What Do All Your Threads Have To Do With W&G


wooly12 Posted: Jan 1st 2008

i want to join the addarm


Josephine Posted: Jan 1st 2008

I know what this has got to do with & - there is a policeman called PC Mackintosh in "...Were-Rabbit". There is also a police station in The Wrong Trousers. MichaelCharlton, look up everything you can about joining the police. If there are any police open days in your area, it would be a great chance to see what they do and ask questions. I know that there will be some who would say that it is a dangerous job - but, as we know from 9/11 (and Manchester in 1996), even going to work can be fraught with danger. Along with all the required qualifications and fitness stuff, it is essential that you can deal with people - you'd be surprised how many don't have this skill. Good luck, Michael, and all the best! ;)


MichaelCharlton Posted: Jan 1st 2008

Thanks Josephine


Josephine Posted: Jan 2nd 2008

No probs, MichaelCharlton! Anytime!
Happy New Year!


Mark the shark Posted: Jan 2nd 2008

Yeah, I hope you get what you're looking for MichaelCarlton! Don't listen to Lemon06. None of his forums are to do with W&G!:D


Josephine Posted: Jan 2nd 2008

I think Lemon06 has been squeezed out by the look of things...I've not seen any signs of those distasteful things he posted...unless I'm mistaken. If I'm not, then good on Aardman for acting so quickly! Thank you!


Mark the shark Posted: Jan 2nd 2008

Were you talking to me? If you are, Lemon06 kind of boasted on the drawings forum and believe me it was rude!


Josephine Posted: Jan 2nd 2008

Mark the Shark, It makes my blood boil when an unmentionable decides it is big and clever to post rude and distasteful stuff - especially when they know full well that innocent children are using the site, too. Thankfully, they are few but they cause hurt all the same and we must continue to air our disgust at anyone who dares to do it again. We are a warm and caring community here.

The moderators are entitled to a Christmas/New Year, too, but why not get a duty moderator for holidays etc. to keep an eye on things? I don't know what that would involve but it's just a suggestion. Then again, why should anyone have to give up their own time to keep an eye out for no-marks? My blood continues to boil...


Mark the shark Posted: Jan 2nd 2008

Yep, my blood's boiling too!


Josephine Posted: Jan 2nd 2008

It's still boiling!


Mark the shark Posted: Jan 3rd 2008

Mine's cooled.:D


Josephine Posted: Jan 3rd 2008

Mine has gone lukewarm, now!


Mark the shark Posted: Jan 4th 2008

What does lukewarm mean?


Josephine Posted: Jan 4th 2008

Lukewarm means "only slightly warm" - for eg if you leave your hot tea for a while before drinking it and it has cooled off but not completely cold.

Hope this helps, Mark The Shark!

does anyone no wer i can get some 4-5mm beads for eyes thanx


Josephine Posted: Jan 4th 2008

Hobbycraft would be your best bet. In Manchester, there is a craft and hobby shop called Fred Aldous. If you Google it, there might be a website and you could order online. My mum and sister would go there for anything they wouldn't be able to find anywhere else. Good luck!


DancingShauny99 Posted: Jan 4th 2008

Well,I wish u the best of luck and I hope u get the job!


Mark the shark Posted: Jan 4th 2008

Yes, so do I. ;)Thanks, Josephine.:D


Josephine Posted: Jan 4th 2008

Always a pleasure!


Mark the shark Posted: Jan 5th 2008

You are very kind!:D


Seb Moderator Posted: Jan 5th 2008

I was constantly checking over Christmas, but didn't realise that would offend people. I'm sure Lemon06 didn't want to upset anyone.


Mark the shark Posted: Jan 6th 2008

Yes, I know. Sorry, Seb.:)


Cybergurl Posted: Feb 1st 2008

Aren't British Police called "Bobbies". Or is that like,a yesterday thing?


Mark the shark Posted: Feb 3rd 2008

I think so.:-|


Cybergurl Posted: Feb 3rd 2008

Whoah,Mark,are you American or something? nothing personal,just wondering,have you got any Webkinz Pets?


Mark the shark Posted: Feb 7th 2008

No I'm not American, soz. I'm Scottish. I meant I think it's a Yesterday thing.:D


Josephine Posted: Feb 7th 2008

We still call them "Bobbies" - they are named after a 19th Century British Government Home Secretary called Sir Robert Peel, who helped reorganise the London police. As Bobby is short for Robert, it's natural to call the cops, polis, gendarmes, gards, bizzies, fuzz etc. BOBBIES!!!

Hope that helps!


cinders1 Posted: Feb 8th 2008

i dont know if any of you have seen the movie Hot Fuzz?, its about the countryside police, but it was filmed in our local town, it was really funny seeing places that we shop, and our somerfields being wrecked, and the spooky place at the very end is really a beautiful place, we sometimes take a picnic there and feed the swans:O


Mark the shark Posted: Feb 8th 2008

Really, Cinders? That's interesting! I'd better have a look at that movie. It might be interesting!;)


conty Posted: Feb 8th 2008

it was weird watching that film, seeing all the local places and it was quite funny as we do have a local bobby who is just like the local bobbys in the film, strange!!!:O


Mark the shark Posted: Feb 8th 2008

Very strange!;)Me, my sister and my ma went to see a film about the loch ness monster called The Water Horse and it was strange to finally see a Scottish film! FINALLY!!!:D


jodyblue1 Posted: Feb 9th 2008

Who has seen THE BILL


squigly Posted: Feb 9th 2008

Conty and cinders, I heard about Hot Fuzz. Now I'm a bit more interested in seeing it. In America we have an online DVD rental service called Netflix that I subscribe to. I think I'll add Hot Fuzz to the queque.

Sharkie, I also saw a preview for the Water Horse. Did you enjoy the story? I was also thinking of adding the movie to my Netflix queque.

jodyblue, I haven't heard about The Bill. What's it about?


Mark the shark Posted: Feb 9th 2008

It was brill, Squigly! It was a great story! Excellent! The computer generated effects were phenomanal!!! Absoutley breath-taking!;)Absoutley unmissable!:D


squigly Posted: Feb 9th 2008

Thanks, Mark. I will definitely add Water Horse to my Netflix queque!!


Mark the shark Posted: Feb 10th 2008

You're welcome! You should see it!:D


jodyblue1 Posted: May 10th 2008

Did you see the bomb 1 last week FANTASTIC!


Mark the shark Posted: May 10th 2008

No, crud. :-(
