I once banned everyone from the forum, including myself.

There was this one time when I accidentally shredded a load of paperwork from the TVS Archive.

I couldn't get any lady's shoes in my size so had to go to one of those specialist shops......

Convinced my parents to get rid of Sky to save £38 per month. Ended up getting a Now TV box and now they're paying £34 per month just for Sky Sports.

Gone from saving £456 per year to just £48 per year.

This is the first time I’ve heard of someone convincing their parents to get rid of Sky.

Well, why pay for something that we don't use when we can spend the money on better things elsewhere. I will admit though, they are watching the Sky Sports channels a lot more than the channels they used to pay for.

I managed to leave the BBC 2 distribution to the Rowridge transmitter unplugged after some work one night, and caused the following morning's Open University programmes to be rebroadcast at a later date.

I accidentally sent all the wireless cameras crazy during the marathon at the Olympics, meaning there was nothing available to film the actual race for what felt like ages, but was actually only a few seconds.

Nothing compared to that scart issue I admit...

Lost the remote control for half an hour once. Think that puts all your stories into perspective! Wink

Methinks this thread should be renamed 'TV Confessions'

I spilled Coke on a generator in TVC in 2001. I don't think anyone noticed.

There was so much coke flying around at TVC that I doubt anyone would have batted an eyelid..... Laughing
