Not that that is going to stop you from dreaming… Only in this case, Gaffer is actually a guy.

I used to complain so much about life when I was 13, and I used to wish I was older... HOW WRONG I WAS! Please, I beg all of you who are still in school and not working or facing the real world, ENJOY IT WHILE YOU CAN! Carpe diem!! SQUEEZE every second of your carefree unresponsible teenage years, and enjoy every freaking minute of it! As soon as you get into your adult years your life will become a living HELL that will last until your horrible deaths 60 years later, so please enjoy it while it lasts!!! Mark my words!!!

I too join ADM in the Aging Flatus Brigade (aka AFB) as I am 34. I also used to rent VCRs long before my family bought one. Ah the good old days.... when movies were movies... when music was music... and when you had to got to stores and BUY porn instead of being able to download it from the internet!

We had an old 1980 JVC vcr which was pretty much like this one. It was silver, had two huge separated pieces, one on top of the other, and was also a top-loeader. there was a remote control connected through a wire although we almost never used it, we didn't have any remote controls at all, people back then didn't think it was such a big deal to get up and do things. It could only play 2 hour tapes (SP recording). There was this huge camera which was connected to the top part of the vcr, so if you wanted to use it outside you had to use a bag and carry that heavy piece of the VCR along with a huge battery... The camera did this abrupt noise when cutting scenes...
I think the earliest recording my dad has is the closing cerimony for the 1980 moscow olimpic games, but I haven't seen that tape. I did see the tape with the breaking news about the Falkland wars, it's curious to watch it today.
It eventually broke, it dosen't show colors correctly anymore, although I do belive it still works, my dad has it in a box somewhere. I remember we bought a new VCR in the early 90s and the first movie I watched on it was Tom Hanks movie "Joe Versus the Volcano", around...1991, 1992.

Our first VCR was probably bought in 1984. It was a General Electric, a top loader. It too had the wired control, but we hardly ever used it because it hardly ever worked. I was the only person who could ever get it to work, but once I did, I could never remember afterwards what I had done to cause it to work. Don't you just hate when that happens? The tracking adjustments were done with dials. You had to push in Play and Record at the same time (those cool silver buttons) to record. You could set to record a channel by pressing little buttons on the front. These buttons corresponded to a little interchangeable faceplate with light-up numbers on it. I assume they were interchangeable because the plate would slide out. If there were any plates with other numbers on it, though, I could never find them, so I was usually stuck only being able to record channels 1-13. There were some notable exceptions, but I couldn't tell you how I was able to do that. There was a flip pannel below that with all these little clicky switches, and I have no idea what they did. You had to hold in the rewind or fast-forward buttons to scan while watching a tape, but the image was so distorted that it really did no good, and it was probably damaging to the tape. Finally, the only images it would show were distorted and fuzzy, and we finally replaced it in 1998.
Ah, fun times. I think we still have it around somewhere. I'm going to have to go look for it now!

The Shamen - Progen
I will not Fail nor Falter I shall Succeed
My Perception is Altered I do Believe
Faith is so Strong Now Nothing shall Bar my way
Firm Conviction is no Fiction This is my Day
I can Move Move Move Any Mountain
I can Move Move Move Any Mountain
I can Move Move Move Any Mountain
I Walk so Tall Ascending I Stand so High
Earth Below me Revolving Above the Sky
I Feel no Fear To be here is oh so fine
Shining Brightly Like Sunlight Inside my Mind
Well You Know that any Mountain Is Capable of Moving
The Shamen and The New Generation they Are Proving
You can be what You want to be
Let your soul and your body and your mind Be Free
Ain't nothing in the world that can hold us back
Write down a lyric put it down on wax
We can rock and take it straight to the top
With an attitude that's right and can't be stopped
Set your mind on what you want and you can go higher
Put detailed thought into every desire
Believe in yourself you know what you'll find
There is no "can't" in a trouble-free mind
One of a kind, We all are that
And going all the way is where I'm at
With delivery smooth like water from a fountain
That's why I can move Any Mountain Move Any Mountain
I can Move Move Move Any Mountain
I can Move Move Move Any Mountain
I can Move Move Move Any Mountain
I can Move Move Move Any Mountain
Move Any Mountain
Move Any Mountain
Move Any Mountain
Future Feeling new sensation
Body is rockin and the mind is reeling
And Rolling racing changing motion
Flowing like a river into the Ocean
Better get yourself ready For the next transition
'Cos the time is right for a new vibration
My Vision one nation one Tribe
One day'll come the might to Move Any Mountain
Move Any Mountain
Move Any Mountain
I can Move Move Move Any Mountain
I Walk so Tall Ascending I Stand so High
Earth Below me Revolving Above the Sky
I Feel no Fear To be here is oh so fine
Shining Brightly Like Sunlight Inside my Mind
I can Move Move Move Any Mountain
