And this brings a whole knew meaning to those 80s flashbacks I've had:

#526~A pregnant goldfish is called a twerp.

#527~It is impossible to lick your elbow or stick your elbow in your ear.

Two DVDs were imports.
One is region 0, but PAL. So it'd still require a converter (or a good DVD-ROM drive). The other is Region 2+4, AND PAL, so it'd require both.
For those that need explanations, I think another thread would be required.

The discs in question are:

Dangermouse (Vol. 6) - Who Stole the Bagpipes?
Doctor Who (Vol. 14) - 2 disc set of The Talons of Weng-Chiang (which is printed as the Talons of Weng-Chang on the discs themselves. Oops. This has caused many "Typos of Weng-Chiang" jokes already).

Volume numbers are unofficial, but based on # of discs released in both series.

The CD is Blue Man Group: The Complex, their new collaboration album.

#529~A goldfish has a memory span of three seconds. (As noted by a reader: "The reason a goldfish swims back and forth and back and forth across the fish bowl all day long everyday is because by the time it gets to one side of the bowl it forgets what's on the other side of the bowl. Every trip is a new adventure! (Hey, I wonder what's over there!.... Hey! I wonder what's over THERE!)"

The thing about the fish with the short memory spans is mocked quite readily by Pixar in their Finding Nemo trailers....

All DM DVDs are easily obtainable in the UK. I just had to use amazon.co.uk. My DVD-ROM handles PAL->NTSC conversions, though I think most monitors are agnostic in terms of such video formats.

Oh and yes, I own the other 5, and the (to date) only Count Duckula release.

#533.

What happened, did everyone go out to lunch simultaneously?

#534

#535~Threads like these are hot and cold, dadaist.

#536. I'll turn the heat up IAKG. There ... 80 degrees. See if that doesn't help.

Yeah well you'll notice I didn't say anything when you popped into the chatroom IAKG, because I was busy passing on a message that just came to me from SCO's CEO.

(long, very geeky story involved, and might have a lot of fun litigation too. I gotta get out of IT).

#537

#538~That's okay--I needed to run fairly quickly, anyway.
