Title: It's my anniversary................. Post by: Trevor on December 01, 2009, 03:48:11 AM It was twenty years ago today (1 December 1989) that the National Film Archives of South Africa first opened its' doors to a 22 year old, wearing a pair of 100 year old underpants. :buggedout:
I cannot believe that I have been here since then and that my childhood hobby has actually become my job, my bread and butter (or actually, my bread and a little bit of butter). I look forward to the next 23 years when both me and my undies will go on pension :smile: :teddyr: Title: Re: It's my anniversary.................

Twenty years can go by so quickly when you are doing what you enjoy. They must appreciate you: clearly the underpants have not been an issue!

They have been, they have: no one will do outreach film screenings with me! :twirl: Title: Re: It's my anniversary................. Post by: The Burgomaster on December 01, 2009, 10:32:43 AM 200 years from now, archaeologists will dig up the remains of the film archive, open a film can, and find a pair of soiled underpants. And they will wonder about the significance of this discovery for many years . . .

If our air conditioners were still somehow working, those underpants would have been frozen solid and would need a blowtorch applied to bring back their unique aroma. :buggedout: :buggedout: Title: Re: It's my anniversary.................
