A truly remarkable day. I went to an Italian restaurant for lunch and then a different Italian restaurant for dinner.
It's not every day you do that.

A truly remarkable day. I went to an Italian restaurant for lunch and then a different Italian restaurant for dinner.
It's not every day you do that.
I was on a working lunch in the office at The Sun and saw what was happening, got the Commercial Director to wheel out his telly and we all sat around watching it until the bomb threats started coming into our office and nearby Canary Wharf and we were all sent home/to the pub.
An extremely wd to the pub, on that day
I can't find it anywhere. Ocado don't have it, Waitrose don't have it and Tescoi certainly don't have it.
Dennis has left Ruxley - we eagerly await the new incumbent http://www.thebutcherofbrogdale.co.uk/
Waitrose claims to stock it.

I was in Majorca
The seat was nice and high
Down early doors
Back then it was those modern silver jobbies
I went to Bangkok the following week and the footage of the a/c impacting the towers was being played everywhere ona constant loop. Hotels, bars, restaurants, they even set up TVs in street markets so you didn't have to go more than 3 minutes without watching tragedy unfold.
A strange people, the Thais.
The darts at Christmas had a little bit of novelty value.
The football was shocking. All shot at a low level to try and give a bit of depth perception which meant you didn't actually see that much on screen. And, if I wanted to see a football match in 3D, I would actually fúcking attend one.
The collapse, I think. While the twoers were burning I was thinking about the casualties on the flights and wondering how long it would take the fire brigade to put the flames out; at the point the buildings collapsed it hit home that thousands of people were likely to be dead.
Plane no.2 was the most dramatic because it was captured live
In second place were the collapsing towers
Pat Vegas "that was a strange period for tv. if you watch a music video or a football match from the same time they are very poor and fuzzy quality.
where as stuff from the 80s and 90s was much clearer"
:nod:
Those cheap 'look back' shows just pinch material from online for their source materials
My 20th century VHS recordings were/are much clearer than the ones they pinch
V early days of digital storage, f.
They ended up compressing the video image into such ****ty files all sorts of definition was lost.
If you watch these Sky Premier League years things, I don't remember the live picture being anywhere near as bad as the recordings. Plus modern TVs make the old compressed SD video look even worse.
