Nice mars landing
...but what's particularly British about it?
( mediocre *canned laughter*, Thu 29 Jun 2006, 17:31, archived)

it's only British
because it was an excuse for me to repost an old gif.
and erm, because Mars bars are from Britain too.
and so is space.
tenuous at best.
have a smiley to make up for it :)
better?
edit: it's because it's the wrong mars, and Britain is rubbish at being in space, which I think you'll find to be the overwhelming theme of the compo entries, none as subtly done as mine, therefore I claim my winners arran jersey and ketchup.

Erm
Isn't Mars American?

Edit: likely true for both senses of 'Mars' before long...

he he he
I wonder if that advertising campaign made the slightest difference?

btw .. what sort of a world do we live in where _everyone_ knows what a mars bar is ... yet most people are unaware of the great artists, poets and scientists of our time?

Yeah
we should send them all to a different planet, then make them insite a revolution, and make it look like us getting rid of them was all their idea!

for 42p.
