Although it says above 555 was lottery. Could have sworn it was now & next?
Apparently it was actually 606.
I have failed my childhood.

601-605 was channel listings, 606 was the all conquering NOW AND NEXT!
I remember at some point using Ceefax to keep track of extra time in a playoff final - everytime I refreshed it the score changed. Probably more exciting than actually being able to watch the game... or, well... not...

Should have posted in the nostalgia thread really... but then, it was the fact that this was page 888 that caused the random thought.

I don't understand why, but I've been having really strange delusions lately.
about the same stuff as always: Cat Power.
who oddly enough just released an addition to her last record SUN, called Bully,
it's a piano ballad about a 27 year old kid who fantasizes about a romantic evening in Paris, all the while having a mental episode.
Boy, you’re a bully
Through the grass and the river you chase
You were cruel, you were so mean
Laughing right in my face
All the while you had my back, my best friend
I can still feel that smile on my face
27 was a good year, the best
The back of the bar watching me dance in a dress
Remember that night in Paris, all those candles you lit
You and all the alcohol
Sleeping on the street, sleeping on a …
Looking like a crook for trying to come back home
With a twist of your tongue and a devilish smile on your face
When you get sick
You were through with fun and games
Now that the times have all changed
I can’t find you,
I can’t put you back into place
Nothing could be done
For this young, wild son
Standing on the street in a hosṗital sheet
All on the run from the police
Dumb girl on your arm
That look on your face
And all those crazy things you said to me
I can never forget
Everything you have to go through
With a smile on your face
Everything we now know, with a smile on our face
I, I can never forget
