As Kemperboyd says - I bet they didn't remove all the 'fresh produce' (I.E. Fruit & Veg) that was 'Country of Origin: Israel', any food item containing produce of Israel (including pre-packed meals made with aforementioned Israel-sourced produce), stock items manufactured by companies based in Israel (assuming there…

This is crazy - my sister and I would regularly ride our bikes to the local park when we were 7 and 8 and spend hours riding about. The world has gone mad!

A valid point - I was unaware of the War of Austrian Secession, although arguably, given the tense relations between the Scots and the English it would have made travelling to Scotland long and risky when she probably could have sailed from London or Norfolk or even somewhere like Newcastle or Blackpool to elsewhere…

I, too, am on the verge of breaking out the Loreena McKennitt - the theme song is great. Sadly the behaviour of the English is far too realistic. Although as with all occupying forces, some are worse than others.

Indeed. Last time I was in an accident (She rear ended me) I just spent the whole time hyperventilating and panic attacking like a little bitch.

Shouldn't we? On the one hand you have the argument that it serves as a potent reminder of the atrocities, but plenty of other atrocities don't have the same 'stigmatised' symbol and that doesn't lessen their impact or the way we as a society view them. Reclaiming the Swastika and returning it to its original purpose…

Yes, although I believe the Nazi's actually flipped it so it was of the opposite orientation. So when working out whether something is offensive or not you have to take the orientation into consideration. It is a relief carved into a lot of east Asian cultural artifacts and it is shameful that the rotated/flipped…

As a menstruating woman who spends more than she'd like to on feminine hygiene products, I still have to say: Get the fuck down off your soap boxes ladies.

I see your Lax border and raise you: Andorra.

Ack I get this too. It's horrible and terrifies me. Not being able to breathe is the worst. No, you don't get used to it. Every single time you're convinced you're going to suffocate.

LOL Srsly, the last time I tried to push my cat off anything (the dining table, kitchen counter, my pillows) he sunk his claws in and weathered all attempts to dislodge him in a manner more befitting Granite.

Or apparently tasteful decor

As an atheist I would be sceptical except I, too, have experience with the unexplained and inexplicable. The house I grew up in was built on a housing development near a Tumulus (Ancient Burial ground in the UK) and my mother reports instances of baby me laughing, giggling and having conversations with 'something' she…

I have to respectfully disagree. Mostly with the stains and categories.

I was at Uni with a guy who was a thick as two short planks. What he was doing on this particular course I have no idea, but he had an assortment of tattoos and one day he rocked up with his latest tat: He had the words 'Less we forget' tattooed on his wrist. What a total tool. In the spirit of giving him the benefit…

I'm not really into the skinny pale types and found the photos from Equus too embarrassing to look at but actually I LOVE the grizzled stubble look in this and actually thought 'Mmm Hmm Hello' when I saw this trailer. Dan Radcliffe is still really young and I expect he'll grow into his 'look' in the Russell Crowe sort…

I'm pretty sure that's the point (heh heh geddit).

No they did say they wouldn't, so it might be that he died before PP got finished with some of the scenes so they had to work with some that might not have been perfect? Maybe? Or perhaps it was a deliberate look to highlight how uncomfortable Capitol citizens are in the spare environment of D13

Same here! My cat is a sneaky Ninja who regularly gets into the fridge, freezer and washer/dryer.

If you look on the right hand side it is clear that the door is open (the back square with the rivets above and below it are where the door would lock into). This may be a washing machine or a dryer (in the UK most are front-loading). It looks to me as though the cat is using the machine like an exercise wheel. It is…
