Learned very quickly however that the scuddy bits were all done in the first 40mins or so and the second half of the film was all about the plot. Such a downer when in your bed with a failing semi just knowing you've missed your chance to get one cracked off. I remember this Montenegran classic, definitely NSFW, Spoiler http://www.cutscenes.net/videos/2067/from-montenegro-masterpiece-by-dusan-makavejev/ 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Used to piss me off when folk wouldn't wind tapes back to the start when they were finished with them. Used to piss me off big time. Our first vcr was pretty basic. You had to hold your finger on the rewind button and you could see the film play backwards as the tape rewound. It took fucking ages and your finger was sore afterwards. Any cunts who returns a video to blockbuster without rewinding it first deserves to be smothered with a spit mask. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My BFTP is Tweed perfume. My gran used to wear it - my mum would have me buy a bottle for her birthday/Christmas - and (until recently) I don't think I'd smelled it since she died about twenty-five years ago. Someone wearing it walked past me a few months back, and it was like a smack in the face - suddenly I was a kid again, and the feelings and memories that swept over me were overwhelming. Absolutely incredible how long-dormant parts of the brain can be accessed just by something as simple as a scent. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flybhoy Posted February 11, 2017 Share Posted February 11, 2017 I recorded the 1989 Scottish Cup Final, I still had the old VHS tape from my mum and dads house till my last house move, havent seen it since. Midway through the first half Peter Grant and Mark Walters are chasing a 50/50 ball, as commentator Jock Brown describes the slow motion replay praising Grant's strong but fair challenge, co-commentator Ian St John points out a blatant elbow to the face of the Rangers winger stating "A nifty left hook there from Peter, that could result in a black eye for Mark Walters" Within seconds the commentary goes silent except for the blatant and audible sniggers of Brown and St John in the background for a good five to ten seconds. Casual racism was a tacitly accepted joke back then, doubt such a blatant offensive gaffe would go un-noticed these days. -2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ArabGaz Posted February 11, 2017 Share Posted February 11, 2017 I was watching an episode of The Office last night and one of the old Windows screensavers they had in the background made me think "ooft, I'd have completely forgotten about that otherwise". Post up your 'blast from the past'. General nostalgic things are fine, but things that you think others on here would have completely forgotten about otherwise are ideal. More obscure the better, particularly for things that prevent this from turning into a full blown 'school stories' thread. The screensaver of note was the old Windows pipework one btw: You used to get this little fucker in the corner of your screen as well. Also, a trip to Belfast the other year and the sight of a Harp lager tap in a pub made me recall this advert. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hedgecutter Posted February 12, 2017 Author Share Posted February 12, 2017 That tape needs rewinding. Used to piss me off when folk wouldn't wind tapes back to the start when they were finished with them. The thought of anything VHS just reminded me of "PG: If it's romantic, it might have some sexy scenes!" (1:17) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
