There being a tube strike on Boxing Day.

[nakamura]

Yep. A football match is off already. I hate that. Xmas is about presents, beer, food and sports.

All of these names were submitted at least twice, so there's a couple of Thunders knocking about this year. Maybe in years to come, they'll hook up with Jagger and Sesame.

There were nine children named HIPPO this year!

Saw that on the news. Thought the same.

Tron? Own up, it's got to be someone here using that name.

Ad on the radio for Morrisons:
"Christmas can be a bit dull for non-meat eaters, so we've got an exciting fish counter"
I was expecting to hear about some exciting vegetarian dishes.....

[Brad]

You've confused vegetarian with pescetarian

Mentioned it in another thread but parents who buy 18 rated games for their kids.

"How bad is it?"

"Bad enough that it's an 18".

"But is it just violent or is there other stuff".

"Well, lots of violence, sexual depravity, sexism, racism and foul language".

"Oh, I don't let him play anything with swearing".

What. The. Feck?!

Seriously. I despair.

I watched 18 movies (mostly Schwarzenegger, had most of his films on tape!) & played 18 games during my childhood, granted the games were more tame back then (Die Hard Trilogy/GTA/Resident Evil etc.) but I don't think it had a detrimental effect on my growth or behaviour, I think it all depends on how mature they are and if you they can handle/understand things.

Did me no 'arm!

[Dogg Thang]

Who knows what you would have been had you not been exposed to those, Harry. CEO, prime minister, balloon animal dude, astronaut, surfer... the list goes on.

So the NRA had a week to respond to last weeks appalling shootings; their response? Blame videogames and a database of the mentally ill. Jesus wept.
