    You couldn't make it up...

    Hello Dissensus. Due to the death of the Funky/London House thread (and by association, Funky London House) and general, erm, goings-on, I have been away. I hope you are all well. I have invoked the tiresome cliche of the title because I have had the most ridiculous two days. I wanted to unload...

    The 100 Most Influential People in the World (Time Magazine, 2012)

    I'm not sure if they do this every year, but Time have published their '100 most influential people in the world' list. I counted, and I know who 21 of them are. The rest can't be that influential, then, can they? Or am I an uncultured oik? Or is it that, despite being 'in the world', the list...

    Your Ultimate Roast

    We don't have enough food threads, methinks, so let's pose a question. What is your ultimate Sunday roast? Discuss/embellish/rep your ends/&c. Some rules, though (Dogme-style). You may choose: 1x Main dish can be any variety of meat, or if you're vegetarian, 1x roast item (portabella...

    2999 members on Dissensus. Come on lurkers, why not sign up and be the threethousandth? (Which is a horrendously ugly word, albeit correct.) I think that's a fairly commendable landmark for any forum, even if perhaps only 300 of those are anything close to regular posters and a large chunk are...

    Coin-ops (games/fruit machines/pinball/etc)

    I know there's a gaming thread elsewhere, but reading the news that London's biggest games arcade has closed made me want to discuss amusement arcades in general, and the reasons for their near-death. Funland's demise is unwelcome but not unexpected news - I’m pretty sure that most other cities...

    4 Stars (or: The reviewing of art vs. the art of reviewing)

    Right, I said in the 'Is Dissensus dead? thread that new threads were in order, so let's have it. I like reading reviews of things. Music, films, books, theatre, videogames, restaurants, whatever - I lap them up. (I seem to recall devouring issues of Which? magazine whilst awaiting dentistry.)...
