I remember the man who used to come and empty the toilet!!! (thankyou to you whoever you were - what a challenging job that would have been... :hug:)

Ok, so who remembers what was the first movie they watched on their VCR's?
Mine was the Sound of Music :D
Guyforks night! Loved it, used to put in our order at the local Newsagency and was so excited to pick them up. Had a bonfire and most of the town come down to our place for it too!
I like the Nolan Sisters, and how about Sheena Easton when she did that racey song My baby takes the morning train!
Oh the excitement when we owned our own VCR instead of hiring one for the night from the video shop! The first video we watched on it would either have been a Bud Hall and Terrence Spencer, National Lampoons (or anything with Chevy Chase in it for that matter), Animal House or Police Academy movie. They were the ones Dad always seemed to pick LOL
The first video I ever watched was at a friends place on a massive old BETA!! It was Mad Max and I can remember how exciting it was having a movie with no adds that you could fast forward and rewind!!
remember when "remotes" were on cords?
TV's where you actually had to get off your butt to change the channel :lol:.
Regards,
Dianne
First video - wow, could have been Porky's II or something similar. I remember the local video store guy calling up my mum to see if we were allowed to borrow it.
First video I saw was "An American Werewolf in London" at a sleepover ;)
And my first computer was a **** Smith Wizard, that came with a book of games to type in .. and a cassette deck add-on to save your games on!
OMG i have found my soul sisters!!!

Playing the Atari or the Commodore 64 at the "rich friend's" house...
Playing Star Attack (or whatever it was called, sorry Old-Timer's Disease has stolen my memory) at the Fish N Chip Shop whilst waiting for the fish n chips - you know the game with the joystick and you always fought with your brothers/sisters about whose turn it was
Watching Halley's Comet from the Observatory...
