    Its a terrible thing losing a parent. I was devasted for some time. Even now, I think about her every day, Im sure everyone who loses their mum or dad is the same. Now though, I can look back on the happy times we had rather than being sad at my loss. My mum wouldnt have wanted me upset for long and your dad would be the same. Its hard now, but time does soften things. You sound like you have a lot of good memories stored up to lean on. They will see you through.

    My mum was buried in Perth, the first of her family to do so, all of her family are in Arranmore. We are going to bring a wee memorial stone over in June. Looking forward to it.

    I recently downloaded that and enjoyed it now as much as when it was first broadcast here. Give me a shout if you want a copy, but it's an easy enough torrent to find.

    All Sunday SPL games were on terrestrial TV. No channel packages to buy to see them.

    Not having a video recorder so agonising over whether to watch He Man on CITV of The Amazing Spider Man on CBBC on a Monday afternoon or missing Mr T because it started at 3:30pm and I didn't get home from school til 3:50.

    Finally getting a video recorder in 1987 and it was a life changing event..

    LOL, Big Daddy, EASY EASY. With Sky digital you get a lot of channels that cable don't get, like the wrestling channel (dunno if the channel still exists though) and among the programmes was World Of Sport Wresting. It was always a good laugh. I got Dogtanian here: http://thepiratebay.org/search/dogtanian/0/99/200

    It doesn't have many seeds or if you don't have fast broadband I'd be happy to make you a copy. I recently send a DVD of one of my you tube uploads to a girl in Texas.

    If providing download sources is against forum rules please remove the link mods.

    On the internet at work ya mad skiver...:icon_mrgreen: Work on a beautiful Sunday like today is a bit of a bummer though. I just tested the link, 10kbps. A bit crappy for 20 meg broadband but it's due to lack of seeds. If you want a copy though PM me your address. Your not the first stranger I've met on the internet that I've sent discs to so you don't have to worry about giving me your address. Posting a DVD to Texas was only 2.50. I thought it would be about a tenner. For a local postage it's pennies. I wouldn't want anything for it, just be happy the discs would be appreciated.

    Used to watch CITV every day after school, collected Pogs and Tazos, Chuckle Brothers and Super Mario Brothers would be getting watched, set off fire hydrants and used a bit of plywood board as a makeshift surfboard, go to the Ice Cream van with a quid and buy 100 alphabet gums, Lucky Bags,used to play my Atari and was always on the game Centipede, SEGA, Golden Axe, Streets of Rage, ect.

    Those were the days!
