Has anyone ever booked a restaurant table in the name of a celebrity? I'm about to book a birthday meal for my mum at the local carvery and wondering what name to book it in to elicit the most disappointment by staff when we turn up

Depends if it's a piece of stock or already fixed in situ. Also, if it's got a paint finish? I'd glue it with a lolly stick type thingy and apply a tourniquet type cramp, if you can get around it, Then let it set Then you'd possibly want to fill it with a wood filler and sand it? It's quite unusual I'd imagine to get a split in MDF It's a really dense type of board |

Re: Random Questions (3)
^ Cheers. I managed to fix it. I opened the crack (the sort you get when it's been hit hard) in the MDF by pushing down on a pebble to open the crack. Then used some PVA glue, wiping off the excess. then turned the panel over and pushed down hard on a flat surface with a hot clothes iron to set the glue. At least I found a use for the iron. I will have to paint it but it's worked out well.
I like mending things rather than throwing them away and contrary to The Daily Mail, you're not rich on disability. |

Re: Random Questions (3)
Would you say Avatar (the first one) is suitable for a 9 year old?
My answer is no, maybe in a year or two, but my daughter really wants to watch it. Her friends have watched it apparently. She's watched the entire Harry Potter movies and that got real dark real quick, so maybe she'll be able to handle the violence and themes in Avatar.... |

Re: Random Questions (3)

Go with your gut. You could always stick The Smurfs on. |

Re: Random Questions (3)
Oddly enough, when I went to see avatar a couple of weeks ago, my overriding feeling was "this is really aimed at kids"
I certainly wouldn't say it's an adult film in any sense, It might be aimed at teenagers strictly speaking, but I think more accurately, doe-eyed, innocent teenagers, It's all quite dreamy and airy-fairy as a film, I actually felt a bit embarrassed sitting watching it. (as an adult) |

Re: Random Questions (3)
Why are North Face clothes so popular? They cost a fortune, like £300 for a coat, and every time I see someone wearing their stuff it'll just be plain black with a little logo. I DON'T GET IT AND I DON'T LIKE IT.

Re: Random Questions (3)

Re: Random Questions (3)
Has anyone been to see Van Gogh the immersive experience in London?
With the VR bit. I'm going on the 27th. Just been reading the reviews outside of the official website and there not all good. I do know someone who has been and they loved it but it is thier cup of tea. Wheras the friend i'm going with it isn't her usual kind of thing and now I'm a bit like :/ Tbf it's not my normal kind of thing but I fancied something different. Plus would quite like to go to London with someone to get me used to doing it more. |

I have no idea either. I don't usually buy weather gear 'cause I rarely go out. A few years ago now I went into a camping gear shop which was having a sale. Looked at North Face coats/fleeces and they were not all that. they looked like pretty standard fleece material that isn't al that hard wearing. Instead bought a hard wearing windproof fleece by "outdoor scene" for £50 half price. It was brilliant and lasted really well, even after being attacked by cigs and fireworks etc. I still have it, my expanding waist won out. |

^^ Thanks stepford. That's a shame.
^ Thanks biscuits. Sounds lovely in a chuch. Think where we're going is a 19th century stable, so perhaps not so atmospheric! Ah I see, hadn't really thought about it. I suppose I will be self concious but well, will give it at go I guess or see how I feel on the day as it's a fiver extra (which is a bloody cheek) or more likely see how stupid everyones looks first |

The VR part was the only bit I enjoyed It was only £3 extra at that one and even though it was short (about 10-15 minutes) it felt worth it, and I would have happily paid an extra £5 for it. The main ticket being £9-10 is what felt like a rip off. I would go for the VR anyway if you're already there - you're just sat in a chair fixed to the floor and the headset is attached from above, so it's not like you're at risk of bumping into anyone or looking stupid, you just sit there looking around alongside others doing the same. |

Re: Random Questions (3)
^ Thanks Jen
Yeah alot of the reviews about the London one did say much the same. that it was poor quality and over priced (it's much more expensive - my ticket was £22.50 on a cheap monday slot plus you have to pay an extra fiver for the VR). I guess I'll have to see what i think but yeah I agree the best way to experience his art is too see his actual paintings. lol. I will try the VR part. It does sound/look good. |
