Someone's had a wander around Google, did you pick up any shopping whilst you were there?

I have a Mum and three sisters, I've sat through the video boxset enough times as a teen. Plus I recall watching her in Camomile Lawn, or whatever it was called.

Fair enough, I do love zombies. (I didn't read the comic either though.)

Sick

Mary that batters way to stiff, I can hardly get my spoon in.

it's a protofeminist classic.

Put up with and then marry the world's biggest dickbag because he's rich, is a protofeminist classic? Woo. Go feminoids.

Yeah, I guess a lot of the time the apocalypse is more or less just the backdrop to the drama, I know I'd like it a lot less without the zombie-smashing though.

It's great to have a constant creeping threat in the background. But a nice bit of zombie culling is bloody good fun.

It was written hundreds of years ago, where the greatest antiracism book was Uncle Tom's Cabin.

Where the message was send them all back where they came from.

The way she was made up in Pride and Prejudice made her instantly plain and forgettable.

I.... don't agree.

Please, go on, how did this make you feel? Do you harbour any resentment or rage? What does this picture remind you of - a beautiful butterfly or a vagina with fangs trying to bite your knob off?

I'm going to recommend further counselling sessions and a prescription of Xanax. You are such an interesting case, I might even publish a paper about you, with your permission of course.

Nurse, cancel my 3 O'clock. ;)

I was a child of the 80s, where we had nuclear war. And we'd all gather together to hunt rats or fight off Tina Turner and her legions of punk rockers.

Zombies it's all about being better than everyone else and hanging out with your own little gang.

Jennifer Ehle is not ugly, but the way she was made up in Pride and Prejudice made her instantly plain and forgettable. That's how bad British productions are, they go out of their way to make the actresses deliberately unattractive.

Jennifer Ehle is beautiful. I think you are confusing 'plain' with 'natural looking'. Four inches of fake tan was not really the done thing in Georgian England.

Should I add a "had" too Stotts post to make it sound like he shagged a mum and 3 daughters then watched the grainy VHS copy?

I.... don't agree.

Yeah, this argument can basically be summarised as:

RC: "British productions deliberately make the main actors and actresses unrealistically unattractive"
Everyone else: "No they don't"

Even in soaps like East Enders, to me, I think the cast are generally still slightly more attractive than the average people you see walking around the street. While in USA, they're *way* off. The cast just don't remotely resemble the average person in the street. But if you prefer to see shows that focus on more attractive people, I guess there's nothing wrong with that.

Dexter had some fairly normal looking people.

His sister looked like Jarvis Cocker, in a sexy kind of way.

I've just spent the last minute trying to work out how you could possibly think she looks like Jarvis Cocker.
