same chuntey disruption if you attempt to load a game at midnight GMT - and happen to have an old Kindle too near your Speccy :O

That never stopped the ancient Egyptians! There are plenty of examples of the art-style of the time where the people, gods, mythical beasts etc. were depicted with two left hands or two right hands depending on which way they were facing. It even made it into one of my chemistry textbooks when chirality was first introduced.

I don't think there are too many excuses in this day and age, though. How did neither the tattooist nor the patient notice the problem?

The real problem is the extreme hipsterness and yawn-worthiness of it all. Now, if it was Horace....

Russian Spectrum memes from https://vk.com/zxmemes

Image
"Spectrum fans earlier: wrote assembler code on a paper and translated it to machine codes manually.
Spectrum fans now: I can't run emulator."




Image
"Take the money, buy another Spectrum." "Come on, you shouldn't." "Take it, I say."




Image
"But what is better, Spectrum or BK?" "I'm glad you asked" (BK is BK-0010/0011, russian home computer).




Image
"Support of ZX Spectrum Next: Sorry, you just don't understand, I'll explain, sorry, let's respect each other and be friends."
"Support of ZX Evolution: You go #%#@ yourself because you're $#%@# moron."




Image
"When you converted a picture with bmp2scr, and nubs praise you: You know, I'm something of an artist myself."




Image
"So many bills in this month. ZX Next Kickstarter, ZXDOS+, Taoun. What it is?" "New taxes again... $#^#@ government!"





Image
"When it's a couple of hours before the deadline, and it's need to assemble the demo and to fix a couple of effects. - Everything will be $#^& great."

Sounds like what I've been doing. Only I've been trying to deal with its older brother as well...
