That sinclai bloke had really long arms, a huge f***ing head and a short, skinny body. Weird.

Met her a few years ago and she was canny. Also have a friend who won an early 'reality TV' competition that was part of an experiment on a Tomorrow's World spin off which was called Live Lab (I think).
Tomorrow's World was required viewing as I was growing up. Think it was on just before or just after Top of The Pops on a Thursday although I might be making that up.

Bizarre, I didn't know this was on, but thought about William Woolard earlier today, who I hadn't thought of in years.

I have Maggie to thank for being able to watch a video on the internet, on my phone of a lass using her vibrator.

Surprised no-one mentioned Maggie saying the phrase 'toss the salad'! I'm sure someone scripted that in deliberately!
