    Anyone here watch Channel 4 really late at night years ago? (maybe about 10-15 years?) Was a real eye opener for a teenager, I'll tell you that :pac:

    There was this awful british/spanish soap opera and, I sh1t you not, I'd rather watch a documentary on stoma care again than watch it....

    Sounds like Eldorado, the mighty BBC flop of the early/mid 90's. I'll always remember that show for that fella's classless ponytail.

    I doubt it was Keith Baron in Duty Free as that was a sitcom, and it was brilliant!

    Usually you'd end up with utter dross like Renegade, Legwork (despite it's awesome theme music it sucked bum), re-runs of The Chart Show (which ALWAYS used to FFWD through the videos you wanted to watch when they did the top 10's) and other bunk and drivel like re-runs of Vanessa, Kilroy and Countryfile.

    The only decent show was that dating show with that absolutely cracking bit of 'hows yer father' on the telly, Jayne Sharp. PHWOOOARR!!! :o

    Yes. I remember watching this episode of The Word when it first aired and loved the fight at the end!

    First time I'd ever seen RATM. :)

    Used to watch the worst rubbish on telly just to past the time...
    Everything changed when I realised I could pop my MD into the bag and hook her up when all the work was done.
    I spent much of my time on my own in those days, on nights and, once everyone was tucked into bed and the various other things sorted, I could settle down and play some games!
    I never got out of this habit, I only finished having to nights a couple of years ago and was still bringing in my console of the time with me, always seemed to be on nights for a console launch, which meant I could get stuck into it, so Halo, Fantavision, WiiSports, Virtua Fighter 3... sounds like a Retr0 nightmare!

    So rather than just sneak in a handheld like most people on night shifts, you were actually able to hook a console up to a tv? Nice one! Talk about a great way of fitting more gaming into your life.

    Indeed :(

    Only ever happened to me once before. Fatal Fury 2 PAL version for the Megadrive. Australia only game. Super duper rare. (I've only ever come across two on ebay in years of searching..that one and a buy it now one which is in bits)

    I fell aleep.

    Auction ended at something stupid like €30!

    I go offline for a few hours and it turns out I have had a sex change???
    Well, I been in Gamesexchange but that's about it!

    Want more games me but can't possibly afford it right now.
    Banking on a voucher fest this Christmas....
    Fingers crossed!


    I wonder if Rage sell vouchers?
    Now there's an idea....

    Not gaming but I got these today. I actually made a bit of a mistake though, or a coup, depending on which way you look at it.

    See that odd-looking Chinese Laserdisc? It was actually listed for €1.20 by the seller as 'Chinese Laserdisc'.

    I had no idea what it was but the cover art looked interesting but I couldn't make out any of the text. A sucker for the curios I bought it. Turns out I had just bought a Chinese Laserdisc of Faces of Death IV! :eek:

    Not really my cup of tea, although I have seen them before. But it has to be said, the cover art gives absolutely ZERO impression it's a Faces Of Death nasty. I won't watch it as I don't like mondo movies apart from Africa Addio which is brutal but very eye opening to say the least.

    The plus side is, this particular disc is rarer than a blue steak, so I'll flip it and make a few bob on it instead one day. :)

    EDIT: Oh, and all the discs are widescreen and juicy editions apart from The Commitments (I think) as it has no markings denoting the AR.

    LOL. That's not going to stop the ladies flirting with you,
