Red DwarfI remember wanting to and attempting to enjoy it like so many of my peers at the time did, but I just never managed to find it funny.

Dial-up internet paid for by the minute.Whenever I hear people bleating that they can't get a reliable 80 Meg download speed from their shitty ecoshack up in the arse end of some mountain in some fucked up part of Wales it makes my blood boil.
When I first started using the interwebs I had a 14.4k modem that would take 5 minutes to download half an image of Lindsey Dawn McKenzie's tits before giving up because invariably my girlfriend had decided to call her mum on the downstairs phone - which cut off the modem. While she was blathering on to her mother on about pottery mugs or whatever other shit she'd gibber on about I had to sit upstairs with a slowly diminishing semi.
And for the privelege of this we got to pay BT for every minute we were connected. When my girlfriend and I were hooked on Ultima Online we were sometimes online for 4 or 5 hours a night. Our quarterly phone bill was often over £300.
I remember the glee when NYNEX cable did a deal that you could make a local weekend phonecall for as long as you liked for 50p.
Demon Internet's local telephone number in my town: 01625 509666 - 3 day long phonecalls, bitches.
....aaaand relax

TerrahawksIf, say, you're a student, and your housemate has brought home a Terrahawks video because you both remember it being awesome and you haven't seen it in years...just don't bother. It's utterly dreadful.
Get some episodes of Star Fleet instead, it's fucking mint.

The past is full of all the shitty things that have already happenedwhile the future is full of everything that I hope will happen, but hasn't yet.
So much better that way.

Cynicism80s cartoons - a topic that keeps cropping up this week.
In my naivety I failed to realise that most of them were specifically designed to sell toys.
I remember the physical need to have Optimus prime, or Go-bots. I was devastated when, having been given skeletor for my birthday, it took my sister less than an hour to chew the sword into a gammy plastic mess.
But all of this was just marketing and promotion tie in. I feel mugged.

When I was younger the violence in Northern Ireland was called "the troubles" and it was bad and one half the community got discriminated against and everyone ignored that all the discrimination was amplified against both halves of the working class.Now the sectarian discrimination is officialy gone and anyone linked to either Sinn Féin or the DUP can get a public job and everybody ignores the fifteen months of continuous rioting and the 600 gun and bomb attacks in the last eight years because peace process.
HOORAY.

weeeeee.Ulysses 31. An eighties cartoon that I was dangerously addicted to. There was telemicus, nono, Ulysses, and some blonde girl, trying to return to earth in an eye shaped space ship. The plot followed Greek myths, set in space,- minotour etc.. I LOVED that cartoon.. So in a nostalgic moment I tracked down a DVD with 6 episodes on it.
It is now the single most depressing cartoon ever to exist on this planet! I watched 3 of them,.and then went and put my head in the oven. Whilst in the bath. Hugging my toaster and using the power lead to hang myself and trying to slit my wrists with the soap.* if you can find an episode, watch with caution!
I no longer love this cartoon.
*may contain exaggeration.
