No one would have believed in the last years of the nineteenth century
that this world was being watched keenly and closely by intelligences greater than man's.
No one gave a thought to the older worlds of space as sources of human danger. Yet
across the gulf of space, minds that are to our minds as ours are to those of the beasts
that perish, intellects vast and cool and unsympathetic, regarded this earth with envious
eyes, and slowly and surely drew their plans against us.
CATCH IT
BIN IT
KILL IT

Best voiceover ever. Fact.
Richard Burton's version of this (minus the catch it... bit) on the War of the Worlds album never fails to send shivers down my spine.

*throws down the grumpy arse stick in a bid to herd cats*
that's product placement, we did that challenge, this one is adverts like we have on tv, but in the magical world of the future.
Like billboards Vader would pass walking to work, products Picard would get on the viewscreen before an important video message and stuff like that.
*picks up grumpy herding stick and walks off*

if you don't like it, shut up whingeing and do something different based on your own interpretation of the brief.
It's Friday, almost the weekend. We'll have no moaning tomfoolery here today

what is? trying to point out what the image challenge clearly says?
if its tiresome don't read it, you didn't have to, you could have seen it said my name and thought "he's probably moaning" and not bothered.

you know as well as everyone else that challenges are interpreted differently by different people
You didn't like the way someone had interpreted it and felt the need to point it out. You didn't have to do that either.

right so other people are allowed to do what they like
but I can't simply type a few words.
Ok, glad we've got that cleared up.

I could use exactly the same sentence to cover my initial reply to you.
funny old world, eh?

except you told me to shut up
I didn't tell Michelle up there to stop what they're doing, just described what I saw, like in the popular tv show catchphrase.

yes, you felt the need to have a dig anyway, you didn't need to
you could have taken your own advice and just 'not bothered'.
Anyway, enough of this all, it's Friday, no time for cussing and fighting :)
Chin up, the weekend is almost upon us all

so is that an apology for telling me to shut up
when all I was doing was trying to encourage something new and exciting and not just a repeat of the last product placement challenge?
I thought by going with the jokey "grumpy stick and cats" start it might suggest that I wasn't just coming on here calling people cunts

nope, no apology here, I stand by what I said.
That's no personal dig at you Toasty, just the way that initial reply read to me, which did read a bit cunt-ish to me. (again, could be my interpretation only, but there's nowt 'encouraging' in it at all)

Next time I go to the shops I'll look for some, but I swear if Um Bongo and Tizer is better I will not be happy.

I bought some Lilt Zero
for the wife this very morning. I commented on the fun the designers had with the lable.
'Best consumed chilled out' it states and the keep britain tidy logo has been replaced with a lady lounging in a hammock droping her rubbish into a bin.

Ttss, I think we should defuse the situation with an interpretive dance routine.

Interpretive dance is my favourite because you don't actually have to be able to dance.
