leviramsey Posted November 19, 2008 VT Supporter Share Posted November 19, 2008 Can't advertise alcohol in France at all. Hence why Liverpool play in France in the Champs League, they have to wear plain shirts. That's such a stupid rule. As if someone's going to be affected by an ad so seriously, that it becomes a threat to public safety. Budweiser - 'Oh horses. I like horses. That stuff looks delicious. Maybe I'll try one of those'. And they end up like Digby Chicken Caesar I doubt it's to protect French people, but probably to protect established producers from competition. If you can't advertise, it's going to be difficult to promote your Aussie/American/Chilean wine or whatnot. It might not even be worth going to the trouble of exporting it to France. Heavily restricting the advertising of tobacco in the US has done nothing but help the few big brands that everyone knows and prevent new manufacturers and brands from entering the market.

Artetasgirl Posted November 19, 2008 Visiting Supporter Share Posted November 19, 2008 Apparently, Wine is not allowed to be advertised in France ( of all places!) I heard it on the radio today and thought of this thread surely it's a wind up? It's alcohol in general.Same in Norway, we had to have plain shirts when we played Brann.

Stevo985 Posted November 19, 2008 VT Supporter Share Posted November 19, 2008 If you are about to sneeze, pressing a single finger firmly against your filtrum will stop you from doing so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BOF Posted November 19, 2008 Moderator Share Posted November 19, 2008 No, that's your sceptum. The philtrum is the vertical depression in your skin above your upper lip. And I don't believe Stevo's fact works at all !! But I'll try it next time to make sure. I'm a pretty heavy sneezer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheSufferingVilla Posted November 19, 2008 Share Posted November 19, 2008 By one estimate, around 106 billion humans have lived on earth It is estimated that Malaria has killed one out of every two humans who have ever lived, by your total that would be an astonishing 53 billion people.

Won't work if you do it a split second before you sneeze like, but if you're in that "Ah.....Ahhhh....Ahhhhhhhhh" stage it'll work before the "choooo" (that's probably the weirdest sentence I've ever written.) Alternatively, if you need to sneeze but can't, looking directly into a light will normally trigger the sneeze. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

El Zen Posted November 19, 2008 Share Posted November 19, 2008 Alternatively, if you need to sneeze but can't, looking directly into a light will normally trigger the sneeze. Oldest trick in the book Makes you look slightly, let's say intellectually challanged, as you walk around in public staring into lights though. But it's totally worth it. I love sneezing.
