Julie Amiri could only reach orgasm by being arrested. She was detained 53 times for shoplifting from 1985 to 1993 but was never convicted.
In the mid-eighties some of the guys I worked with came from a company that used to manufacture standalone boxes for ceefax and teletext. We had systems to generate test pages in our labs that they had brought with them. I can remember building standalone boxes and using them for several years at home.Johnny Byrne's Boots wrote:Years ago when Ceefax was in its infancy and televisions didn't incorporate it, a chap called J.F. Daniels designed a stand alone decoder, and its construction and theory appeared over several issues in Wireless World. I'm proud to say Jim was my immediate supervisor at work for a few years and an all round good chap, even if he did have a brain the size of a planet.

I would then very gently use my hand to cover the opponents name, without looking ......and slowly reveal their score. My hope is that would still be nil.
Then, it got really exciting because I knew, at the very least we were not losing.
And then I could, with some excitement reveal our own score, either from behind my remote, or towel or other hand.

Really gave me a warm glow to see some of those players again, but quite shock just how much things have changed. After all these years, I couldn't get my head around the idea of seeing only two subs!
