I don't know if anyone still does it, but it vexed me when distinctly second-rate TV stations started advertising the "network premiere" of a film. Literally just meant that it was the first time it had been shown on that channel, and had already made its way through the cinema, DVD, pay-per-view movie channels, subscription movie channels, regular TV channels with high ratings, and now after ten years it had finally washed up on the shores of Dave or Men & Motors. I swear I remember one of them advertising a network premiere of 1972's The Godfather. Made me think I should announce a Living Room Premiere of any film I decided to watch. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember us getting Sky TV in the early 90s and finding that it picked up a German channel. RTL, I think. Always showed an Emmanuel movie on Friday nights when my folks were out. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DA Baracus Posted June 8, 2023 Share Posted June 8, 2023 Channel 5 on a Friday night was where it was at. Red Shoe Diaries* and then a soft porn movie, often one of the Emmanuel films. Talking of which, when the actress got 'too old' they just did a film where she went for plastic surgery and after the scene it was a different actress. *@Stellaboz 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Channel 4 sometimes would have Eurotrash at 1030, Channel 5 then RSD right after. Glorious. The films would sometimes be those daft Confessions of a Plumber/Postman type nonsense but then you'd sometimes get a Russ Meyer classic. So much for a 14 year old brain to take in. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quite similar to the Shannon Tweed/Shannon Whirry movies of the time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was pretty tame stuff compared to what you can get today. Apparently. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Newbornbairn Posted June 8, 2023 Share Posted June 8, 2023 Travelling with smokers "Wah, just one fag before the taxi!" At the airport - "Wah, just one puff before we check in" After check in ""Wah, a quick puff before we go security" "Wah - got to get my duty free got to get my duty free, get fags, buy fags, get fags. Can you carry some through on your allowance?" Through Duty Free "Wah - I've heard there's a smoking area - is that it? Look over there, is that it? Where is it? Wah Wah Wah - they've got to let folk have a quick puff" FFS. I seem to spend half my lfe standing around smoking areas with my eyes streaming and coughing from the stink whilst my mum/dad/wife kill themselves with cancer sticks. 15 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I spent 90% of my waking hours queuing for rides, hanging around outside loos, queuing for ice creams, hanging around smoking areas, queuing for food, hanging around outside loos etc etc etc. The only bright spot was hitting a bar one night with a bunch of French workers cheering on les Bleus at the World Cup. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye in general smokers are selfish c***s who expect everyone to drop everything whenever they want to indulge in their manky habit, couldn't be with a smoker, bad enough working with them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's amazing when you ask them how many do you smoke a week, it's almost always 'Oh, only about half a packet a week!" 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
