However, these are more for collectable purposes than for watching.

I have a laser disc of Pink Flamingos and the Ed Wood collection II, Glen or Glenda & Bride of the Monster. I just don't have a player, they just look so pretty.

Very cool disks to have!

Coming in on the whole pants debate. I'm confused myself, I use pants and trousers, I think it all depends on the fit but saying that I think a lot of people around my age grew up with Trev and Simon's "Swing Your Pants", maybe that's when pants took over.

It's the same as LP's, even if the artwork is crap, they just look so much nicer than dvds and blu-rays.

I'm living in 'pants' country at the moment, and I take extra care to call them trousers at every available opportunity.

I've lived in Yorkshire all of my life and have never heard a single soul use what appears to be a very obvious American term. Round here they are referred to as kecks, britches or trousers. We use the word pants to refer to underwear.

Which thread is this? The talking bollocks all night thread.

Pants, trousers, i'm from Lancashire and its trousers.

Nobody says suit pants, surely its suit trousers.

[PaulD]

I say 'pants' and so I shall officially declare this thread to be all talk and no trousers

I apologise for asking about thirty pages ago who the woman was on the Covert Affairs dvd cover.

That was the catalyst for this entire discussion.

This thread all went a bit pants....

My friend's husband is from Yorkshire, and he and his family say pants all the time!

Just goes to show the variety of language and terminology differences within regions.
