Pulled a muscle in my neck drying my hair with a towel
What's the most ridiculous way you ever hurt yourself? I got out of the tub, skidded in water and tripped over the toilet. Ankle sprain.

I think it's a shame kids aren't exposed to boring old black and white films on TV at Christmas any more. If you're younger than me (an ancient man of the hills) BBC iPlayer currently has Bringing Up Baby, Some Like It Hot, Double Indemnity, The Third Man & Suspicion. All bangers!

A rival institution to mine is offering this course. They probably should have turned comments off because they're getting hammered.
Not scrambling to make a fomo induced, cynical, soulless degree would have been best

I have wanted a model kit of ED-209 since I was 13 and saw Robocop when I was irresponsibly young/perfect age.
What a design! This kit balances easily too, which considering ED's silly legs is impressive
