I need cheering up today. What better way to do so than to think of all the good things in life... For example, dogs. I love dogs. :adore: I love the way they scamper around, gaze up at you with their eyes, munch away at their food with delight, the way they bark and sing and growl, and the...

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-20657939 Just heard about it this lunchtime. One of my absolute idols of science broadcasting. His TV appearances and his show "The Sky At Night," one of the longest-running TV shows in the world, helped continue my interest in amateur astronomy as a child, and...

You might think that this week's theme has something to do with a certain multi-million dollar popularity contest going on in America right now. I couldn't possibly comment. :evil: Anyway. The theme this time is Politics - so it can be fictional politicians and leaders, fictional political...

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-20032882 We never really grew up with Ceefax, or other teletext services. It was all the cool kids with their remote control-ready TVs with Fastext buttons that had it. All we had to make do was to get up early in the morning to watch Ceefax AM accompanied by the...

OK, so here are 9 things that make some of the Misc. posters smile: Which THREE of these make YOU smile?

This week's avatar contest is based on just one simple question: What in your opinion puts a smile on your face? It can be anything: a person (real-life or fictional), an object, a place, a favourite pet, favourite meal, favourite movie / TV show / book, favourite game of any type, an event, a...

OK then. Time to choose your three favourite Davids:

Quite simple, this week. The theme is avatars of people called David (or Dave, Dafydd, Dawud, etc.) - given name (as they are most familiarly known) or last name are allowed. Real-life examples only, please - no fictional Davids or Daves, so for example you can have David Copperfield the...

Just being reported now by BBC (from Reuters) and NBC and Channel 4 (heard via Twitter). http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-19381098 :(

Thanks again to all those who voted last time. :) With the Olympic Games, the Diamond Jubilee, and various other real life events of pomp and circumstance going on of late, I thought an avatar contest centred around all sorts of rituals and ceremonies would be a good idea. Christenings...

It's time we wheeled this thing out once again: the fun and entertaining test to see where in the Inferno of Dante Alighieri's The Divine Comedy you will end up. The last time it was run, it took place in this thread way back in the dim and distant 2009...

Great news: The Stone Roses to reunite for a new tour: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-15348374 All good stuff. Hopefully this reunion will be more like Take That's and less like the Spice Girls'. :bolian: Just when I thought the world of pop music couldn't get better, this...

When I pitched the title of this week's contest to some people a while back, it seemed pretty well received, so I'll run with it this time. This week we ARE at home to Mr. (and Mrs!) Grumpy: avatars for this contest are all about those grumpy, curmudgeonly, glum, moody and gruff characters...

With the forthcoming release of his latest film, The Adventures of Tintin, I think it's about time that the Avatar Contests paid tribute to Steven Spielberg, a name synonymous with blockbuster cinema during the last 40 years, and who has also made a good number of iconic sci-fi and fantasy...
