Yes, Lister. Spike's right. No Internet connection. However, you may still
use your ZX Spectrum.

Ah yes, but the question you have to ask yourself is are there any BBSes
still active with the capabilities of prestel? :)

Pfft. Crisp + Dry was for yuppies. Plus, if a fly lands in it, you have to
change the whole thing. With lard, you can just pick it off the top. There
is also the bonus of the fly landing in the lard while it's still melted.
By the time it sets, the fly will have sunk to the bottom and you won't be
able to see it.
