Page 1 of The pending pile....oooh `eck!

Thanks to a proliferation of bargains in the last six months (Complete Sherlock Holmes (Brett - £36); Holmes movie set (Rathbone - £14.99) Abbot and Costello collection 23 movies ( £18 ); Six Million Dollar Man season 1 (£6.99) etc etc ...) my pending pile has grown to indefensible proportions...probably 100 discs plus....

....anyone else share this `too much stuff, too little time` problem?! And what`s in your pending pile? :/

Go that way, really fast. If something gets in your way, turn...

And those who dance will spin and turn,
And those who wait will wait no more,
And those who talk will hear the words,
And those who see will fade and die,
And those who laugh will surely fall,
And those who know will always feel their backs against the thin wall...

lol, snap
Firefly & Serenity
Profit(seen it on tv, years ago)

Amercian Dad(seen it on tv)
Family Guy(seen it on tv)

Simpsons 1-8 obviously I`ve seen all the episodes, but only couple from seaosn 1 on DVD!

blackadder box set from Christmas 05, well we watched episode 1 of season 1!
Fat Actress (seen it on tv)
Black Books 3
Band of Brothers(seen it on tv)

I give up, it`s depressing! Thats just top of my head without thinking about it :(

Profit and BoB, I bought cos they were cheap, and I`ve seen them but gf hasn`t, and I think she`ll like them, one day we may find out.

films, list is too long. i think I`m at the stage now where I own more DVDs I haven`t seen than have! I`m a sucker for Asda, Play etc when films are £5, cos I alwasy think "fiver, not much more than renting it, may as well give that a go"

Do them NOW.

As for me Doctor Who boxsets S1 & 2 & classic series, still got New Beginings to come in the post. Gawd I miss my weekly train trips Paddington - Exeter (used to be able to watch so much stuff).



I consider myself an optimist, albeit an optimist with cynical tendencies and a dark side that Lucifer himself would find a little creepy. (Perhaps you've noticed.) You don't normally associate cynicism with an upbeat pov. But I have exactly that combination and will defend it.

Todays goal is to exceed yesterdays record level of totally unverifable productivity.

I don`t understand why people knock ASBO`s, they are good things as for most of the recipients, these are the only qualifications they will ever have.

Mine is way too many

Ranma 1/2 S1-6
Xfiles S1,2
Alias S1-2-3
Smallville S1-2-3
Babylon 5 THE FULL UNIVERSE
Superman Ultimate Edition Discs 8&9
the 10disc Matrix Set
Alien3 and 4 in the 9disc boxset
Cowboy Bebop Movie
Omen
Willow
Project A Pt1&2
24 - S1-4

And as for Indian Movies
Don2006
MunnaBhai 1&2 (First one to be remade in hollywood "A gangster tells his parents that he is a doctor - when they come to teh city each year he acts as a doctor in a hospital - one year he is found out and to win back his parents he enrolls in college to become a real doctor")
Krissh (Indian Superherp film)
Doom (rip off of Fast and Furious)
Dus
and loads of others.

Not enough time - thinking off quitting my job to catch up on my movies!

^ I smell a western-themed weekend.

I cut right back on my DVD buying and, subsequently, haven`t got a pile per se, as any new stuff just gets bunged into my collection and watched when I fancy it. I`ve got stuff from last year`s sales I`ve forgotten about and haven`t got round to watching.

However, games piles, that`s another story. Half of my games collection has yet to be played. I can`t seem to cut back on them. :/

I`ve got a pile of films to watch, and lots of TV series too. Still got Alias, Season 2, 3, 4 and 5 to watch yet, as well as lots of new episodes of current series.

I`ve also got three or four games that I`ve not been able to barely touch yet, because of lack of time. And I`m not even half way through Gears of War yet either. :(

If you ever fancy a co-op game, let me know. It will get you through it quicker because the AI dies all the time
