Crouching Tiger, Stumbling Fool


No doubt many of you film boffins will have seen this already, but it has
only just come to our attention. Oh, how we laughed!


All we can say is - better luck next time, dude.

Enjoy!

Rude Signs Revisited!


Many apologies to The World Of Poot for not posting anything for a fair while! I've been very busy with important social and alcohol based meetings. All for the cause I say!

In the meantime, before I do any serious poot-posting, here's yet another rude sign I saw on my travels...

This is more local, at Reculver Towers. It's engraved upon a stone tablet for eternity. Babbington has himself appreciated the ruined splendour of this beacon of the Kent coast, not to mention the groins.....




Groins..lol

Just don't push your luck by asking for a Flake in your '99'!

So I looked a little closer:


And would you believe it - a case of crabs!



OK, so not technically a 'case'.
Now you're just being picky - work with me here!

The World's Most Worthless Money


I recently received this most gracious donation from our regular contributor and benefactor, Neville Cheestring:




Well, you can imagine my delight - it's not often I get a fake cheque where such effort has been made to make it look half convincing - hey, it's even made of rubber! So, er... yeah. Cheers, Nev. I've got my eye on you, sunshine - and not the glass one, neither.

Sad thing is, I was actually toying with the idea of trying to cash it in at my local bank - just to see the expression on their faces. Hmmm... there's still time... shall I...?!

Anyway, on the subject of worthless money (ah, seamless!), this bank note is actually genuine:


You can find out more about money that quite literally isn't worth the paper it's printed on here.
