I offered to employ my sister as my business advisor when I become a dragon
to stop me investing in ridiculous businesses that I think are funny.

Her first suggestion was to have a range of supermarkets where no children are allowed, her reasoning is that it makes the shopping experience slightly less hellish and would attract rich posh types. I love this idea, I think I will create a whole range of places without kids and top of the list will be a cinema.

What would you like to see? Nil points for breasts or my mum, or my mum's breasts.

Children under 10 should not be allowed to mix with the general public, the little shits.

I've had an idea where supermarkets, for an hour a day, everything is 10% more expensive.
Hopefully it'll weed out the chavs, grannies and family types.

I was in ASDA a few days ago for two hours, as I walked in, there was sick on the floor, it was still there when I left. Then my flatmates went when I got back, and it was still there.

general damages and special damages
basically there is a formula for each body part, which gets updated yearly. it is horrifyingly low, an eye is the most valuable at about £60k per eye.

then you get additional damages on top for loss of earnings, pain and suffering etc etc.

I used to work at Asda on the customer services when I was a teen
If we needed cash for the weekend we would get someone (a mate) to come in spill bleach on their clothes saying the bottle lid was off and how dangerous it was and give them money for their clothing. Only did it three times in a year and worked everytime.

would the cinema still show kids' films though?
admittedly i wouldn't want to watch most of them, but come on, you couldn't deprive people of "shrek".

Everyone should see The Iron Giant
and most things by Ghibli.

was utter balls. I liked the book as a small boy.

Never read the book so can't compare
but you are wrong about the film.

the film was great if you didn't think of it being connected in any way to the book.

I thought the film was good too.

Was the book called The Iron Giant, or was it the Iron Man?

need to be sure I'm thinking of the right thing.

Now you say that it may have been the Iron Man
I'll amazon it.

Yeah it was the Iron Man, film is based on the book though.

I've seen all the recent Disney Pixar ones in the cinema so I would definitely show those too. Animated films contain so many adult jokes now that they're obviously not just aimed at kids.
