Edit: just seen this. I'm frankly speechless... http://www.b3ta.com/board/7552727

that's insane! the scale of the intended project, i mean... such dedication!
I did these ages ago as part of an abitious project to mirror the entirity of IMDB, but with monkey connections to each film. A kind of Internet Monkey Database, if you will. Or more like what would happen if monkeys ruled Hollywood.

Anyway, a few years on...

i love that

Apparently someone's started selling coffee out of old (Dr Who style) police boxes in Glasgow. Under the name 'Coppuchino.'

Cool, cheers - never been in the Pembury, I hear they have good ales.

I will try and think of a bad pun to compensate for Hackney-centric derail.

they brew a lot of their own beer there. the house range is ok on the whole, but not amazing.
the porter, however, is great and the session bitter is really quite decent, too.
the guest beers are often very good and they also have some killer imported lagers, especially the hell lager which, contrary to what the name might suggest, is actually very light, tasty and not at all street-fighting mental.

as a pub it's a bit too bright, beard and sandalsy and lacks a bit in atmosphere, but there's also a very good pool table and it's on my way home from work, so i occasionally drop in there.

a while ago on the sun a scottish sports sub-editor got to run a headline he had been sitting on for about 20 years, when caledonian thistle beat celtic in a particularly crucial game (why it was so important escapes me because 1. it's football, 2. it happened in scotland)

anyway, headline = super cally go ballistic, celtic were atrocious

if they hadn't all bled into one over time i'd have thousands of pun stories, having spent the best part of a decade wasting my life in the tabloid press

lol.. i think it was just 'important' because caledonian thistle are nobodies and celtic are, yknow, not. the headline is far more important than the game though, natch.

that reminds me of something which isn't a pun, but is nonetheless very linguistically pleasing. the following scottish football result actually happened a few years ago; try saying it out loud in the voice of the guy that reads the results on the radio:

East Fife 4 - Forfar 5

i love puns, especially when they are simultaneously incredibly dumb and kind of clever, maybe that's what they always are. Actually my user name here is a particularly bad one in itself :eek:

Chinese takeaway in Brighton = Brighton Wok.

Brighton is full of bad shop punz - I'll have to go on a reconnoiter.

Everyone knows Grate Fires Of London?
