    I reported a big pothole near my house on the CTC "report a pothole" website, I was amazed to see it actually got repaired in under a week! Now where's Miss P, so i can regale her with that fabulous anecdote...

    Edit: Upon reflection, her feet are kinda long though. What are they a 6, 7? Much prefer a size 3 to 5 tops...

    Boy oh boy, I've seen some airbrushing in my time but that one takes the biscuit...


    ...Not Pendleton, Murphy

    I'm sure he wouldn't be considered funny if he wasn't allowed to swear either. #OneTrickPony #OhGodISoundLikeMyDad

    Yeah, but that was a kids film with a script that Murphy didn't write.

    I don't understand the Eddie Murphy hate, in his time the guy was amazing. Life and Bowfinger are other great examples of his comedy genius.

    Yes he swears at times. But dismissing swearing is like writing off 85% of black comedians as not funny. Chris Rock, Kat Williams and heck, even the late greats like Richard Prior and Bernie Mac (RIP both of them).

    Anyway back to Vicky, like that Ennis athlete woman. I'd still snap that in two.

    Is that before or after they wear you out and leave you in a sweaty heap, gasping for oxygen?

    I think the problem with Eddie Murphy is that for every "Trading Places" and "Beverly Hills Cop", there was a "Vampire in Brooklyn" and "Nutty Professor 2" waiting in the wings.

    That said, I like him.

    Yeah, what a way to go.

    Anyone remember Private Benjiman? Goldie Hawn joined the army after her husband died on their honeymoon whilst consumating the marriage. Pretty cool for him, not so good for her.
