Yet another item you immediately realise you don’t have it already because you don’t need it, you don’t want it, and you never will need or want. A projector? In 1975, yes. Not today.

Oh…something along the lines that you LOVE the karaoke machine, and Scottish traditional melodies in general…

I see Jumperman Knowles is now an expert on visual aids now.
Or more like stating the bleeding obvious.
The output quality of that projector is absolutely f ****.
One of them said 'pin sharp'.
They've obviously never seen a sharp pin!

although it's not like it's hard to explain a projector, most of his talk is about what your laptop can show. the only technical bit is you plug this cable into this hole.

We had projectors in every classroom at the work, had to fit them to the roof to play onto whiteboards, usually linked up to workstations/laptops and DVD players. While they were great instead of TVs, they were a pest at times, teachers were forever needing help with them. Remotes were always going missing.

Hammy was a Teacher Urgh

This is like something along similar lines that I used to get extremely excited about when Dad used his cine projector to play a black and white Gregory Peck film called Marooned. I thought the film, played large and proud, and shaking and blurred, off my bedroom wall was absolutely amazing. Then again, I was 10 years old, and it was 1972.

No, Technician.

No, Technician.

So you were the one, who had to record school programmes, and drag the TV in the wooden box around

I was the Science Technician so spent most of the time there, but also had to help out with AVA/IT/Reprographics stuff as well, we had someone who recorded the TV programs on Video, but they didn't do a very good job. Spent a long time transferring all the V2000 tapes to VHS and then to DVD (thousands of programs over the whole school), in the end used to do the recording, editing and burning to DVD at home, much easier.
And yeah we had to shove TVs on trolleys about, in the early days there was only a few TVs but eventually every dept had their own TVs, but then we installed projectors in every classroom so TVs ended going for recycling.

I NEVER lie to you. But could that be questioned as a lie?

Oh man, was anything more exciting in school than when the TV trolley got wheeled in?!

…of course, the teacher wouldn't have a clue how to work it —"JUST CLUNK DOWN 'PLAY' ON THE MACHINE, MISS - NO THAT WON'T BREAK IT, IT'S HOW IT WORKS!!!!"— and once that hurdle was cleared, the remote would've fallen out of the caddy on the way to class so they couldn't turn it to the right channel.

Usually, by the time we were actually watching whatever it was we'd see about 10 mins of it before the 'end of class' bell cut in.

We get it Torchy, you own Creed, you've only mentioned it three times.

I bet Pete Waterman and Rod Stewart are just waiting to buy this to add to their model railways

He could actually shag himself given the right organs sewn on.

I sing myself and play guitar to a decent enough standard. I honestly don’t see the vocal talent in him he thinks there is. Pub singer at best based on what he is murdering this evening.

He reminds me of the drunk bloke who used to tunelessly sing Danny Boy on a Saturday night around closing time in the pub up the road to where I lived.

Janis trying to demonstrate the projector and it looks like fuzzy ghosts on a wall

"I want you to think about making memories with your family".

Good one - "remember the time dad wasted 70 quid on that awful projecter when we had a perfectly good flat screen telly. Aaaah, he really got conned by the guy with the big belt buckles."
