10 optical illusions to 'break your head' (rough translation)
the article is in Spanish but the visual bits are easy enough to access (the linked videos are English). Full disclosure: one of the 10 illusions featured (#4) is the video I made which I used as my first link post here.
This is an excellent assemblage of several different types of illusions which combined just makes them all the more interesting for juxtaposed comparing & contrasting.

I don't think people would think the sticker has anything
to do with the poster, just vandalism.
The stickers are not actually defacing the posters to such an extent that they become unreadable. No one is not going to judge the show by the sticker, so there is no way Avalon could have possibly lost money as a result of this.
The fine from Edinburgh Council makes some sense, as they probably did spend something cleaning them up.
If anyone is taking money from the amateur productions, it is companies like Avalon for sending TV-known comedians with a decent marketing budget to compete with people going on their own backs.

Seems to harsh a fine

That said, as Kunt didn't personally put up the stickers, I don't see how he can have been fined for it, unless he is seen as some sort of Charles Manson figure getting other people to do his crimes for him.

I remember seeing this on here once before
and it's still extremely fucking annoying.
How does it matter in the slightest whether or not you know what percentage of the population is Muslim? If you're refused entry because you thought it was 3.7% when it was actually 4.2%, you'd have every right to go fucking ballistic, especially if someone else was granted entry due to ignorance and random clicking.
If the test was about our current culture or our values (eg: You accidentally spill someone's pint. What should you do? a] prostrate yourself in front of him and offer him your wife. b] apologise and buy him another. c] pre-emptively punch him in the neck and run.) I could see the point, but as it stands passing this test won't make you any fitter for life in the UK.
This is particularly worrying for me right now as I'm marrying my American fiance in a couple of months, and it would be nice if she didn't have to revise unimportant arbitrary things before she was allowed to stay here.

ooh, I used to like Littlehampton when I lived in Sussex.
And across at Climping. Although apparently that's a dogging hotspot, i subsequently discovered.

Yes
West beach and Climping car park can be a bit dodgy at night although the police do patrol it a lot more now.
It's still a nice place and has had some money spent on it (new cafe/ better car parking etc) plus it can have some decent surf now and again!

I went to LCS before it was bought by religious nutters.
The cafe looks like a giant dog egg.

LET THE LOOTING BEGIN!!!
Remember that big cargo ship that crashed off the coast of south Devon a few years back? People made off with all the BMW motorbikes... I wonder what happened to those?
My uncle took two giant crates of nappies for his kid and loaded them into his van. He's on kid number two now and he's roughly halfway through the 2nd crate.

hmmm
you've effectively just shopped your uncle on a public messageboard... he has, after all, committed an illegal act, no?

It isn't illegal as such.
You're allowed to recover goods that are washed up on the seashore as long as you inform the official receiver of wrecks that you've rescued goods.
The owner can then recover the goods but has to pay you a salvage fee for saving his goods.
There's a fair few houses near where I live that were built with wood that washed overboard from a cargo ship years ago. (There's also one house that has a lintel made from one of the stones from a prehistoric stone circle.)

I'm sure there's an easier way

legal looting all the way!
There was also the incident of a ship loosing all of its timber. It ended up covering a good 15 miles or so of coast line. img.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2008/01_03/timberPA2001_468x573.jpg

Ha! He's awesome. My granddad could mimic bird songs with his whistling. This now seems poor by comparison. This crowd are a bunch of cunts.
