Blimey I was just listening to the radio tonight when the broadcast was interupted to announce that Martians had come to earth in droves and landed in Rosie, sorry Mikes toilet yesterday evening and the military had just released the frightening details. Apparently they have been monitoring the forum for months now on the lookout for cheap GS1200s ( not much chance of that !!!) and picked up on cinenega.GS.ive content. It appears that the reason there is such a short fall of affordable GS`s now is that in the late 70`s and early 80`s Martians disguised wearing human look suits bought up most of the affordable GS`s in the local papers etc and took them to Mars where there is a thriving super 8 movement. It is now believed that its actually the Martian love of cine that has kept the hobby going and they regularly pop to earth to buy new super 8 features and trailers etc from Derann and other dealers, even appearing at film conventions. Its said you can recognise them becuase the skin suit is often a bit saggy or loose fitting and they smell of mouldy old socks. Anyway back to the news. A huge fleet has apparently decsended upon Mikes house and taken over his toilet while he was sat there reading the paper looking for anything cine in the small adds to shift on on ebay when suddenly the door burst open and a wave of intense light flooded in. Next strange looking creatures heads popped around the door and surveyed a rather astonished looking Mike. "We have come to reprogramme your GS type thinking" came a thin metalic voice."They are the best, all and everything" After being given time to sort himself out Mike was taken "roughly" I mean escorted to the Mother ship and probed for negative feedback on the top of the range elmo super 8 projector. After hours of lengthy observation Mike was forced to ingest microscopic nanobots that would rush though his body, locate the GS negativity and purge it from his system. Then as quickly as they had come, once they had sneaked off wit his 100 foot super 8 copy of "Video Killed the Radio Star" they were gone. Its just emerged that next moring Mike awoke remembering all of this as if it had been a dream and after breakfast rushed to the phone and contacted all of the UK cin`e dealers one after the other trying to buy a GS that needed the plastic parts reprofiling for £1400. Sadly no-one had one, so he has been left dazed and shaken and desperate to buy one of the excellant machines The military have also advised Mike that under no circumstances should he ever denigrade the wonder that is the GS1200 in future for fear that he may cause further large scale invasions. Well thankfully the threat seems to have passed now and lets hope Mike has learnt his lesson.
Best Mark. ( one seriously worried ST600 owner who has just fitted a new lock to his bathroom door.)

Now Son
You are now a esteemed Sexypert annointed by the The Wise One of All in a secret ritual performed at the stroke of midnight last night. By the way you were to roll your trouser legs up not drop your trousers.
You are a pillar of collectia, an elder and a wise arse who will be questioned and sought out for all manner of advice from collectors all over the universe.
People who dont even know you will be baffled by you and your insight.

Now come on Mike just because you don`t have your wings yet. Bet I beat to you to master what not. Used to have a poor lad at school who`s surname was Bates, I bet you can imagine what he used to get called, nice lad but I bet it left scars after a bit too much of it, the joking.

Funny, I worked with a girl who always insisted on being called Ms Bates even though she was married. When she had a son someone enquired was he going to be called Master ####.
Seriously how will you cope being a Master Film Handler. Any tips

I can only assume that this thread is part of a conspiracy by the comedy duo of Newell and Todd (M&M?) to dramatically increase their posting totals and catch up to Master Faulkner. Doug

WeLl I`m back but I`m afraid there has been a bit of a dissaster, and I`m not talking about having all of my Y-fronts stolen off the washing line by a roaming band of Mongolian Horse Bandits.( But that was a bit of a shocker). No what it is I can`t open those flamin photos. Wow I thought, the Antipodean minx is going to show me just what shes got and then nothing. I can tell you its been a big dissapointment for a lad, almost as bad as sitting down to watch big brother or the like and expecting to be entertained!!!!!!!!! So my sad little pad remains Kylie free. Have you checked out Robs celebrity Oops, thats always worth a look. best Mark.

This old thread was linked to me by another member. I find it very funny but have only replied to it in order to gain another point.
