Charlie Gillet on Sunday evening BBC, recorded on stereo VHS 120s using the timer. My VHS machine had a mode for recording external audio (no video) which was an FM tuner. I still have dozens of the tapes and the machine.

Watch one of the many super funny Jerry Lewis movies ...
But some 40 years later, somehow I now fail to see why I was always laughing my insides out ...
Not that it's not funny anymore, but my tastes in humor have moved on to something else (and I keep looking for what it is and still sadly not finding it)

Go to sleep at night thinking "the future is probably going to be okay"

@artemis Although checks are written as drafts on a bank account, they indicate our authorization of the funds. I still use them. We just bought a car that way. I also hand write letters and especially thank you notes. What we don’t do is host parties. #thingsweusedtodobutdontnow

Send 15 postcards to folk back home whilst on holiday, whilst fully realising that you would be back home before half of them arrived. Also using the ‘ Weather’s here, wish you were beautiful’ joke on most of them.

used to write "3" normally, then like this for a while, then back to normal

#thingsweusedtodobutdontnow it's actually something I still do whenever possible, despite how hostile every payment structure has become towards it- write paper checks.

I like the certainty of handing over cash or a facsimile. Checks are basically custom denomination bank currency and there is something timeless about writing and mailing a check.

The local daily still exists, but they stopped printing the Monday paper.
