I hired this chateau last summer and was very disappointed. All the house plants were dead. The kitchens smelled of wee and there was a dead dog in one of the beds. To cap it all, the TGV goes past at 200kph - every five minutes. Never again.

A tin of Colman's powdered mustard. Ambrosia custard. Severed head of last victim - in a hat-box.

SHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

During a Bestival, a member of 'the group' decided (most unwisely) to exit the festival in search of a local pint. The local fuzz busted him for various bits and pieces found about his person. He was fancy-dressed as a giant banana at the time. (Not so funny in court though, obviously.)

Those in the know also have exceptionally soft skin. http://www.alternativeinsectrepellent.co.uk/?gclid=CNynjuTprZ8CFVVu4wodEw3o0w

Anything over an ounce.. I mean 28.35 grammes (bloody EU) and it's a Stretch in The Big House breaking rocks whilst a man ("The Man") looks on in mirrored sunglasses. Anything less than an 1/8 and they smoke it with you whilst discussing the line-up at The Glade. Or something like that.

I agree with Eater. How many innocent law-abiding herb-smoking, pill-munching, G-drinking, nitrous-inhaling, coke-snorting, mdma-dabbing, mephedrone-bombing perfectly respectable citizens will fall foul of this underhand tactic?

Under the scrot/betwixt the cheeks are popular spots for secreting naughties. They probably train the dogs to get their noses in there.

I'd definitely give it a go before you write if off - you might like it. I went in a group of six and I was the only one who cocked a snook at it.

Occasionally people have managed to keep a thread not 'specifically' about ED in the general section. They did it by asking nicely and pleading a reasonable case in a civil and reasonable manner - as opposed to mooing indignantly like a startled cow.

This should probably be in the 'about this forum' section.

It's like an episode of 'The Apprentice' where they make a TV advert for something - but forget to mention the name of the product.

I'm no expert at the petitioning game, but isn't the idea to gather as many signatures as possible? The page you link to seems to be more interested in looking like a second-rate Viz spoof than gathering signatures. Indeed, you won't even see the word 'petition' unless you scroll down through though two pages of stuff and happen to spot the miniscule petition box to click on.

Start a petition to get the petition reinstated?

Yeah.. well I tried it and I say 'no thanks' too. One of the nice things about the beeg screen is that you're free to cast your eye anywhere you want over a huge viewing area as whatever goes on in the foreground happends. 3D seems set-up to force your eye to the focal points 'they' want you to look at, which spoils the cinema experience somewhat. Not to mention the very real possibility of landing a pizza on the head of the person sitting in front.

Glasses, yes - just not cardboard in red and green. Plastic - in slightly different hues. But the principle seems to be the same. It does look 'pretty amazing', there's no denying it. But I found the bits that didn't quite work properly (issues with 3D around peripheral vision, for example) to be distracting and drew attention to themselves in a way that pulled me out of the supposedly immersive experience of watching a film. The 3D effects seem to be divided into 'subtle' and 'look here's a 3D effect'. If it was hardly any of the latter and mostly all of the former I might have enjoyed it more, unfortunately as it was, the whole 'experience' made me feel thoroughly queasy.. and only subsided when I took the things off. Guess I'm just a 3D wuss.

You can certainly 'see where the money went'. Couldn't get on with (first time) 3D though. Made me want to blow chunks into my bag of Revels. Never again.

Not sure I quite get what a 'meme' is? Seems like a good one though, whatever it is. Avatar is Pocahontas.. only with more explosions.

Avatar.. Fail?

Actually I quite enjoyed it. Not everybody gets to see a full-on fight break-out between two women whilst playing the whistle solo on 'The Winds of Change'.
