Yeah no, sorry. You guys convinced me already it's not worth the hassle for a massproduced and probably badly printed drawstring bag.

Why do I have the feeling you're making fun of me? Also, did you just compare me to a pervy old guy? :p

:rofl:

@ c_t - you must experience page 3. It's definitely one you'll remember and you'll start noticing how all the men who read The Sun / Daily Star are very similar.....

If you ever have to sit through the citizenship test and if tested on your Britishness.... Just say Page 3 of The Sun. :p

Yes, MrGlee, I do know it's "something" sleazy but the extend I am not sure of (yet). And a_p, I don't have to do a course because I am a EU citizen (and no I will NEVER eat Marmite anyway and a bacon sarnie is just wrong! Bacon goes with eggs).

So.... The Hunger Games! Interesting article on how none of the marketing for the movie actually shows any of the Games:
