I just did a search for those and found a site called ukgoods.com , and I may just have to order some. I don't think anything I've seen on that site is sold over here, (remember, we don't get chocolate hobnobs or anything like that).

I noticed Walker's had some pretty bizarre varieties of crisps, especially compared to over here: Pickled Onion (Monster Munch), Prawn Cocktail, Roast Chicken, Smoky Bacon, Steak & Onion, and Worcester Sauce.

Thanks for posting the link Nanner. As you can see it was last January, not that long ago really. The first couple of pages are really fun to read, but after that it just meanders on about nothing. Considering Hotrod's comment was as pointless as it was, it is really funny what that thing evolved into. I wonder what other communities the orcs have attacked in the past. I like how they kept going on about "all the extra revenue" they were going to get because we mentioned their name. How much revenue would they get due to the few people that were following that thread, I'd be surprised if they got 50 cents out of it. Those guys were a lot of fun. It was even funnier going to their board and reading their postings on the situation, they were seriously making a huge fuss about it and treating it like a major crisis. On our side it was just someone making a passing comment that nobody really even cared about. Seems they have scouts scouring the web for any dishonorable mention of their name.

They seriously ought to start a business where you can pay them to come and invade your forum for a week. It would be great forum revitalization, and as long as they sayed in a single thread and didn't interupt conversation elsewhere, it wouldn't bother anyone who didn't care to participate. Someday I shall build my own army of WoW orcs, and maybe even a squad of OT Ninjas, and whatever else I can come up with, and I will really market this pay-per-forum-invasion stuff... I bet it could really take off, maybe even the biggest thing to hit the interwebs since ebay...


Well, we do already have the Mangler Bros....

Gotta love that dry Brittish humor. If a movie were to be made about this incident I think John Cleese should be cast to voice TB. Just imagine the above line being read by John Cleese... pure poetry!



I think it'd be even better if he was played by Tom Baker. He's got the best voice in the world: Tom Baker interviewed by a guy who can do a perfect impersonation of him.

So I take it you don't have a multi-region DVD player yet? I only have two PAL DVD's so far. I recommend getting an Oppo player, preferrably the 980 or 981, whichever has HDMI out and the Faroujda chip. I only have the 971H but you get far more for your price compared to a cheapo multi-region player. Oh, and the PAL-to-NTSC conversion is excellent.
I've only used one online store so far for purchasing UK PAL DVD's which is SendIt.com. Be sure to put whichever DVD isn't currently in stock in your wishlist and the ones you do wanna buy immediately in your cart. There're also great prices on Amazon.co.uk and I'm sure you can find the Paul McGann TV movie there. I'm also looking at purchasing it.


Normally I would, but I'm currently a college student with no money, so.....

Also, do you have any idea how many old Doctor Who stories there are? 159. That's not counting the TV movie and the 3 (soon to be 4) new series. That's a lotta money! Plus, if I wanted to be a completist, I could also try and pick up the two movies made in the 60s starring Peter Cushing.

Maybe by the time I can afford it, they'll have released the stories in Blu-Ray packs, so I won't have to worry about the region thing quite as much.

I'm pretty much the same way regarding the TV movie: it felt a bit too much like Doctor Who meets The X-Files, but Paul McGann was a good enough Doctor to bring it up a few notches (he was plenty better than Colin Baker.....blech!). And I couldn't help but think that no matter how cheesy it was, I'd still choose it over Torchwood any day (or that Bad Wolf arc from the first new series for that matter).

Oh, and I have watched some of the animated shorts. Not bad.
