:shocked: This article is a couple of months old, but I've only just seen it recently and felt the need to ask you folks what you make of it. Have you heard of this psychological disorder before? Woman 'married' to Berlin Wall for 29 years - Telegraph This bit from Mrs Berlin Wall's website had...

Anyone else wish that someone would drop Spinal Tap's mini-Stonehenge on Madonna's head?

Has anyone seen the news? There's been an attack on Scotland's Glasgow Airport which is now evacuated and closed. There were gas cannisters/molotov cocktails in the car; 4 people have been arrested.

Was this news readers revolt against the farce that is "celebrity" justified? First off, I apologise if this has been posted before: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mn9SWEJQnm0 Finally! Some one is making a stand against these over indulged wasters! Or am I mistaken, and this newsreader is...

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/6252276.stm News coming in on this right now... police got to the 'device' in time thank God. It was, unsurprisingly, found in one of the busiest part of Central London. Piccadilly Circus has been shut down and various areas are shut off, including Leicester...

The first paragraph is VERY tame in comparison to what follows, so please bear with me. Read this bit and then look at the picture link and you'll see what I mean... Now, be brave. Go look: http://www.ethelgranger.com/index.html Then, 'Will' ordered corsets for her while she was pregnant:

How did people mishear this so badly? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nFEhhcp3gfQ This song. The chorus goes "I'm blue, da ba dee da da dee da ba dee da da". Many people I know misheard it as "I'm blur, if I was green I'd die, if I was green I would die". I just pointed out to them that the...

This has to be seen to be believed. Could Exile be the most freakish looking band in the entire history of music - including Slipknot? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NJJQpSzDgC0 I think this is a great song, but the video??! Christ on a bike, it is enough to give you nightmares. :eek: The...

This is a long one I'm afraid, and what's worse, I am on my soapbox. Disclaimer / arsesaver: This is not aimed at any specific person, and I'm not just talking about here, but in most internet forums I've seen. I just want to find out what anti-newbie nonsense is about, because I cannot...

Is it fair to give a kid a ridiculous name? If not - or if so, for that matter- how do you define 'ridiculous'? My friend wants to call his daughter Tinkerbell. He doesn't want to call her Tinkerbell as a nickname. He wants it to be her actual first name, officially. Poor little thing. Her...

Bono criticising the church Firstly, apologies if this has been posted earlier: I did search the forum, but couldn't find any mention of it. I found this story online about 5 mins ago. I won't post the whole thing, just the jist of it and the link: I'm assuming this refers to B's 2nd Feb...

Hi old forumpals! :wave: It's been a while! Okay. I know. I shouldn't get wound up by fools trying to stir trouble... but this thread, at another forum I occasionally post in, made me feel rather sick. it reminded me why I haven't posted there for a long time...

[This is an old gem... I did search the forum to see if there had been any mention of it earlier, but had no luck.] I saw 'More' again today, having watched it for the first time back in 1999. It was arty animation about an old inventor, which won a ton of awards. I recall some people not...

"Rudeness in today's church can afflict the highest, such as the bishop who told a curate looking for a parish: "You have to ask yourself who would want you at your age?", to a vicar's wife. Who said to a woman who had just lost her new-born child: "Maddening, isn't it?" " Well. :madspit: Anyone?

Have a look at this: I'm not too sure about all this hoohah. The guy who made this joke could have been more tasteful, obviously. To cut a long story short, I think he was making fun of residents of Boise and Boston who are too dense to pronounce Kiwanuka's name properly. It doesn't seem (to...

Back in 1992, the UK government recognised that higher education needed to be made more accessible (as it still does today). The supposed solution was to turn the polytechnics into new universities. Before I go any further, I'd like to say that in my opinion, everyone should have the...

I present... Johnny Rotten and Psycho the Kitten. Can you tell them apart?

Having escaped intact from the FYM wrestling match tonight, I thought it was time for some cheerful, pointless nonsense. So. Airline related acronyms, past and present. What do they really stand for? (I may have done this before, but never mind.) Let's have a look... DHL Damaged, Hidden or...

4 miles down the road from where I currently live... SIXTY MILLION GALLONS of fuel, merrily burning away. Smoke several thousand feet high. This morning, we were told that the fires would go on for about 3 days - and that was just an estimate. The noise of the explosion woke all 5 members of...

This is several years old, but as I haven't seen it before, I assume there must be others here who didn't know about it either. It's not U2 related, but this clip had me in stitches. Johnny Rotten appearing on Judge Judy?! I nearly fell off my chair laughing! Good to see that thje spirit of...

I thought I'd ask you all for your weird coincidence stories. I know everybody's got tons of these, and I find them quite interesting. I'm discounting all the family/friend coincidences I have had because they are far too common and numerous to mention. You might find this one kinda nuts, but...

Okay, I appreciate that this isn't the best taste to say the least, but after hearing the news, I couldn't HELP thinking of the ex-parrot... I know, I'm a bad, evil person. I thought I'd mention it here so that you can all throw rocks at me. PS: 'It is very difficult for the H5N1 virus to...

Okay, you lot... please help me out here. This is the most bizarre thing I have read since that imcomprehensible webpage about the Lesbian Mafia ruling the world. I just wondered if anyone else has seen this before? Is it nothing more than a very weird parody? I think it must be, written by...

I wondered if anyone here has seen this? It's title varies according to diffrent reports: The Wave, or The Third Wave. Anyway, it's a film, made in 1981, based on actual events of 1972. Scary. http://www.geocities.com/Broadway/3145/wave.html This gives tons of info about the film, and the...

Some 'people' (and believe me, I use the term loosely here) are sickening beyond belief. Look at these morons. Disgusting doesn't begin to describe it. Apologies if these have already been posted, if so, I assume the the threads will be merged...
