The last video tape Page 3

I have no VHS tapes. Aboo! I have a load of vinyl kicking around but most of those are more recent purchases. I think my mum still has all my old videos from when I was a wee bairn.

Nice one. That really takes me back. I remember me and my little mates getting excited about Maradona coming over, because we hadn't seen anything of him since he dazzled the world a year earlier at the World Cup. I also remember Pat Nevin playing, because Everton had just signed him.

I only started buying vinyl in 1995, when I bought my first set of turntables and mixer. Before that my collection was all tapes and CDs. I regret not buying vinyl sooner,as I just love it. I even love the feel of records, as you flick through someone's collection. As I said, I really, really need to get out more.

Aw, tapes. I miss tapes. They were fun.

You could tell which tapes were your favourites, because the writing would start fading away after a certain amount of time. I want to buy myself a vintage Ghetto Blaster some time soon. I want one of those really tall thin chrome beasts that I used to see on T.V. back when I was really young.
