You do not get many bad guys in films who believe in equal rights and a fair deal for all because that's not what bad guys in films are about. Bad guys in films have really crappy world views and everyone should hate them for being douche bags (Loki seems to be the exception that proves the rule). It's worth reflecting perhaps that if Gaston existed in our society then he'd be the one who would ostracized, he'd be the one who would be derided and pushed to fringe of society because our society sees his views as stupid and wrong. Meanwhile the guy who looks like a lion is awesome and would have his own TV show and beauty hair products. That's why we watch the film and know who to cheer for. But as a side note the character of Gaston doesn't exist in the original two hundred and fifty year old story because he's not needed in story form, but he's needed in the Disney film because he's the face of evil, he's the "bad guy" with the wrong ideas that needs to be physically defeated.

Sorry to be a buzzkill but I don't know how with the internet and all this info freely available someone can claim Apple invented the first home computer. You've got the Programma 101 (1962), IBMs SCAMP (1973), the Wang 2200 (1973) & HP9830A (1973). When the Apple II (1977) first appeared (Apple I was just a motherboard) it also had the Commodore PET (1977) and the TRS-80 (1977) to compete with at the exact same time.

"And being chased by ghosts." Wait. What? Of course the third component of Pac Man is never mentioned in this tired Marcus Brigstocke joke because it doesn't fit. I'm just hostile to this joke because it's about the four hundredth time I've read it.

Step 5. Don't learn anything from getting the answer. Step 6. Fail math. Step 7. Leave school without diploma. Step 8. Become homeless and unemployed. Step 9. Lead the last remnants of humans against the alien invasion in 2017. Step 10. Become President of the New World Order. Step 11. Die surrounded by millions who love you.

It needs more films. There's only one there. I say go for the Harry Potter marathon.

"For our British friends ..." A British person would probably be in the minority if they put a single tea bag in a cup and saucer unless it was one of those herbal type teabags that are called "lemon and echinacea" or "tangerine and liquorice". Those sorts of tea smell great but usually taste of hot water so people in the British Isles favor caffeinated teas from companies like PG Tips and Tetley. If you've gone to the trouble of a cup and saucer you more likely to use a teapot to brew it in and not leave the tea bag in the cup to stew. For convenience if you've got a single cup to brew you'd usually put a tea bag in a mug and again, not leave the tea bag in the cup to stew. So having herbal teas with the Royal Family on them to sit in you tea cup and stew for the British would be like having a china plate with a knife and fork embossed with the face of Barrack Obama which you'd say are for Americans to use to eat their pizza. It's a bit wrong is all....

I don't care if either of them want to be what ever the definition of a "slut" or an "angel" is. That's their choice and that's their business. I just want to download some sort of "Miley twerking" and "Miley with her tongue sticking out" filter for my web browser. Load up the front page of an online news site and it seems to be some sort of law that there's a picture of Miley with her tongue out somewhere on it these days. Some sites can go a week or two without a Miley with her tongue out pic and then "shizam!", she's there again. I'm starting to get a twitch...

I liked the driveway one. It made me realize that if you've got a toilet that flushes then most of our toilets are sort of connected via the oceans. I hope you're not reading this while sitting on throne and wondering if something is going to come up the s-bend.

At first I quite liked the digital readout in the jug. Trouble is I'd be filling it from a tap and my hand would be covering the display as I'd be actually holding it by the handle. Therefore I'd have to put the jug down or fill it holding the spout side or cup it at the bottom. This doesn't make it convenient it makes it a tiny bit annoying.

I don't think the Shrek movies are kid's films, rather they're family films i.e. everyone enjoys them what ever age. I'm generalizing here but when you're a kid Shrek 1 is about Shrek rescuing a princess and learning that looks don't define who you are, Shrek 2 is about defeating the Fairy Godmother, Shrek 3 is about Shrek defeating the fairy tale villains led by Prince Charming and Shrek Forever After is all about stopping Rumpelstiltskin. An adult might see Shrek 1 is about Shrek leaving the single life behind and finding out he needs friends. Shrek 2 is about Shrek's fear about meeting his wife's family and measuring up. Shrek 3 is about Shrek's fear about becoming a new father. Shrek Forever After is about Shrek getting so fed up at being a new parent he's tricked into signing a magical contract. When you come back to the Shrek films when you're older and after going though your own experiences you might appreciate them from a different angle. Or not.

I'm white and on my travels around Asia got asked once if my big pointy nose enabled me to smell things better. I didn't take it as racism, just curiosity by someone who hadn't met a white person before. I once got asked if I spoke English which I didn't take as racist despite actually being English and being in England at the time. Sometimes folks are just a bit ignorant and not trying to be racist. I think you've got to take the question in the context of the situation they're asking to decide if racism is there (which we can't tell from a written sign in a photograph).

It may seem a bit confusing but England would still call itself "England" and would not necessarily call itself the United Kingdom per se. This is because England is only a part of the United Kingdom which to give it it's full title is "United Kingdom of Great Briton and Northern Ireland" (shortened to UK). The UK consists of England & Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland, each with their own separate flags and even having languages other than English (Welsh, Scottish Gaelic, Irish Gaelic). So although the UK is one official country that fields an Olympic team together, the component countries each have their own FIFA football teams and field separate teams at things like the Commonwealth Games...........TL;DR - England as a country would not say they were called the United Kingdom anymore than California would say they were called the United States of America.

The Anglo-Zanzibar War fought between the United Kingdom and the Zanzibar Sultanate on 27 August 1896 lasted around 40 minutes and resulted in 500 Zanzibar casualties and 1 injured British sailor (who probably slopped some hot water on his hand while making the tea). That must have been a pretty cost effective war.

Might be classed as "adult" because kids seeing it might get the idea that it's also a good idea to also play with the gas hob. If you're thinking it's not my job to make sure other kids don't burn their houses down, it's not. But if it's in their terms and conditions they expect stuff that goes up can be looked at by kids and have got to show a bit of responsibility.

Sometimes I wish government agencies would data share. You get a form sent to you and the first questions are what are your name and what is your address. Dude! You sent me the form! You know this sh*t already!

It's called eleven because it comes from the Old English "endleofan" which meant "one left' after ten.

The origami instructions seemed simple to follow at first but I couldn't tell what it was I'd made when I finished. 2 stars out of 5.

It's a nice soundbite but that's all it is. Who says a good teachers won't try and change the way they teach if what they're teaching isn't getting through? Think about how you learn? If you had to teach yourself how would you have done it? Multiply by millions of people and tailor a system that works for all. Then compare how you, your parents and your grandparents were taught at school and you'll see that education is in a total state of flux looking for the magic sweet spot where everyone is happy with what's being taught and how it's taught. To misquote Homer Simpson "Actors. Is there anything they don't know?"

In the western world a hundred years ago the poor used to be thin because they were starving and the rich fat, but nowadays due to cheap processed food and the rich's access to a better diet, personal trainers etc it's more likely to be the other way around.

Do you want to hear a really boring answer to why kamikaze pilots wore helmets? During take off and landing (kamikaze pilots had to land too if the weather was bad and the mission aborted) they had to fly with the canopy open and so they wore these cloth or leather caps which kept their heads warm (the idea being that during take off and landing you had to canopy open so you could clear the plane quicker). Some "helmets" had earphones in so they could hear the radio too. Modern fighter pilots wear proper helmets just to protect their heads from bouncing off the canopy during whizzy maneuvers as no helmet is going to be much use if you smash your plane into something hard.

Is this the left eyebrow or the right eyebrow? I'm a guy so my eyebrows look like they were drawn on by a toddler with a thick Sharpie marker and no one cares as long as they don't meet in the middle.

Anyone else unnecessarily annoyed that this person didn't just try to put the fire out rather than clown dancing around with their phone AND the motherloving second device used to take the picture? They didn't die in the fire obviously and I wouldn't wish that on anyone ... but if there was one person who deserves to die in a fire, this is that person. I hope that if they'd died in the fire and got to heaven they'd bump into Joan of Arc or someone else who was burnt to death as a punishment and they'd get chatting on how they died and Joan of Arc would learn the truth about this idiot and although she's a saint she just ups and punches them in the ear. That's how much this annoys me.
