    What gives with the IMDB of the movie discussed above!



    I think it's to do with the fact that the movie was released 11 years ago, hence the pokemon creature, Slowpoke, so it was more just a comment on how old the initial picture was. At least I think that's who the pokemon is anyway. I know that there is a Slowpoke but have no idea what it looks like.


    TBH, I'm almost embarrassed for knowing even that much (as little as it is) about pokemon!

    Alzheimer's joke

    There was an excellent film a few years ago in which John Simm played the part of the son of a man who suffered from Alzheimer's. His father got out of the house in the middle of winter wearing very little, and while John Simm was trying to coax him back inside, they came across a bunch of youths who started taking the piss out of the old man. So he said to them: 'Oh yes, very funny. Alzheimer's is a joke. Wait till you get it!'. Best line (and delivery) ever.

    Don't worry about it. I've seen that photo before, and also another one beside it taken from a slightly different angle.

    It's actually nowhere near as steep as that photo makes it look.

    (The north of Italy is also well lit up as are certain areas of England, but those are densely populated areas. All of Belgium is lit up, and it has significantlly less population density.)

    That area would be Netherlands/Belgium and they are the most densely populated countries in Europe actually.

    I've been and it's nothing like that in terms of steepness.

    That post reminded me of a time in my old job when someone rang asking us could we fax them a blank page 'cause they had ran out of paper.... :pac:

    We told them we would, but we also suggested they photocopied it to make sure they wouldn't run out again... We were a funny crowd... :D

    Is he forgetting to open the tag or duplicating the closing tag? I'm starting to think he's a bot. It's every single post. It's also been drawn to attention a few times and he still hasn't replied

    I'd imagine that he's cutting and pasting the images from one of those hosting sites that generate the vB code for you, and also include a URL, for example

    [noparse]picXYZ.jpg[/noparse]

    ...he's remembering to trim the url from the beginning, but missing the closing /url at the end....

    As mentioned earlier, I actually live here in the Netherlands and our motorways are not lit up like that. There's a noticable difference when you cross the border at night. If you'd carefully read my post I also linked to an article referencing the extremely wasteful and unnecessary amount of motorway lighting in Belgium (NOT the Netherlands) and I could add hundreds more if necessary.

    I remember seeing before (probably on reddit) that there is a limit to the free postage on those things. If it's over a certain weight then it just gets discarded. This would just get thrown in the skip. Better to shove a page with the words "Fúck off" in it.
