That's ok. As long as it's true that time actually did stand still when teams were halfway through "Knightmare" at an end of an episode, I'll be fine. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pow. I actually do. At the time I was slightly disappointed that they didn't take it a bit more seriously. But having seen all the subsequent 'dark' comic book stuff, I think it's all bollocks. Give me Zap! Blat! Ker-pow! every time. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xela Posted February 3, 2016 Share Posted February 3, 2016 Why do magazines/newspapers feel its ok to label women as 'painfully thin', but wouldn't dare call anyone 'painfully fat'? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Way back then my mum had a friend of a friend who went on the show and won everything including the top prize for potting the black in the last game (was a big fancy holiday). She said that they didn't actually get all the prizes, they just give out a cheque to the value of all the prizes, not the actual prizes... not sure if Bullseye would be the same. Yeah it's always been like that on TV game shows since I were a kid and maybe earlier dont know about UK game shows but in the US you get taxed on your winnings as well !!

troon_villan Posted February 4, 2016 Share Posted February 4, 2016 Why do magazines/newspapers feel its ok to label women as 'painfully thin', but wouldn't dare call anyone 'painfully fat'? On this subject, is it easier for a thin person to become fat or a fat person to become thin? One would assume the former? Depends on the particular person maybe.

I see the point you're making, but I'm not sure this is actually the case. Skim through any number of publications, and you'll see comments about any number of 'celebrities', and their weight issues (fat and thin).

sharkyvilla Posted February 7, 2016 Share Posted February 7, 2016 Why does it take so long for humans to reach maturity? I know babies' heads have to be a bit squishy to get through the birth canal, but even so I don't know why evolution has made it so that humans take so long before they can do anything for themselves.

villa4europe Posted February 11, 2016 Share Posted February 11, 2016 Aren't they trying to change the law now so that a straight couple can split maternity / paternity however they like between them The answer is the one who earns the least takes the leave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is currently the start of a debate about removing male / female as an identifier from passports. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
