Charlie: “In fact, in my limited experience, the more unpalatable you find someone’s TV persona, the nicer they turn out to be in real life.” which explains why I was told that Peter Jones is actually a nice bloke. Oh well.

OMG. It’s like Space Invaders: REZ edition

I remember thinking: “the network operators are screwed” when GMM2 came out.

Passwords can have a maximum of 8 characters. Sigh.
