As a mini-cab driver famously once said to me.....

Such reliable sources

Odd how no-one ever mentions the conviction of Cheryl Cole (then Tweedy) for racially abusing and attacking a woman working in the ladies toilets of 'The Drink' nightclub in Guildford, thesedays...

And she did marry a coloured chap, so she can't be that racist.

A series might not works, but a few specials a year would be good.

Gamesmaster was brilliant.

Yeah, I loved Dominic Diamond!

Which reminds me, does anyone remember a games show that used to be on a Saturday morning? The 2 presenters were really good looking guys in their mid-20's, tight t-shirts, bulging biceps etc?

He's really fat and bald nowadays, isn't he?

You could tell he was really fat and bald on the inside, even back then.

You've got a nasty streak, zoooo. It's nasty, and there's a streak of it in you. :)

Gamesmaster was brilliant.

Not quite so good when Dexter Fletcher, in a boiler suit, took over, and people had to be ferried to him on a little boat.

(That's real, and not something I dreamed, right?)

For a non-gamehead I found this great fun and an interesting catch-up on what I've been missing/not been missing. It made a lot of decent points about what turns me off modern day gaming - i.e. lack of story-telling and style over substance.

Hear hear. Here's one for you Tim! :)
