Well, the poll has spoken. Out of the (did I break double figures?) responses came a clear preference for the old computer game days. I think it was just before Christmas 1992 that I took my new video camera into the office and asked Andolf (Graeme Anderson) to be the presenter. You can see me in my Halo Jones T-Shirt somewhere in the middle of it. My desk is surrounded with bits of paper containing Hired Guns material. Right at the end, you can see a very disdainful Mike Dailly, which has a certain level of irony since I gave him a copy of this a couple of years ago and he bloody posts it to YouTube without asking!!!!
I had this half-assed notion that I'd gather together every possible bit of video relating to DMA and make it into a documentary. I have the DMA fireworks display, the Lemming we made out of snow in the car park, and a dozen b/w frames from an episode of Working Lunch which featured us sometime in 1996. Much other stuff as well, including the big boss Dave Jones telling a sweary anecdote! (Which Mike also uploaded without asking! Bah, at least I still have the pudding eating competition on video. You don't have that on tape Mikey boy, do ya!)
Still, a documentary about DMA? Who'd be interested in such a thing? :)

I guess I owe you a chippie (or indian) for services rendered then :)
It's reward enough that someone reads my blog!
LOL - yeah, know what you mean! I decided a long time ago that the blog was mainly for me, and if anyone else actually enjoyed reading it, then it was a bonus!
We're all so young! Good times.
Yeah, let's have a reunion party and point at each other and laugh!!
Andolph. Christ, there's a blast from the past.
Last I knew, he was working at Devils Thumb Entertainment. But since that was ten years ago and DTE no longer exists, I guess that's all I can say.
