Who would have thought the twenty seven thousand copies of Bula Quo! left mysteriously ( although Old Reg called it maliciously after watching the film ) on our doorstep should cause such problems on the first Saturday of National VHS and Beta Video month. Our plan was to give the first twenty seven people through the door of The Abandoned Video Shop a thousand copies each. Well you have never seen such rude and ungrateful people at being given a thousand videos in your life.
"A thousand?" The first customer said. "What am I going to do with a thousand of these bloody things?"
"Give them as presents," I suggested.
"I don't hate anyone that much," he replied and wandered off.
"Perhaps we should bleedin' well give them one copy each," Old Reg said and I nodded seeing the logic there.
Well you have never seen such rude and ungrateful people at being given a free video in all your life. And a copy of Bula Quo! hurts when it is thrown at your head believe me, it hurts nearly as much as watching it.
So after a quite busy first Saturday of the National VHS and Beta Video Month, we now have twenty six thousand nine hundred and eighty five copies of Bula Quo! still up for grabs. So it looks like you won't have to rush if you want one.

The Opening of National VHS and Beta Video Month!
I left the booking of the stars, who are coming to The Abandoned Video Shop, to sign their videos, this month to Old Reg. Well it was his idea. As he put it: " You get a lotta these idiot geeks in if you've got old stars coming."
So I was very excited to see the list of stars Old Reg had coming for National VHS and Beta Video Month.
"Wow," I exclaimed on scanning the list. "Sly Stallone, Dolph Lundgren, Arnie, Kurt Russell,Rita from Coronation Street."
"Yep,"Old Reg smiled proudly. "And they all look like them as well."
"Look like them?" I asked. "What do you mean look like them?"
"Lookalikes," he said still smiling proudly.
"The real people are not coming?"
"Course not," Old Reg said shaking his head. "As if you can get Rita from Coronation Street just like that."
Oh well, so if you want to see some top rate lookalikes why not pop into the Abandoned Video Shop this month.
Oh yes, before I forget, just because it is National VHS and Beta Video Month, that doesn't mean we are a dumping ground. Last night someone left twenty seven thousand copies of Bula Quo on our doorstep. So, under the principle that if fly tippers give you lemons, make lemonade. We will give the first twenty seven people through the door tomorrow a thousand copies of Bula Quo each. That is on a first come first serve basis.
