    I deliberately hold off buying new technology until I know it's caught on/sustainable for precisely this reason.

    Aye but the tapes were smaller than VHS and of better quality, if anything i thought VHS would be the format to go down the pan tbh.

    Aye, you're right about the size. I double-checked. I remember the quality was better though.

    The size of them too, Jaysis! And let's not forget them chewing up your favourite taped-off show with spiteful glee...

    I don't miss video tapes at all really.

    I used to remember people taping over my vhs tapes and when i would get mad at them they would just say, "you should have just popped the wee thingwee up, the wee tab thingwee" :47: If the trivial things that annoy you thread would have been around in 1999 i would have been right on there:icon_mrgreen:

    Young teams- I imagine this still goes on but certainly not to the extent it used to.

    Pog's were brilliant back in the day, although you ended up looking like a wean with a 12' * the amount of them you had in your pockets :56::56::56:

    Think this was my best sheeney (or something like that we called them)...
