Hi guys! I'm Bella and I work for Capital Meats. I was having lunch with my co-worker in our break room here and chatting about our favorite TV shows. She has been telling me to watch the show Its Always Sunny In Philadelphia and I've been meaning to but I never did until a few nights ago. I watched the kitten mittens episode. Was the most hilarious thing I've seen on television in ages. I love this show and am now a huge fan. She lent me her copies of the first 3 seasons on DVD and I can't wait to go home to watch it.

PC controller gets steamed up over Thomas 'the Sexist' Tank Engine By David Wilkes Last updated at 1:17 AM on 10th December 2009 Comments (0) Add to My Stories If you thought the television tales about Thomas the Tank Engine were merely light-hearted fun, think again. In fact, they portray a world blighted by a 'conservative political ideology' and a rigid class system which stifles self-expression. And they are sexist. That, at least, is the view of a female academic who took the trouble to analyse 23 episodes of the programme inspired by the books of the Rev W V Awdry. 'Demeaning to women': Thomas the Tank Engine stifles self exp…

For some reason, I'm just having flat-out issues with YouTube. Most times, videos will not play or load at all despite me clicking the play button. In case you need specs, I'm running Firefox 3.0.15 (latest update) on Win XP. YouTube says it needs JavaScript/Flash Player to play videos so here are the details of those Java Platform SE 6 U 14 ("Next generation Java Plug-in 1.6.0_14 for Mozilla browsers") Shockwave Flash 10.0 r32 It shouldn't be a problem with the players, because I have two and this setup has worked perfectly before :huh: Halp? Playing flv videos should be pretty easy, I shouldn't have problems with it like I do now :confused:
