My Biggest DisappointmentOften the things we look forward to the most turn out to be a huge let down. As Freddy Woo puts it, "High heels in bed? No fun at all. Porn has a lot to answer for."
Well, Freddy, you are supposed to get someone else to wear them.
What's disappointed you lot?

SportIt was 25th October 1987, Id been into the NFL for about 2 years and, after a brief affair with the LA Raiders I'd decided to jump ship and follow the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. A typical obtuse choice by me, they were God awful. But I liked the whole underdog thing. One night I was listening in on American Forces Network as the signal came and went. The Buccs were playing the mighty (and hated) Chicago Bears. We were winning! The Bears were 20-0 down. How could we lose this? Easily as it turns out. Man was I gutted. Apparently I came downstairs to my folks and was nearly in tears (I was 17 BTW). Still hurts.
Edit: I should add that I didnt have Sky then so all I got was i hour on Ch4 (Mick Luckhurst was presenting I think) and you NEVER saw the Buccs. So the chance to witness a live game by them was rarer than rocking horse shit.
