Pre 1995 is acceptable for retro video games. Cartoons the retro cutoff point is 1993. Music and pretty much every other aspect of popular culture must be pre 1990 to be considered retro. FACT.

Yes I do.. They took it personally. There was a fee for not rewinding so I’d pay it (because I forgot to rewind – not lazy) but when I went to get another video he would start ranting at me like I was some kid acting naughty…he only did it the once!

Fat Frogs were rotten. Apple is a hard flavour to master! Jollyranchers got it right!

Bring back Jollyranchers!:p

Don't remember Sky One ever being free.

It was removed from Cablelinks service for a while and then added back before the NTL takeover, but I think you still had to pay the cable company.
