You could start a Bring Back The Pier thread, or something...

www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vaf-QxhQh6g"Simroid, a robotic dental patient with an eerily realistic appearance, has been spotted at the 2007 International Robot Exhibition in Tokyo. Designed primarily as a training tool for dentists, the fembot patient can follow spoken instructions, closely monitor a dentist’s performance during mock treatments, and react in a human-like way to mouth pain. Because Simroid’s realistic appearance and behavior motivate people to treat her like a human being, as opposed to an object, she helps dental trainees learn how to better communicate with patients. Simroid’s body and control system was developed by Kokoro Company Ltd., creators of the Actroid receptionist robot. Like her Actroid sister, Simroid is equipped with a system of air-powered muscles and soft silicone skin. However, she has something the Actroid does not — sensitive teeth. Thanks to a mouth loaded with sensors, she knows when her dentist-in-training makes a mistake. And to express her pain, she grimaces, moves her hands and eyes, and says, “That hurts.” Kokoro says that for an extra touch of realism, Simroid exhibits a gag reflex when instruments are inserted too far into her mouth. " Fascinating, compelling, and strangely terrifying. Watch, do...

Although I appear to be logged, in that it says I am at the bottom of the main screen, I cannot look at messages or post in my name. Think there must be some glitch somewhere. I only have the options of logging on or registering - not signing off.

has anyone else seen the new ford (magazine, not tv)advert, that is robertson street, ?no? This Ford/Disney ad is also on pp4&5 of the Xmas Radio Times. Youh can still make out Hastings Castle to the right of the Disney one; and although all the shop fronts are meant to have been altered to refer to Disney films/characters, take a close look at the business on the left hand side of Robertson Street, right in the centrefold of the magazine: it's remained Le Pattie Cafe!

You may have already noticed but for those who haven't, the Disney castle is made up (i.e. cut 'n' paste photo shopped) of Hastings Churches (the main spire is Christ Church St Leonards etc).

I hadn't noticed that! I did spot an un-airbrushed Sweet Selection at the end of Robertson Street; Tin Tin's survives unaltered on the other side of the road too.

N.E.V.E.R. happens to me... *pouts* Marks and Spencer ALWAYS ask. I got iD'd in there last month buying a bottle of Rioja, a copy of the Guardian, 8 black "comfort fit" socks and a shirt for work. Hardly the shopping basket of an underage drinker. Factor in the fact that I am a greying man in his 30's and you can only assume that they ask everyone.

I still get confused by everyone's names. Causes quite a few problems, as you'd imagine.

Not sure what it's relating to on the page (usually the keywords are triggered by the content on the posts, I think?), but one of the Google ads on the front page just now was: See Gross Stuff Here Are you a junk monkey? Visit us and witness the sickness today! www.junkmonkeys.tvYa know what? No. I don't think I'll click that link. I like my eyeballs, and I'd rather not have to take them out and bleach them, thankseversoverymuch...

Me too. Although I would be going cos I really like their music, it has to be said the other reason would be that Alison Goldfrapp is one hell of a sweet hook up!

Yeah- I just booked a couple (I would have offered to book tickets for folk en masse, but we just caved and bought a new sofa, so cash flow's an issue until pay day...) and there weren't any groups of 2 seats together in either the stalls or the balcony. We're in the side seating (probably behind a pillar!) So if you want to go, I'd get in there quick...
