I start work early tomorrow. I should've been in bed long before now. EwanM and my brother are having a conversation about the misery of life (on twitter) and I've been watching it unfold :hehe:


Tell him to kick start his rapidly failing enterprise.


I'd rather he came back here to be honest.


He has his own forum which he has let die despite some some bold promises about kick starting it. Sad. :thumbdown:

Perhaps because so much of the population there was a cast off from elsewhere?
The Island of Misfit Toys

The "Island of Misfit Toys", another canonical addition to the original Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer story, is an island sanctuary where defective and unwanted toys are sent. Among its inhabitants:

King Moonracer - a winged lion who acts as the island's ruler, voiced by Stan Francis. King Moonracer is responsible for flying around the world each night in search of unwanted toys. He lives in a large castle atop a hill on The Island of Misfit Toys, and acts as a sovereign to the island, deciding who can or cannot stay on the Island, such as Rudolph, Hermey, and Yukon Cornelius.
Charlie-In-The-Box is a misnamed, but otherwise seemingly normal jack-in-the-box who acts as the island's sentry. Charlie is voiced by Carl Banas, who also voices several other toys in this scene.
Spotted Elephant is a polka dotted elephant and also is the island's footman.
"A Dolly for Sue" (as she calls herself) is a seemingly normal girl rag doll with red hair and a red gingham dress. Her misfit problem is never explained on the special, but was possibly revealed on NPR's Wait Wait… Don't Tell Me! news quiz show (broadcast December 8, 2007). The show revealed that Rudolph's producer, Arthur Rankin Jr., says Dolly's problem was psychological, caused from being abandoned by her mistress and suffering depression from feeling unloved.[3]
Bird Fish is a toy bird who swims instead of flies.
A misfit cowboy who rides an ostrich.
Trainer, a train with square wheels on its caboose.
A toy boat that sinks rather than floats; a squirt gun that shoots grape jelly; an airplane that cannot fly, and "a scooter for Jimmy".

It is during this scene the Marks standard, "The Most Wonderful Day of the Year" is performed by the inhabitants. Toy versions of nearly every character from this show were produced in the 1990s.

Viewers were so taken by these forlorn characters, many complained Santa was not seen fulfilling his promise to include them in his annual delivery. In reaction, a new scene for subsequent rebroadcasts was produced[citation needed] with Santa, with Rudolph in the lead, making his first stop at the island to pick up the toys.

Yeah, I get the impression that it was set up in spite only. Heck, the owners don't even use it!

The site still lists the Indian GP as the next race! :hehe:

it takes more than one person to make a forum. it is hard to chat to yourself.


Very true. Myself, Lew and one or two others have tried. Waste of time.

Ah well there's always Forumula1! :D

Oh thank you :D People keep telling it is so,but sometimes I have difficulty with making sentences with the 100% correct grammar and I can't understand,news and F1 articles completely.Hope I'm gonna sort these out soon :thumbup: Sadly in Turkey we have to study for uni exams instead of getting better in foreign languages!
#333814
So do most of the fluent english speakers. I remember someone saying it was the hardest language to learn... TBH I struggle with every language.

I don't know what is happening, but servers are falling all over the world. I'm having trouble loading many sites from different continents... Could it be connected with the Solar eclipse, sun flares and stuff?
#333817
I think we are at the height of solar flares (from memory they have a 12 year cycle) The sporadic E caused in the atmosphere will have an effect on Sattilite (spl) and HF communications.
