        Dammit. I though it was like the female only accommodation at Uni (aka the Virgin Megastore).

        On a side note calling it Zavvi just doesn't have the same ring.

          The British started calling Germans Huns durng WWI, as in 'Tally ho chaps, we'll show the hun what British chaps are made of', prior to showing everyone that British chaps were made of flesh and blood just like all the other poor sods who got mutilated by machine guns.

            Oh. Thats a shame. At least it has a few twiddly things and some pushy pushy buttons to keep you entertained.
            I'm better than dirt. Well, most kinds of dirt, not that fancy store-bought dirt... I can't compete with that stuff.

              I think you'll find it was the courts saying that the use of Hun is sectarian. But then 'your lot' always seem to miss the point when it comes to Sectarianism.

                    There's nothing to get. It's just stupid human nature.

                    Israelis vs Palestinians
                    Catholics vs Protestants
                    Muslims vs Everyone else
                    <<My group>> vs <<Your group>>

                    My lot are better/superior/cleverer than yours etc.
                    Instead of realising that it's all chance and randomness.
