I don't blame you, it's pretty terrible here. I live in a city with a lot of racial tension and there are groups of people who will quite happily own up to going out "Paki bashing" at the weekends. Hope she's in a nicer area than round here.

I thought it was so that they could see him walking along on impossible tippy-toes, or leaning too far forward to make the posture/movement look more unsettling and less human. There was also a moment near 0.20 where I don't think he would have been able to move so smoothly without some support.

All I see is an adorable ball of fur and can't for the life of me spot a cookie, so I'm convinced your dog is actually Hairy Maclary.

Hey! Have you read "Wide Sargasso Sea"? If you haven't, you definitely should. It's the (fictional) history of "Bertha" - the madwoman in the attic, and it's brilliant. You've probably already had the recommendation on here after mentioning JA (if you haven't read it already), but I always feel the need to give it a…

My Mum always says Les Mis, because she knows it's not pronounced miserables but she can't "do" the French version. :P She saw it when she was young(er) and she loves it though, so I'm sure that's the main point at the end of they day. If it's any consolation, she can't pronounce "millennium" either.

I'm sure it's been said downthread, but "résumé" is French, and if they didn't call it that it would probably be a "curriculum vitae" - which is Latin and therefore much posher than you lot anyway. :P Go and boil your bottoms, sons of a silly person!

Some people just don't realise what people can get up to online, or how vulnerable they can make themselves. I knew someone who didn't think they needed antivirus protection on their PC because they didn't tell anyone that they had a computer. It wouldn't surprise me if they didn't see the problem in giving an online…

I haven't played Hitman. What was the joke?

Looks like a grumpy and disheveled Dave Gorman to me.

This is being touted as a six episode one-off. I'm not sure that it can get cancelled any earlier than that. :) Tuck in!

Just in case you're interested (and spoilers everyone!), the 2nd episode has just aired and it seems that there's biological weaponry/terrorism in there somewhere. Maybe it was gifted to them by the Devil, but at this point it's looking like evil scientists - although I suppose it's too early to tell really. Also, I…

My niece is potty training, and now when she comes out of a toilet she always says triumphantly "I did a wee/poo!" Fine when we're at home, embarrassing when she's telling randoms at a restaurant. I'm guessing the people who post this type of crap on FB are the ones whose parents didn't shush them enough when they did…

If it makes you feel better, I live in a place where the Daily Mail and all its' drivel is taken seriously. :(

I thought the same thing too! Still insensitive in it's own way, but got a chuckle out of me for being such an weird way of looking at it... until I realised what the story was actually about. Then the horror kicked in.

I've thought this recently too - especially when reading coverage of the Django dolls, where I've seen articles on here and Gawker say something along the lines of "of course they're for kids - what adult buys dolls and action figures?!"

I love that Swan's favourite food is Pez. :D This could be a lot of fun.

"But by the time I equipped the lavender I'd be dead on the ground, so." At least she tried the soothing route (even if she did find the ass-kicking more enjoyable in the end :P).

I just think it's nice to see people who I wouldn't expect to like video games enjoying them. :) Same with that boxer who was featured on here for getting all excited about playing Skyrim. Plus I like reading how other people react to things that I enjoy. I suppose it might seem inane, but at least it goes some way to…

"I keep collecting lavender. I thought, 'Well, lavender has a very calming effect, maybe I can use the lavender on somebody.'"
