Hehe that's pretty painful, and I do remember the Pokemon craze very well and how bad it is to work in a toy store during that kind of thing. I also remember the Yugi-oh card craze a couple of years back... and Bey Blades! ARGH those were horrid times!  I know an even more embaressing one though... a girl that works with us actually ended up being in "Girls on the couch" in FHM magazine last month, due to giving an interview when she was drunk in a night club. The first she knew about it was when her dad went into the place where she works and bought a copy of it... I can just see hers and his face now... LOL. Kaz |

No pics...that's a pity (waits to be exalted!!!!)
I can share your pain Kaz. I once worked for a popular high street retail chain during the height of the pokemon craze. They did a day where kids would turn up, swap / steal each others pokemon cards and get high on sugar. As the new guy there at the time, i was made to supervise the festivities (longest 4 hours of 1999!). The boss took some photos that were apparantly used in the region's newsletter (often reliable sources of embarassing / cheezy pictures with forced smiles), but I didn't see it (thankfully) because after that day I left and got a better job!

LOL! Reminds me of an article featuring yours truly that was in a local newspaper many years ago just after I left school. I was doing some retail NVQ training and the paper interviewed me about it... for some reason the interview was reprinted in a really weird way and it made me sound like a complete retard. I've burnt every copy I've ever found of it, but my mates still remember and often take the opportunity to take the piss out of me with it. Oh and it didn't help that I looked like I'd just smoked a bunch of weed in the pic that accompanied it... I was pictured serving some kid with an Action Man toy or and when the cameraman took the pic I had a maniacal grin on my face... not really a guy you would want to trust to work for you!  Kaz any pics? scans?  Nope... and there NEVER will be ;D Kaz |

Also a newbie, and now a visitor of WAFP. You seem more oganised than a lot of pressure groups out there! It must be a real passion for the cause Nightmarish polka dot song indeed! No other TV presenter could hit an 8 year old kid with a foam mallet anymore, cos the Daily Mail and other uber-pc crusaders would consider that such an act would incite violence in impressionable youngsters. To be related to the Mallet is an honour indeed. Political correctness indeed... I have to say that is probably my most hated phrase, whenever I hear it, it makes me cringe. I agree, I'm sure if Wacaday was back on TV, within weeks there'd be a front page article of how some innocent 15 year old watched it and clubbed someone to death with a mallet... such is the way things are these days  LOL!

I had a friend who was on wacaday. He won mallets mallet cos the other kid answered 'mouse' to the question topic which was 'cheese'!. I Got his folks to dig up the old tape to humilate him on his 21st birthday. Haven't heard from him since!

I've said it before, but I'll say it again, welcome to the forum man  Timmy Mallet, really? Jeez, I remember watching Wacaday as a kid, in fact I can remember at one point during the school summer holidays I used to get up first thing every morning specifically to watch the show, and to see someone getting hit with that foam mallet.... which as a 5 year old I found hilarious ;D I have to say though, I still have nightmares about his "itsy witsy teeny weeny yellow polka dot bikini" song!

Hi all! ... i've been posting on this forum for quite a while now, but i never actually introduced myself! i'm Debujin; artist, fighting games afficionado, and appreciator of Japanese culture, animé/manga, and martial-arts. I first really got into SNK very recently, after playing Garou: MotW - previously i had dabbled with titles like KoF and Metal Slug, but otherwise i've been a staunch Capcom fan for many years. However, in the short time that i've been visiting NGFL.com, i've become extremely interested in SNK and Neo-Geo games, and various MVS carts are now a large part of the games collection upstairs - a collection which i'm working on whittling down to only contain fighting games (and related items). A bit extreme, i realise, but i really do consider myself to be a serious fighting games fan. ... in fact, this is a brief example of how serious i am. Tomorrow, i intend to swap a video of the 80's Zelda cartoon, and a Super Mario Sunshine signed by Shigeru Miyamoto (amongst other items) for PS2 Street Fighter 3: Third Strike. ... i also work for the W.A.F.P (Warriors Against Foul Play), which is a free-to-join organisation of fighting games players who are against cheap and scrubby play in fighting games. There's more information at wafp.da.ru - if you're interested, feel free to drop by (and you're welcome to join!  ) Well, that's about it from me. Ah, by the way... if any of you remember the TV show 'Wacaday' that used to air in the 1980s, then you may be interested in this little trivia tidbit - i'm related to bespectacled plaster-wearing presenter Timmy Mallett (second cousin). Okay, that really is about it from me... if you're interested, you can see examples of art i've worked on in the NGFL fan-art section. Hmm... yes, i think that's enough. |
