ME!

Oooops.

Had a couple of old computers at work. Had to take the best bits to make one half-usable machine. Did that. Tried to turn it on to install Windows NT.

Nothing.

Not a sausage.

Checked it was all connected properly, and yep, it was.

Thought the power supply might be knackered, so spent ages taking one out of another machine and then swapping them over.

Same, not a thing.

Had a word with mananger, only for him to open up the plug to see there was no fuse. Ooops.

Ah well.

I feel a bit of a t**, but Blockbuster have got by 2 DVDs get third free, so I'm going to treat myself to Arlington Road, Mean Streets, and probably Sleepers now.

Unless someone else can recommend another film instead?

How long has it been since you saw L.A. Confidential? Go for that.

I haven't seen LA Confidential.

I just remember I wouldn't mind seeing Grosse Point Blank.

But it all depends whats in the offer, as it's not ALL DVD's, just a selection - they want to get rid of older titles I guess...

If they have LA Confidential, go for that. Grosse Point Blank didn't impress me that much. Have you seen any Kevin Smith films?

I *think* I saw Mallrats once.

That's one of his, isn't it?

Or am I thinking of someone else?

Yep, Mallrats is one of his best. Go for Clerks or Dogma, if they have them.
