All I have to say is that me and Bill we're not just friends from the Internet, we are close friends for 13 years and we had long talks, VHS swaps, video-huntings in several weird places (strange stories that could fill the pages of a book!), long phonecalls, we have eat & drink many times together, we make gifts for our children birthdays and visits to their parties etc...

Of course we had a few bad times as all friends have...I don't like to mention them really as they're personal/private, and I always prefer to keep the good times - in fact too many more and much more important.

He mentions a f@cking phonecall where I called him a "jinx". Right, but I asked sorry the next day. Just for our records (!!) I don't beleive he's a jinx, I couldn't really beleive it for a friend. And he's always more than welcome in this forum.

As about that post in his blog I would prefer to be deleted - of course I cannot tell him what to do...

I deleted both previous posts about this matter. Some people maybe feel surprised that I changed my mind too easy. It wasn't too easy. We swap e-mails with Bill and I receive some other e-mails from friends about it. I thank you all for your interest.

Now... as I expected and wished, Miltos is back to normal again. Wise choice!

And of course, I have deleted my "shameful comments" on my blog.

Right, with Miltos it all started out with tapes etc and gradually it turned to a friendship.

Same with Lefteris and Nikos (IVC doctor).

However, I have realised, all 4 of us, as genuine crappy vhs collectors tend to be crazy now and then.
Ok, we're NOT that normal.... because IF we were we would NOT be collecting weird tapes of weird movies.
Like fishermen and hunters we tend to exaggerate now and then, gossip too etc..

AYMAN CASE

Ayman, I knew Turks are tough guys. You don't get daunted easily... nor forgive, nor ask for forgiveness... you know.

First of all, I just deleted that "shameful" post and all comments.
Then, let me explain in public that we've known eacher for about 5 years.
And your service to me is not restricted in a couple of biographies.
You always helped me make choices with films.
I usually get lists and you are the one who points out which titles are the most important.
And that IS IMPORTANT!
You told me what to avoid and what to choose.
You gave me ideas... marketing ideas, production ideas etc.
Thanks to YOU I made several and decisive changes and alterations to many things, like my way of presenting Onar and myself on my site and blog.
Etc etc etc....

Now, mate I just CAN NOT forget all the things you have done for me!

BUT, I CAN forget about that ebay incident.
It just happened... I don't know why, I don't know if it was really right or wrong etc.
All I know is that after ALL those years of good friendship and so many priceless things you've done for me, that ebay shit means nothing to me anymore.

See, when I put everything on the balance, I see that our good stuff weighs tons while that ebay shits weighs just a few grams.

I may have not given you face all these past days but, mate, you do have FACE!

Now, it's just up to you if you want to delete yourself from my life or not.

For me it's "water under the bridge" and whatever your decision is it will still be water under the bridge.

WHO'S THE JINX HERE??

Same day I posted here strange things started happening:
1- My night lamp near my pc just died and I couldn't work on the pc. I changed bulbs... nothing. I went to 10 shops to find a cheap night lamp but all of them either didn't have one or had it for 100 eur or would order it for next week etc.
I spent 3 hours just to find a godamn night lamp (for 35 euro)!

2- My dvd recorder machine just died! For no reason... it just won't make copies! It's just dead!

3- I've been rather sick all these past 4 days with some kind of flue... and every day I'm getting worse!

SO, WHO IS THE JINX IN HERE???
I HADN'T POSTED FOR MONTHS AND NOW HELL BREAKS LOOSE FOR ME!!
SO, WHO IS THE JINX IN HERE??? :angry: ..... :P :P :P

First of all, this is not my business but thought I should post a few words here because I know Bill and Miltos personally. Since the aerly days of my VHS collecting, I realized that arguing and fighting over rare tapes is ridiculous. Even if Bill finds a rare tape that I've been after for years and sells it to somebody else, its fine. He may be a friend of mine but I realize he's got bills to pay and has to sell it to somebody who will make the right offer. And besides that, I have other rare tapes in my collection- you just can't have it all. Unless you dedicate your whole life to VHS collecting and end up having NO life at all.

Yes, we are all obsessed, some more and some less. I spend all my spare cash on buying/making movies so I guess I am not a normal person either! But you guys get totally crazy sometimes! :D

Now, you can all hate me for this but I sincerely hope that RARE TAPES (and the VHS format in general) will disappear from the face of the earth real soon so that all these arguments will come to an end!

I'd suggest let's all meet and watch some fine movies and have delicious food and drinks. Instead of arguing about eBay, tapes and forum posts. Life is too short- let's have some fun or we'll die alone with our tapes :P

Yikes!! :o :blink:

Is that you Lefteris or some impostor??

Ok, I agree, so let ME help you with that vhs disappearing... PLEASE give me your whole collection. It'll be a big and WISE step. :)

Then, right, sounds like you got wiser by about 5 decades... life's too short so let's enjoy it.
Let's enjoy life, let's suck life, let's praise life, let's see the wild and really exciting side of life.... LET'S WATCH SOME MOVIES FOR A CHANGE! :lol:

Seriously now buddy, even if vhs becomes extinct, collectors will stick to dvd because then blue ray will have taken over... and when/if dvd dies too then collectors will stick to blue ray because it will have been substitued by....3-d discs?

The collecting instict is really strong on people.
I truly think that ALL people should collect something...whatever.
The most colorless and cold-blooded people I know do NOT collect a thing!

I started collecting magz at the age of 6.
I still have a huge collection.
I also collected LP recs for over 10 years.
Now it's videos.
When I'm an old fart... who knows, maybe photos from my old trips..

Well, I personally believe we better put some balance to our lives.
We need to balance JOB + FAMILY LIFE (for married guys) + HOBBIES + SOCIAL LIFE (friends etc).

If one is workaholic with little devotion to the other factors he'll be a miserable piece of shit.
If he just lives a virtual reality life with Games, PC, films, Net Chat etc he's as good as dead.
If he's only about Family and work and nothing else he's a PLANT.
Sadly, I tend to become a miserable shitty plant.. :( :(
