Alistair is correct. It is neither the clock nor the tower, IT IS THE BELL THAT IS BIG BEN.

This is a great example of why copyright is ridiculous.

"Internet memes make great Halloween costumes".

Yes, I can't wait to see people come to my door dressed as Tubgirl.

God is about as real as the fairies dancing on your head right now.

Religion is a mental illness.

Given the nosebleed I have right now, I have enough blood to run that thing for a year.

Envirotwats.

At least this will shut the idiot birthers up. He was clearly created in a lab.

Seriously, the man has found a smile that works and has it down to perfection. I fail to see what the surprise is here.

Can't help but get hungry when you see the legs. They look like joints of beef.

All the experts say the masks are useless.

I know two people who have had H1N1. Both recovered just fine. It's all hype designed to sell vaccines. A vaccine that was conveniently patented before the Mexico outbreak.

Make of that what you will.

I like Felix's use. Maybe wear a long cowl and carry a scythe too.

Skip: All these figures that get thrown around are nonsense. There's the study that said "Gamers aren't actually adolescents" and only interview people 19 and over. Then there was the study recently with the latest scaremongering about obesity and alzheimers, which studied less people than turn up to the average wedding.

It's all bollocks. Used to route through the bins at the back of the supermarkets where I used to live. Mainly to get rotten vegetables to throw at the ne'er do wells who hung around the other side:) Don't ever recall seeing ANYTHING fresh in that.

Not really "reclaiming". Not like nature built the house and someone nicked it from them.

Or an alternative name: "Humorless, Boring Bastard Day".

A friend of mine once bought a video tape about fishing for that fish. It had the awesome title of "Getting Wet for Crappie".

Oh yes, and once the show finished, if you left the tape running, there was 8 minutes of hardcore porn at the end of it too.

Not bad for a quid.

Babies are not supposed to be in car seats unless actually traveling as it restricts their breathing, and babies have actually died from suffocation in car seats while being left to sleep.

Not that anyone will listen to a word I've just written.

Epic!

I agree with a lot of this. As a writer it pains me to see the language being mangled. However, to not use the "5 items or less" lane seems like cutting your nose to spite your face.
