Lego has to be older than 30 surely?

[funkydan]

Yes they are, and don't call me Shirley!

The Lego Group began in the workshop of Ole Kirk Christiansen, a carpenter from Billund, Denmark. Christiansen began creating wooden toys in 1932; the company began calling itself "Lego" two years later in 1934. The company expanded to producing plastic toys in 1940. In 1949, Lego began producing the now-famous interlocking bricks, calling them "Automatic Binding Bricks." These bricks were based largely on the design of Kiddicraft Self-Locking Bricks, which were released in the UK in 1947.

Celebrities including (from clockwise) The X Factor judges, Madonna, David and Victoria Beckham and Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt have been transformed into Lego people to mark the 30th birthday of the toy figures.

Maybe it's the Lego people themselves rather than the actual bricks.

Yeah, 1934 or thereabouts, but it was stolen from another person who had the original idea of blocks that need a certain amount of force to come apart. or something.

Spatial is on the money, it's to celebrate 30 years of "Lego people" - according to Teh Sun.

[Paulos G]

Well that explains it then. I thought I was playing with lego more than 30 years ago.

Had my upper-right wisdom pulled out today by my trusty dentist. Took him about 5 seconds. It's a big bastard too.

I also left with a Spiderman sticker.

[VR46]

How much did you pay for the privilege ?

Apparently I need two of my wisdom teeth out, but while they aren't giving me any grief they can stay where they are

[tiz]

thats kinda worth it lol

[Paulos G]

When I had one out a couple of years ago I had to be injected five times before the pain was bearable. Took bloody ages to come out and the sound was horrendous. I didn't get any stickers though but I did keep the tooth,

[tiz]

i have had to have 6 teeth out because my jaw was too small and im scared of the dentist so for half of them i had to be put under and then i found out i was allergic to the stuff they were giving me (bad times) lol so i had to be awake for the last ones and the worst one the root had wrapped around the bone in my mouth and he had to yank it out so hard i heard it crunch as it came off was crying with pain and fear was the most horrible day ever!

[Rossco]

That is why I hate the dentist!

[tiz]

me too i know i should go as i have problems now but theres no way im setting foot in there!

What's up with the weather ?, lovely yesterday, nicest day for weeks. Stepped out the front door this morning (about 7.30) and blooming freezing. Had to go back for a jumper.

Got one of the new 5p's in my change this morning, nice design, thought it was a dodgy one at first and nearly made myself look a right tit in the shop.

So tired after getting home from work this morning and not sure wether I should force myself to stay up or just soldier on and stay away until tonight and get back into a normal sleeping pattern for the weekend, which will no doubt result in me being shattered on monday night.

Would go for a nap but I know I'd sleep until about 6pm...

Also meant to be meeting the lads from work for a drink this arvo but not sure if I'll have the energy.

What do you guys think I should do?
