So, pitch me your film(s)/book(s) ! I'll do mine first to get the ball rolling, I'm sure I've mentioned this a few times, but here we go.
Edward Nortan, who is the son of the inventor of the time machine. Edward isn't a bad person, but he uses the machine to try and find the cure for something horrific that his mum went through, like, cancer or something. As Edward goes through history, finding ingredients that aren't in his Natural Time Zone, he saves his mum, and then realises he can use his machine to save other people. He could stop the 9/11 attacks, he could get villages to abandon themselves before a volcano goes off... Every time he changes the timeline, the future changes. Saving Pompay means the Romans never stop their movements (for example). But then, some people from Edward Nortan's future catches on, the saving of his mum didn't have enough changes in The Natural Timeline for them to bother, but the other stuff he does, does. Changing 9/11 means there is no war in the middle east, for example. Time Travellers have some sort of timeline protection, where as if you tried to kill their mum before they gave birth, they would have been born to someone else with the exact same attributes... and they can remember before-changes too. These police try and stop him, but if the world is so much better, would it really be a good idea?
.... i've not thought out the details, origionally it was about Jacky Chan and Will Smith chasing after time-traveling criminals, but this idea is better.

FYI I have do actually believe Underage sex is wrong (unless it's someone in your own year and you're over 15), but tbh I was saying that it happens so often because it isn't stopped by many people.
The original comments were "I was the only B3tan who could get away with chasing schoolgirls" (meaning people up to 3 years younger than me, I supposed)
I was not saying I would or should, but It is likely someone of my age could.
(Btw I haven't had sex yet, In-fact i haven't even stepped up to the base, let alone hit a home run)

Does anyone know anything to do around Brighton next week, i'll be there mon-thurs. I've been looking at resturants and there are a few I want to try. Maybe catch a drag-act if any is going. I'm so looking forward to it now, I know I bitch'n'moaned before, as it wasn't what I was thinking off, but it'll still be good fun. Yay for chill-out-pills too ! Mememmeme, this thread is all about me. I'm so pleased that my job is cool with me being a broken person mostly. My next project at work is a fun one too, get to play around with all the social networks I want, just to go wild and let my creativeness see what I come up with (which is a total joy for me)
Tell me something nice, something good, and something naughty.

my favourite subtitle ever comes from the Jamaican reggae film Rockers. One fellow says hello to another ('what gwan, raas claat?') and the subtitle reads 'what's happening, bum cloth?'.

Now I don't know much about the ELO, but I'm sure Monty does. Accordingly, I have created the below template as a short cut.
"The Electric Light Orchestra were fucking shit. _____ was a decent album/song (delete as applicable) but after 19__ they were total cack. And _____ _______ is a fucking wanker of the highest order."
I think this is more or less flawless, as Monty doesn't like any music made in a year starting with a 2, and although Bono only has the one name it'd be beneath him to point out that he's a cunt.
