    Yeup. I don't know if he can take the flume to work in the morning as well. Water doesn't flow uphill very well.

    It's a great ad.

    I think I'd still miss the bike though!

    Ans, can you give us dumb anglos a phonetic version of your username so we can pronounce it correctly in our heads?

    Sure. It's along the lines of:

    Anne-Sparro'-Dee-Gay'd-Vran

    It's based upon the mythical character of Bendigeidfran (Ben-dee-Gay'd-vran), literally 'blessed crow'. Ansbaradigeidfran, however, translates loosely as 'uncouth crow'
    Plus if spambots can't spell it then maybe they can't spam me :P

    Hmm I remember sending an email to Big Brother 4 years back asking for either a sniper or zombies. Well they've kind of introduced one, still waiting on the other. :wink:

    Things you want to hear in Big Brother #10

    "Big Brother has released a Velociraptor into the house.

    Most of the housemates are hiding in the kitchen cupboards. Ziggy is in the living room, the bedroom, the pool and the garden."

    Nope, generally they just watch from home.

    I just think we should do gladiatorial combat for the first weeks challenge, hide a few axes, swords, maces etc around the house and do a fight to the death. Last person standing wins and we can then run something more interesting for that hour each evening. I'd suggest televised paint drying :-D

    Back OT, I have seen that ad and did think it was very cool!
