This morning I saw an old lady with a Blockbuster Video carrier bag.

Unusual given how long the name/store has been out of business but what struck me as particularly odd is that the bag was in pristine condition.

There's a Pete's Pizza in Leicester. They have an eclectic design aesthetic to their restaurant. In the waiting area there's a huge illuminated Blockbuster sign. I'll try and get a pic for you people,  next time I'm passing by.

A mate of mine is still using bags from a record store that closed down over a decade ago, and has some in his flat from one that closed before I first moved to Jersey, 18 years ago.

Has he ever considered that these places might have closed because he was stealing astronomical numbers of bags from them?

A friend of mine lives in Blackpool and mentioned seeing people walking about with Blockbuster bags. Apparently there is a second hand shop that's giving them out.

Dude, I had mash on a pizza and that's what you pull me up on? 

Fair play. The mashed potato part is pretty awesome.

There's no way I was not picking that up though. I thought going for the jokey route might've gone down a bit better. Oh well.
