I got me one of those new fangled Playstation doofers
and wanted a Namco gun controller for it for shoot-em-ups. Funds were scarce, so imagine my delight when I saw one advertised in the Aberdeen Press and Journal for a tenner.

The seller was in Fraserburgh - not somewhere I'd normally go, but what the hell, it was a lovely Saturday morning and it's quite a scenic drive. Until you get to Fraserburgh, which at the time was one of the worst places in Europe for druggies.

So I wound up in a dingy flat with one of North East Scotland's finest examples of scum. I handed him a tenner. He handed me the Namco gun. Let's face it, it was probably nicked.

As I made to leave, he asked me, "by the way pal, where do you plug it in?"

"Same place you plug the normal controller."

"????"

"You know, on the Playstation?"

"It doesn't plug into the TV then."

"Er, no. Bye now!"
