Kitchen adverts
(Preview)
Can somebody with knowledge of the computer world explain to me how these kitchen adverts get in? Does a robot sign up for a fake profile and then spam us? Do they do this to other forums? I'm so intrigued

Who was the best Bond?
(Preview)
I had this discussion with a few friends at work the other day, and I have to say over the years, my view has changed. As a child I used to love Roger Moore, but as I have matured I have realized his films are comedy and have aged terribly. I now believe Dalton was the greatest bond.

Language Funnies

OK. So this post is triggered by a new advert on our Expat Radio Station that we have here called Spectrum FM. Decent music (some of the time) but clearly nobody speaks a word of Spanish, so when they try to pronounce Spanish words or names, it can be quite hilarious. There is a advert now being regularl...

It seems so strange to be crying tears of sadness because of her today; her tears are always joyously, helplessly, rapturously overflowing floods of happiness. A supern...
