The Culture Cup round 8

First topic message reminder :

Next up on the seemingly endless and woefully named Culture Cup is round 8 and the poll for 'Best ever Documentary'.  Personally, I am looking forward to the results on this round as the quality of the field is pretty damn good.  

Round 7 brought us the poll for 'Best film released in the decade of the participants birth'.  This round threw up a shockingly bad choice of winner with Azzy's pick of Die Hard.  How that can be the best or even most cultured film out of this bunch is a mystery.  Still, it means 12 points for Azzy and she moves into 3rd.  Galted and seanmichaels pick up 10 points each with Life of Brian and Jaws respectively, both of which would have been more deserving winners.  Jeff has gained 4 points on his nemesis superfly and edges closer to the top.  Hero and compelling & rich both picked up decent points hauls and maintain a healthy but not unsurpassable lead at the top.  A solid 7 points for Union has seen him pull away from the bottom, not a motion he is used to doing.  The Womble managed to pick up a vote despite his questionable, albeit very funny, choice of Supergirl.  Adam was the big loser, only picking up 2 votes for Halloween.  He really should have picked something better.  Something like Rocky would have surely got more points.

Hero (One flew over the Cuckoos nest): (8) 64
compelling & rich (Empire Strikes Back): (9) 61
Azzy (Die Hard): (12) 56
seanmichaels (Jaws): (10) 55
Galted (Life of Brian): (10) 50
Adam (Halloween): (4) 46
TopHat (Scarface): (6) 45
Rowley (Godfather II): (7) 44
onlytreblewinners (Shawshank Redemption): (7) 43
bhb (Cool Hand Luke): (5) 41
The Womble (Supergirl): (3) 39
superflyweight (Chinatown): (3) 38
The Boss (Pulp Fiction): (6) 37
Dolphin (Rainman): (4) 34
Union (Monty Python and the Holy Grail): (7) 34
JuliusHMarx (The Misfits): (3) 33
ChequeredJersey (Raiders of the Lost Ark): (4) 30
jbeadlesbigrighthand (Lethal Weapon): (4) 27

Round 9 brings us back to literature and the question is thus: Name the best piece of literature with a place or type of building in the title  It can be a town/country/planet/hall/shop/train station etc etc, you get the drift.  So long as it is some sort of place or building then it qualifies.  I will be the sole judge of whether it meets the criteria or not.  PLEASE PM AT LEAST A COUPLE OF CHOICES.

For the poll, you will only be able to vote for ONE CHOICE and vote cancelling will not be allowed.  It stopped the voting scandal that dogged the previous two rounds so we will carry on with it.

REMEMBER, IT IS OPEN FOR THE WHOLE FORUM TO VOTE!

Believe the phrase you are looking for is bad to worse Tina.

U R IN A Lot of trouble if these jokes carry on.

Would you rather talk about insects or toilet paper?

Wasn't it Bertrand Russell's Principia Mathematica that discussed the relative merits of one-sheet vs two-sheet arse-wiping?
I could be wrong.

And he covered folding or scrunching.

I lay the paper out in front of me and hand-walk along it with my knees up around my ears.

Niether, but guess you knew I would say that.

Not especially. I thought, or hoped, you might say insects if given the choice.

Is very much a question akin with whether I would rather listen to Westlife or Mumford and Sons. There may well be an answer to the question but it should not imply any interest in the subject.

I won't lie Jeff, that has taken the wind out my sails. I am man enough to admit it.

I know that you know that I know that insects would be the answer if push came to shove.

Galted noticed you referring to yourself in the third person. Galted is pleased by this. Galted thinks that this might become the New Way.

Rowley agrees with this.
Hang on, I'm referring to myself in the wrong third person.

Galted says persevere with third-person referrals and you will become as proficient as Galted.

so wrong.

I feel that we have gone off topic here.

Lets get back to the quality of the TP please!

And for the record, I use two sheets, folded over so that it goes three ply - basically fold over the sheet to about a third of the way on to the other sheet and then fold again.

Its gives a good WWB ratio (wiping without breakage)

Great minds and all that, this has been my method ever since the Great Wipeage Disaster of 2007.

for me it was the Stinky Index Calamity of '99

I'm detecting a lack of love for moist wipes.

For home deliveries I just squat in the bath afterwards and use the showerhead at an angle.

Wiping, bunch of southern fairies.

Rowley wrote:Wiping, bunch of southern fairies.

You get someone to lick it clean?

Just leave it as nature intended Jules.

If god had intended the good people of Rotherham to wipe their bums, he'd have given them oppossable thumbs that they could accidently push through the paper.

And as Tino well knows, I only get on 606 when I'm on the bog at work. He did ask for picture proof, he shouldn't have been so shocked

By my reckoning, this is at least your second sh*t of the day.

This is my 29th Zigglersh*t of the day.

That actually wouldn't be a bad round. I'd go for Michelangelo's David. It also features a knob, and the sculptor was my fourth favourite turtle!
 
If Tino refuses to give you a platform (a plinth?) to display your knob though, there is this:

Erm, no.

That would involve way too much typing on behalf.

Yes. You have only have to read the last few posts and you could have worked that out yourself.

Voting is now closed.

Rd 9 is up tomorrow unless I die or someone close to me dies between now and the morning. Or if I'm ill. Or if I get fired.

If any of that doesn't happen, then gird your loins for the next round.

Hmph. I might be in with a vague shot of winning still. Although if I keep being referred to as 'she', I don't want to anyway...

When you stop with the hissy fits, then I will stop with the 'she' business.
