I found this story interesting -

Quote:

Gambling addict Adam Potts stole £2,754 worth of National Lottery scratch cards from a supermarket – before cashing in his £98 winnings.

The 25-year-old swiped a whole stand of cards from Tesco, in Longton, and then just 12 hours later he took a batch to Tesco Express, in Chell, to claim his prizes.

A £98 return on that number of scratchcards is pretty poor.

Was the G-Man in Half-Life purposely modelled on James Comey? That's quite a coincidence otherwise.

Wiki says he was an assistant US Attorney in Richmond, VA in the mid-90s, so probably not

Talking of t-shirts, this was rather pleasing on Friday:

All about three hours before Kensington was actually declared.

You might want to look into something called "Google", because there's fucking loads.

Crikey, how will that help? No link to it. What is this 'google'? A person I should seek? Oh man.

I saw a t shirt which was an A Wlng, a B wing , a Y wing an x wing and a Corellian light freighter all in silhouette with different coloured kines coming out the back but cannot find it anywhere. It was dope.

Is this it? I don't really know the spaceships that well.

Neither do the designers of those T-shirts. Enterprise is flying backwards!

They should do an A B B A t-shirt using the ships.

...I should do that.

I wondered that too. I wasn't sure if there was some obscure Star Wars ship shaped like the Enterprise.

Cras · **Joined:** 30th Mar, 2008 **Posts:** 49232

Nope. I think that's TIE Interceptor, Falcon, Colonial Viper, Backwards Enterprise, Klingon Bird of Prey, ????, and Xwing.

Any ideas on the fifth one, anyone?

MaliA · **Posted:** Tue Jun 13, 2017 14:33

That's a great idea.

I just realised I could do one for Mrs Fop aka Abby.

But then I remembered she hates Star Wars.

It is a bit overrated, but better than Shawshank.
