  1. I read on the back of a packet of Cadbury's chocolate the other day that "The colour purple is a trademark of the Cadbury company" or words to that effect.

     

    A real head scratcher that was.

     

    I guess it applies to selling chocolate! Similarly the Porsche 911 was originally sold as the 901 but was forced to change as Peugeot had a trademark on all 3 digit numbers where the middle digit was 0.

  2. I'd almost forgotten what life before the internet was like. Many a happy teenage minute was spent with a couple of well thumbed pages from The Fog and the latest Grattan catalogue.

  3. Royal Army scholars seem to hold a contrary view to yours

    Dachau liberation photos

    Click

    So much for your "accuracy", eh?

    Dachau was a concentration camp.. not a death camp. It has long since been acknowledged that there were no 'death camps' (places deliberately established for the extermination of enemies of the Nazi state) on German soil. The six remaining places recognised as death camps; Auschwitz-Birkenau, Treblinka, Sobibor, Belzec, Majdanek and Chełmno, are all in modern day Poland and were all liberated by the Red Army.

    But look I'm not here to get all 'holocaust denier' on everyone or dent any American egos..I'm as distressed by the photos as anyone else.

  4. Whilst the death of any man is a tragedy for his close family we shouldn't mourn this guy as if he was some kind of hero. Rodney King can be labled many things (violent thief, drunk driver, drug abuser) but he shouldn't be held up as some kind of martyr for the progression of black rights in the US. Yes he got an excessive beating that was unjust but that doesn't make him a good guy.

  5. the problem with the above post is that we didnt really sign "better players" for the most part

    Agreed! I can't think of one player on the books either now or during MON's reign that we had to pay a premium for in order to prise him from the grasp of a London club.

  6. DARPA Silent Talk - A planned program attempting to identify EEG patterns for words and transmit these for covert communications.

    So if a government developed the ability to effectively read peoples thoughts they would only use it for covert communications? If they ever get this off the ground it could have a massive impact on human civilisation! Great stuff though :D

  7. Personally I find his pseudo-intellectualism tedious. If he was playing a gig in my garden shed, I don't think I'd even bother to open the kitchen window to hear him.

  8. Oh I just remembered one more Christmas tradition - on Boxing day when we visit my aunt, over dinner she usually asks if theres a lady in my life. Answer is usually no, so she then will quickly ask '...and you're not one of those. It's perfectly alright these days'.

    So stop avoiding the question! Are you?! Are you one of those? :winkold: :lol:

  9. I think
    pretty much sums up my feelings on all the recent race rows.

    I think you must be confused.

    I agree with the comedian. But there is a HUGE line to be drawn between being "offended" and being abused. Perhaps you need to learn the difference before you leave the house again.

    I think I am confused,

    Is your contention that all abuse should be should be eradicated from the game:

    "You're s**t and you know you are"

    "What a w**ker, what a w**ker"

    "Karen Brady is a f**king slag"

    "Sad bluenosed b**tard"

    or should we concentrate on the most offensive type of abuse? Maybe if you draw that HUGE line for me and I can leave the house because I desperately need some milk.

  10. I worked as an extra on a short lived BBC series called Mortimer's Law back in the late nineties. My overriding memory of which was spending the day filling my face in the catering truck.

    One of my big regrets in life was never applying to go on Knightmare because none of my mates would agree to be the one who had to wear the helmet :lol:

  11. I'm also fairly sure they used to change clothes in Rentaghost

    :lol:

    **** me, there's a blast from the past I'd long forgotten about!

    I used to fancy the pants off Miss Popov and yet I often wonder why I can't feel the same way about Audrey Roberts?
