Hi all,
I have been reading the archives over on James Gibbon's site most
of the day, being somewhat poorly it seemed a good opportunity to do
something worthwhile, whilst actually being extremely lazy.
In those days before DVD, there was a lot of discussion over the
quality of various video releases, including some very witty posts
i.r.o. "typos" et al on the video covers, which clearly
annoyed everyone at the time, that had me in fits of giggles. But
when I got to this one (see below) I had to put the laptop down, in
case the tears blew it up!
