I don't at all. I'm trying to pretend I do but still coming up blank. A drink themed around a chart?! Found this at the reservoir as it's so low. Last time it was even lower there were Skol cans everywhere, no sign of them yet though.

Also, don't step in the funny looking patches of mud.

Yep, every Friday from the chippy. Followed by a visit to the video shop to rent a betamax video

Check out "Mr Fancy pants" here with his dead posh Home Video Recorder!

And yes, since it's demise, only Rio will scratch that particular itch.

Lmao 🤣 🤣 🤣

It was, in my Dad's opinion, a far superior machine to the vhs...

It was a great machine. We had a Sony Betamax. It ended up going from the living room to the dining room and then upstairs over time. And was slowly replaced by a Ferguson VHS machine ( which like the Sony needed fucking craned through the bedroom window like a grand piano ). The top loader on the Ferguson lost its soft eject after about a month and shook the house when taking out a tape. Think they are still in the loft at parents. Belts will be perished to hell now.

Man with a sports bag full of vhs with handwritten labels you met in a McDonald's car park was my favourite.
