91. You check what's showing on the ITV DSat transponders at least twice a week to see if any sub-regions are on yet.

92. You've signed up to the members area on the David Lowe website.

94. You got really annoyed with your school teachers when they fast-forwarded through idents and clocks when showing videos in class.
