Hi all! We have been experiencing an issue on site where threads have been missing the latest postings. The platform host Vanilla are working on this issue. A workaround that has been used by some is to navigate back from 1 to 10+ pages to re-sync the thread and this will then show the latest posts. Thanks, Mike.

Banksy - fair comment or kinda ironic, considering

People are taking the piss out of you everyday. They butt into your life, take a cheap shot at you and then disappear. They leer at you from tall buildings and make you feel small. They make flippant comments from buses that imply you’re not sexy enough and that all the fun is happening somewhere else. They are on TV…

No I don't. And where are you pulling this bullsh1t hypothesis from?

A week ago, I realised there was no scissors in the house so I bought some scissors. No brand, no advertising campaign, no consulting with friends.I just bought scissors.

Prior to that, I bought a garlic-crusher to eradicate the odour that chopping garlic with a knife leaves on your hands. The label in the hardwore store said 'Garlic Crusher' and had no brand. I didn't consult with anyone prior to purchasing either. I just bought a garlic-crusher.

I also recently bought some Asics trainers. Not because of how they look or how they're marketed but because of their functionality and how they feel on my feet. Is that just a figment of my imagination because my nerve-endings are subject to advertising too?

And where did you go to buy them? Would it have been a large retailer that advertises its wares?

I really just don't understand how you can be so arrogant (or naive) to think you are not influenced by advertising. You again dodged my question relating to the Cinema btw.
