What Made You Smile Today?

[snaps]

fanq fishy. I've got a post up now on FB just VERY FUCKING CASUALLY DROPPING A HINT ABOUT MY NEWS.

[Ian]

I bet!

[fish]

Tryouts for the new series?
Or what?

[Ian]

Sadly, I suspect Mikael would be considered too old for the role nowadays.

[fish]

Perhaps Snaps can find a spot for him in "THE MYSTERY OF CHAKO PAUL" then.
Alex's father or something, when Alex gets written into the screenplay that is.

[Ian]

I've been "reorganising" my dvds. Mainly because the clutter was getting on my tits. I've put a lot of the ones I don't watch into those "32" CD/DVD holder things, and also been reorganising so that I've got 2 or 3 or more of the same sort of films in the same dvd cases i.e 4 Arnie sci-fi clicks in the same set (Terminator, T2, Predator, Running Man), the Spiderman trilogy all in one etc.

It certainly looks a bit more streamlined now.

[Juule]

Just happy to be here.

[fish]

Happy you're here too, Juule.
Hope everything is going well for you.


Hope Ian is well too, but I expect he's a bit tuckered out what with reorganising his DVD collection and all.
"Reorganising" my collection just means pushing a shelf full of accumulated junk up to one end, so I have a bit more space.

[Ian]

Hello Juule.

I went rather crazy with the DVDs in the first half of the 00s. I'm positively austere with what I buy nowadays, but my God, the money I spent on them back then.

To be fair, a lot of them were worth it, but a lot I probably wouldn't if it was nowadays. And the clutter was getting to me. I could sense the walls closing in...I'd be like one of those mad people whose houses are nests of newspapers who get buried under them one day and they don't get found for months, only with me it would be DVDs.

It's starting to look a bit healthier now, thankfully.

Have you been spying on me again?

[Juule]

Have you been spying on me again?

I thought he was talking about me.

[Ian]

It's almost as bad with old magazines. I never buy any anymore, it's just got silly!

[fish]

Ian probably has a collection of a hundred or so semi-feral cats too.

Every now and then you read in the tabloids about this "poor soul" living in squalor among piles of old newspapers and cats and untidy DVD's.
Now we know who that "poor soul" is.

[Ian]

If they didn't mention DW videos and early 1990s Neighbours memorabilia, it can't have been me.

[fish]

Somebody's been spying on all of us.
