whatever happened to...

[nervous]

that little black and white flashing square thing that used to appear in the top right hand corner of the TV screen that meant there was 30 seconds till the advert break? i am forever holding on as long as possible now for a wee, and then after deciding that medically it would be unwise to wait any longer, rushing off to the loo, just to find that when i come back the adverts are on and Ive missed some of Dawson's creek or Americas dumbest shrews or some other example of high quality programming. so, what gives? where'd he go? moreover, they get rid of this useful device for those of us who wee and watch TV a little too often, yet people actually PAY to download the crazy frog and Paul Ross continues to get work? the worlds gone mad i tell ye.... not political ill admit, but a burning issue all the same, i think you'll agree.

On whom.....?

[nervous]

i have a life. its just not a very good one. and its dominated by wee schedules. if you had to take the tablets i do, you'd think about these things.

so.... does the black-and-white-wee-warning still exist or not?

if it doesn't, bring it back i say. if it does, i need new glasses


edited to add: rudeboy, if you can get me a discount on those chairs, ill have ten

I know the little spinning black and white thing you're on about.

no idea where it whent or when...

[nervous]

well, thats something at least. happy that I'm not imagining it. nothing worse than when even you're hallucinations stop wanting to see you

[brainsaw]

gone the way of the coffee cup mark you'd see on films.

methinks it was designed a warning to the people who queue the local adverts... nowadays it's probably done more cleverly with technology n stuff.

put a tv above the bog... job done.

And what happened to those things that used to bounce around in a glass/plastic dome on the top of petrol pumps?

[YarisSi]

I always wondered what that thing was for.
When I was little I used to get bored watching the show so got close to box and stared at it to hypnotise myself.

[nervous]

godamn, i love this place. you lot make me laugh so much

whilst on the subject of things that i no longer see (or imagine i see) i had a wham bar the other day, was actually better than i remember. am still looking for pacers though. also, think i quite liked that space stuff that exploded your fillings.

ooo ooo and rentaghost. though ill freely admit that that was shit even then.

oh, and why im on, was johnny briggs dog called razzle. i reckon it was, but the voices in my head say not.

....And "National" garages, where you could get smurfs with your petrol.

Used to be one in Newquay next to the Gannel

[nervous]

used to be one in hemsby in Norfolk too. now its all about essentials and paring back unnecessary frivolity. they now only have the smurf shop.

It was not shit

Sadly Mr Claypole died of Aids I believe. A shame because he was the first man I truly fancied, apart from John Noakes (which goes without saying - I was very fond of Shep too)

I have the Rentaghost theme on an MP3. Mr Nervous, you may very well have mail!!!
