In 1983, I was twenty years old, a university dropout, and back in my mum's house in Barnsley with no plan.

I had a Sinclair Spectrum, a cassette recorder, and a bedroom so cold my fingers went stiff at the keyboard. I was teaching myself Z80 assembly language from disassembled game code, in the dark, at midnight, hoping something would come of it.

Something did.

Chapter 4 of my serialized memoir is now live. The Zoo: a hosiery factory, an earthquake, and the interview that started it all.
