Ok, i'm completely guilty of waistcoat wearing and having a choker, and a plastic dummy, and an ear cuff * oh the shame!* I'm sure we all stank of Impulse underneath our puffa jackets and shell suits, but at least we had quality saturday entertainment like Gladiators, which, by the way, is now added to my things i miss list - what a cool programme! They should so bring that back onto telly - if Noel Edmonds is back on tv then i'm sure there's an opportunity for Gladiators to return!
