TruffleShuffle fans! We're back with another (and final!) installment of our long running TruffleShuffle Insider series which has been giving all you lot a little look into the lives of each and everyone of us behind these scenes here at TruffleShuffle.com.

A perfect chance for us to reveal, who we are, what makes us tick and well perhaps just put some names to faces to anyone who has been in touch before. Stalking if you wish :)

This time we're taking a few moments to introduce our very latest member of the team, welcome fun loving foreign affairs hero Annette to the stage! Take it away...

What do you do here at Truffle Towers?

Well, I translate all the English blurbs into German blurbs, and help with any German or French correspondence within customer services. I am pretty German all in all (ever been to Berlin?).

Sweet marmalade one toast! It's only the weekend back again!

So like one of the hottest crime scene investigators in town, we find ourselves facing another classic case of retro movie mystery. We'll glove up and start eagerly digging for clues as we slowly uncover all the traces of cinematic greatness that the weekend has to offer. We'll bag up only the most important evidence before taking it back to the lab to further uncover the hidden truths that may lie within and capture them forever onto celluloid wonder.

Have a happy retro weekend!

We're back with another 10 Things You Didn't Know About… special blog post peeps! Oh how we love to dig up some retro treasure and perhaps potential pub quiz trivia.

Today to help celebrate the release of our exclusive new Mean Girls T-Shirts we're diving head long into the weird and wonderful world of The Plastics with a little look at some top cool facts we discovered about 2004 classic! Sit back, relax and enjoy the ride...

1. Regina George's signature long, blonde hair was actually a wig. - Her hair was too short for the character's look so they had to improvise. Wouldn't have been the same without it right?

2. Lindsay Lohan was initially cast as Regina, but she didn’t want people to associate her with the “mean girl” character in real life. It happens right? Rachel McAdams was instead cast as Regina, because “only nice girls can play mean girls.”

3. Actress Amy Poehler (Regina’s mom) is actually only seven years older than Rachel McAdams (Regina). Movies are weird.

As 80s kids, we spent much of our childhoods living through the weird and wonderful time that was the 90s. This was a strange, mysterious and generally colourful place where you could be wowed by even the simplest things like analogue controllers, 3D gaming and even split screen gaming!

Like most teenagers in the land then and now, gaming was a huge part of our social and anti-social lives. It passed the time during school holidays and weekends, it brought friends together aaaaand probably caused the odd sibling argument over who was hogging it the most. We've all been there.

Doing what we like to do best, we've been looking back on these good old days (are we really that old already?!) and thinking up some of our biggest memories from these pixel-tastic times. Check out some of our top retro gaming memories!

1. When you console was one of the only things you could play music with...

Yep we've been there. When we first had a PS1 we were still rocking our old tape player. This might just be us being behind the times but for a lot of us, the trusty console was the newest and best thing ever and we used it for as much as we sure could.
