Random Quote #32
Many people hear voices when no one is there. Some of them are called mad and shut in rooms where they stare at walls all day. Others are called writers and they do pretty much the same thing.

Dear DVD Releasing People...
...I am writing to ask you a very important question.
Why oh why oh why do you keep refusing to release certain DVDs in the UK? There are some really cool series out there that I would love to be able to watch again and again but you seem to avoid releasing them here.
In one instance you have actually released the first season in the UK but then decided against a UK release for season 2. That's a bit daft isn't it?
Oh yes there are region 2 versions out there but in order to get them I would have to fork out £50 a time and the cover would be in Dutch, which is a language that I do not speak.
It looks as though I am going to be forced to buy a new DVD player and get the Region 1 versions imported. Even with the cost of a new DVD player included, importing Region 1s from USA still works out cheaper than buying the Region 2 Dutch versions.
It makes no sense to me.
Do you think that they wouldn't sell in the UK? If that is the case then I suggest that you speak to the television channels and have them stop showing these series in the UK. Especially if you have no intention whatsoever of releasing them on DVD there.
You get us enthralled and then leave us disappointed when we cannot own them on DVD (even a Blu-ray release would be an improvement).
Yours faithfully

Random Thought #24 - What a Waste!
I don't know how many series there have been, but something has occurred to me.
At the beginning of Supersize Vs Superskinny when they show the... patients? Contestants? Well when they show the people how much food they eat in a week they pour it all in to a big tube.
What a waste! It has honestly only just occurred to me that it is such a big waste of food. If they didn't mix it all together they could have given to... someone, I don't know who off the top of my head. But you would have to be pretty desperate to eat any of that once it is all mixed in together - cake, burger, chocolate and chicken tikka masala anyone?
No?!?!?!
What if it's washed down with spaghetti bolognese, ice cream and cola?
Nope didn't think so.
At the risk of sounding repetitive... what a waste!
