Our Ginger Fuhrer's young life was scarred by the discovery of an end-of-the-pier 'What The Butler Saw' machine and a jazz mag shoved behind a toilet cistern. Tell us about the first time you realised that there was more to life than sweet shops and Friday night TV

Except we were 8 or 9, I suppose. And my friend had "cable" (which in those days really was a rarity). Aberdeen was one of the first cities to get it (all that oil money meant lots of subscribers, you see).
Every so often we'd be allowed to have a sleep over. This would involve staying up all night to see what would come up on cable.
Revenge of the Nerds was one. I also recall some brief boobage on Conan the Barbarian. It was enough, at that age, to keep us going for weeks. Well, until the next overnighter, anyway.
