Instead, we just have this solitary nightly journey wading through mediocre half-written US streamer sludge. It is more convenient, but it doesn't necessarily feel like an improvement.

At least we know ICE aren't making any money from it.

Looking for a cover artist for self-published book trilogy. Mecha story with a boy and girl main characters. Something mildly cartoony that will punch in thumbnail.

Yes, paid! Four covers total, for each volume and an omnibus edition.

If you have a site you want me to look at, let me know.

Oh lord, yes. I recorded the whole of the Seventh Voyage of Sinbad on BASF cassettes.

Before we got a video (YES! WE'VE GOT A VIDEO!), I used to record episodes of The Young Ones and listen to them over and over again.

I heard this interview go out. For some reason it has been edited for apostrophe use.

They sound like a Teach Yourself Swedish lesson.

This could be a good article for something – shows kids would record off the television. Mine were The Monkees and Film Fun with Derek Griffiths.

A bit of a long shot but does anyone know of a wheelchair accessible photography studio for hire in London? I'm trying to plan a couple of studio shoots but finding it hard finding anywhere to shoot

Hastings Morrisons car park is giving strong unpopular Dutch Airport vibes today.

Do as David says. Or the secret police will snatch you and your family and dump you on a rock in the Hebrides.

I taped the last episode of Tiswas.
Used to listen to it loads.
Whilst eating a flan and necking a bucket of water.

I always tried to tape Fawlty Towers by holding one of those cheap plastic mics up to the TV speaker. Of course, when I played them back, all you could hear was my mum and dad's laughter. I wish I still had those recordings.

The only thing I have kept from my time as a law student is the habit of saying "vs." as "and" (eg lawyers say "Rex vs Thomas" as "Rex and Thomas") which has been of no use except I sometimes say "Bunny and Monkey."
