After SOMEONE in my household TAPED 5 MINUTES over my video (recorded copy) I was distraught.My life would never be the same again. i started panicking...how was i going to cope? would deprevation cause long term effects? most video copies had run out in England and how was i going to cope whilst some brave pioneer went in search of a precious VHS as rare as gold dust?
dejectedly i walked down the street of my local town, deep in my thoughts mohican warriors dancing barefooted through my head. In smiths i paused and glanced up at the new shelf constructed for the intrusion of new technology, the DVD.
To use the apt idiom, I could hardly believe my eyes! there in a new case just waiting to be re-discovered was the film of my dreams!
and then it hit me...you have no DVD player. I was crushed. like magua on the rock, my body doubled over and i felt sick...Then it hit me again..our new PC!! that plays DVDs!my elation now turned to that of the lovers nathaniel and cora as i hugged my very first official copy to my chest fiercely. and the words came to me "i will find you, no matter how long it takes, no matter how far, i will find you" i smiled.
