NEIL'S HARD DRIVE: 2001-2004

Oh, the pain, the pain. Once so full of life, so welcoming, so ready to please - only to end up as empty as Harold Bishop's head after a trip to the seaside in a matter of seconds.
The failure of the above mentioned computer organ has left a void in the heart of the lowculture collective*, and we are only just beginning to come to terms with our loss.
Nearly 30gb of crap in the form of MP3s, photographs and software, not to mention every bastard thing that had been written for the website, now only remains in this writer's even less reliable brain.
We also lost some fairly important work stuff. But in a sense it has died alongside the hard drive, for it shall never be mentioned again.
But where's the support? The only reference to computer failure in the world of low culture we can think of is when Gayle and Gillian were trying to cure a computer virus at Lassiter's by typing feverishly - without there actually being any particular package loaded up on screen.
We think this heart-wrenching subject should be brought to life in a hard hitting TV drama, or at least a Dear Denise on This Morning.
So as we painfully reinstall every eff-ing thing we had managed to back up, the computer itself is now blank canvas. So we ask you, purveyors of the lowest culture has to offer, which three essential items that are freely available on the web should be the first to find a space on the now pristine disk?
*Not to mention various gaps in the site itself, thanks to the cleansing of the latest batch of Fuck Me Facts. Ahem.

About Us

According to Marxist theory, cultural forms such as opera, classical music and the literary works of Shakespeare all fall under the heading of high culture. Low culture refers to a wide variety of cultural themes that are characterised by their consumption by the masses. We might not be Marxists, but we do know we loved Footballers Wives. If you do too, you'll know what this is all about.
