Petty Things That Get On Your Nerves...

[DA Baracus]

Channel 5 on a Friday night was where it was at. Red Shoe Diaries* and then a soft porn movie, often one of the Emmanuel films. Talking of which, when the actress got 'too old' they just did a film where she went for plastic surgery and after the scene it was a different actress.

So many memories.

Channel 4 sometimes would have Eurotrash at 1030, Channel 5 then RSD right after. Glorious. 

The films would sometimes be those daft Confessions of a Plumber/Postman type nonsense but then you'd sometimes get a Russ Meyer classic. So much for a 14 year old brain to take in.

Used to watch these as well, and then you notice some of the actors that appeared in them (Matt le Blanc) were doing it before or hitting the big time or after giving up a big TV gig (Denise Crosby). 

Quite similar to the Shannon Tweed/Shannon Whirry movies of the time.

My mate's wedding was "dry" because of the bride and her family's religion. 

It just takes a small amount of ingenuity and subterfuge to work around this sort of lunacy.

I remember us getting Sky TV in the early 90s and finding that it picked up a German channel. RTL, I think. Always showed an Emmanuel movie on Friday nights when my folks were out. 

If it's the same thing there was a red triangle at the bottom/top of the screen to indicate adult content.  It was pretty tame stuff compared to what you can get today.  Apparently.

On a Teams call just now. One guy joined via his phone. Seems to be using it a bit like a phone. Camera on, I can see either his eyebrow or his ear.

Travelling with smokers

 

"Wah, just one fag before the taxi!"

At the airport - "Wah, just one puff before we check in"

After check in

""Wah, a quick puff before we go security"

"Wah - got to get my duty free got to get my duty free, get fags, buy fags, get fags. Can you carry some through on your allowance?"

Through Duty Free

"Wah - I've heard there's a smoking area - is that it? Look over there, is that it? Where is it? Wah Wah Wah - they've got to let folk have a quick puff"

 

 

FFS. I seem to spend half my lfe standing around smoking areas with my eyes streaming and coughing from the stink whilst my mum/dad/wife kill themselves with cancer sticks.

Sounds like you're having just the best holiday ever.

No that was a few years ago at EuroDisney. I spent 90% of my waking hours queuing for rides, hanging around outside loos, queuing for ice creams, hanging around smoking areas, queuing for food, hanging around outside loos etc etc etc.

 

The only bright spot was hitting a bar one night with a bunch of French workers cheering on les Bleus at the World Cup.

Aye in general smokers are selfish c***s who expect everyone to drop everything whenever they want to indulge in their manky habit, couldn't be with a smoker, bad enough working with them.

It's amazing when you ask them how many do you smoke a week, it's almost always 'Oh, only about half a packet a week!"

Who the fuck still smokes in 2023?  It cost's a fortune and you can vape inside (in a lot of places).

Weirdos, that's who IMO.

No, that was Channel 4.

I remember some daft old cow called into the Radio Forth phone-in on a Sunday morning and complained about one of the films. The presenter asked her why she had watched it given that the red triangle was there specifically to warn people that they might find the film offensive. She replied that she hadn't been watching to begin with, she was in bed asleep, but her friend phoned her and told her to switch on her TV as there was a really disgusting programme on.

The presenter told her she was stupid and cut her off.

Vapers can gtf as well. Smoke is absolutely stinking but at least it's one puff of smoke at most by the time you pass them. These fuckers look like they're coming out to sing on Stars in their Eyes.

Yea, I find it amazing the quantity of vape smoke these folks let out. And thr sweet, sickly smells of some of that juice. The ex tried vaping once, and was sitting inside doing it, and I’m like get the f**k outside, this is even worse.

I was at a Fauldhouse United game on a hot, humid evening a few years ago. Place was louping with midges.

I tried standing next to vapers to see if that kept the little buggers away but it didn't so they're not as good as cancer sticks in that regard.

Ah, yes, I remember the red triangle movie nights. I'm sure I watched some others but the only one I can specifically remember watching is "The Wicker Man". I seem to recall that the movies were introduced by a tall skinny movie critic bloke but I can't remember his name.

Aye, I actually knew that but missed the poster saying Sky TV.  The red triangle was before the days of Sky IIRC.
