My great-grandmother had one of these when I was a child - well, not the exact same Gorham bird statue, but it played the same tune. I have been looking for this for 20 years, she accidentally broke it in her late years and threw the mechanic away because she thought I was "too old for music boxes anymore". She was really remorseful when I told her it was one of my fave childhood toys that I wanted to share with my own children some day. Thanks to you, now I know which song to search for! <3 I am listening to this on repeat in tears. Thank you, really! <3

I agree with the title....

I think you have to cut the red wire - or, wait - is it the green wire?

You seem to be a master of the blindingly obvious: "here are some houses that they built" - err, yes.

Eating and talking. No manners at all.

You could turn the room lights on even if in side the A5000

Goofy ahh houses

We need to legalize weed

i’ve been looking for this game for so long, i almost thought i was making it up. It was my favorite game to play

Guru meditation. Never a good thing. Used to love that game.

14 years and only 2 likes (I gave the second like)? I hope it gets more likes after I post this comment. I gave it a like because I *LOVE* gulls (along with many other kinds of birds).

THANK YOU FOR THIS, i was obsessed with this game as a kid!!! So much nostalgia

its me i haf my own account now :D!!!

Not a patch on the old Flight Simulator days bay ;) Real time trans Atlantic flights, followed by a bit of F/A-18 Interceptor. They should have made a merger of those two. Would have been instantly banned.

... and 'alight' means to leave the train, doesn''t it? I got that wrong as well.

Whoops - I'm at Halling, not Cuxton. Cuxton is the next stop.

Best wishes from ‘Combe bay.

@2:09 - Looks like it was once a pisser to me ! (Note the overflow pipe embedded in the wall to the left ).

Got 10, only need 1. “Never gonna use those Dip sockets, never gonna use ‘em”.

Thank you for this!!! I've been searching to the end of the universe for footage of this thing. Swear it was a fever dream of mine

I can't believe it a Barbie Plug n Play I bet you trashed it after you stopped recording cause you didn't look very happy at the end

Anyone able to set the acorm on my pc

That long ago Jesus Christ!

Awesome vidd!

this is such a cryptic game, i remember owning it some time ago and this is the first time ive seen another instance of it.

The new Sonic Boom game is looking good.

Awesome! I had no idea that you could use A11 with Aux and Protect, and then STEP to bring up the binary load prompt! I'd been using A10 with the others to load new disc images into my ram disk drives. That's good to know! What all was broken with your machine? You said you recently fixed it?

I have no idea of the significance of what I just watched, but that's my problem. I do like the fact you have programmes called "pizza" and "bagels" on there though :)

I remember I a time when I was demonstrating the Acorn / Next Technology CD-ROM accessory to a large group of Local Education Authority leaders (this was in 1990 when no one really knew what a CD-ROM was) and the Desk Duck started to quack and swim across the large projected screen! Luckily the smiles from the audience showed they loved the Desk Duck ( I worked for Next Technology in Cambridge - we developed the CDFS for the Archimedes ) The only simlilar app I've seen "windows dancer" that came with Windows XP media centre -various animated dancers along the task bar.

Awesome stuff- thank you for sharing!

Thats the Irish navy ship out of appledore undergoing two day testing.

Nice hardware. Gotta love classic SUN gear. Thanks for sharing!

I have seen many springs, summers, falls and winters going by...But my thoughts is always in the next spring.

It wants your sandwiches.

Those damn gulls.

wow even sped up they didn't move for ages .... i was in the carnavel quite alot and now understand being at the back why they went so slow cus the ones at the front wernt moving lol

Oh my, I remember Desk Duck on my old A5000. Wish I still had the old Acorn machine.

THE MUSIC RULES!

I can't believe this got 823 views! Its amazing to think how bored people must be to watch this! :-) Just messing Lex. Just about to watch ben's vid of everyone in the 90's

I saw you today(almost tripped over you in fact) near the market arches.A quick change of direction was in order. Your hair is about medium length now,A BIT LIKE MINE,BUT I,LL GO FOR THE NUMBER 6 SHAVE IN THE NEXT FEW DAYS TO KEEP MY HEAD NICE AND COOOOOOOL.(that damn CAPS LOCK!!!!!!!!!!)

This is THE DIFINITIVE version of lemmings!

Its too late to tell me that now,ill keep it back for next Christmas,so youve got something to look forward too!

You need to see both natural horizons at sea level,a mountain view would probably have the horizon blocked by other peaks,and a high buliding blocked by other buildings,hills in the distance etc,so in those places it would not count.

Lexy,wot u shave your hair off 4,id got u some shampoo 4 xmas too!
