Just had one random question but it seems the original thread has been deleted for some reason...anyway

is it safe to go into the Heavy Rain thread again?

Does anyone know of a website where I can look at the top 10 films at the cinema throughout the last few years? I've done a Google search but it didn't come up with much and I'm sure I've seen a site that does this in the past.

Have you tried this?

Boxoffice Mojo should be able to help.

Top grossing or audience figures?

Booking a holiday package for my honeymoon and mainly looking for 5 star but have seen lot's of similiar packages with 4 plus stars (same as 4 1/2 i guess?)

What is the technical difference between the two ratings? I heard once that to get 7 stars you basically have to have a private road from the airport to the hotel with no traffic...sounds a bit over the top but there you go!

Does anyone remember Anachronox on the PC? That game was an overlooked gem. I have a similar fondness for it is as I do Planescape Torment. EG should do one of those retrospective reviews or something.

Room size mainly. 7 stars is meaningless bollocks, the Star rating is arbitrary in many other countries. Look at hotel reviews before deciding.

Always check tripadvisor before booking a holiday ANYWHERE

Only time I didn't bother checking we ended up stacking chairs behind our hotel room door to keep the theives out whilst we slept!

Never (EVER!) go to Puerto Plata Village in the Dominican Republic - it will ruin your life!

cheers, have actually been looking into the Dom Rep but will probably settle with Mexico, seems you can get a bit more for your money there

Dom Rep is actually pretty reasonable for what you get provided you steer clear of the 'locals'

Check out Victoria Golf & Beach Resort (Playa Dorada) - stayed there a couple of times and was brilliant on both occasions.

Did you have a cock in your mouth while typing that question? If so, maybe.

Deleted user 26 February 2010 15:35:46

Thanks. It was the only random question that popped into my head when I saw the thread.

If a woodchuck that could chuck wood would be in a wooden box. Would the wood be in the quantum flux of being both chucked and not chucked?

Deleted user 26 February 2010 15:42:58

I believe so Tiger.

"Who is supporting Hockey in Glasgow tonight?"

The tax payer probably...

Perhaps I should point out that Hockey are a band.

Haven't been to a gig for a while so might take a trip up to see what like - last gig I went to was the Pixies at SECC.

I've never been to oran mor before so it's exciting new venue time for me.
