There's so much to laugh at in there,
I don't know what's more funny, the fact that Darth Vader drinks wine by the box or that

Quote:

that the pair believe "very strongly in the church and their religion"

Nice one Rob.

The Bin Bag Man Captains a Wheelie Bin and cannot be trusted!!!

During the last Census in New Zealand the Jedi Religion was not recognized, though Scientology,
Satanism and Wican were quite acceptable Faiths ... along with Christianity, Buddism and of course
the Religion no one can utter a word against for fear of becoming another Salmen Rushdie or Danish Cartoonist.

I just knew this sort of thing would happen ... just like the great (yawn)
Religions on Earth that will never get along, it has now spread to those of other Galaxies.
I fear for the Flatheads in the Gamma Quadrant

*salute*

What I want to know is this: the report stated

Quote:

The court heard he has a "chronic alcohol problem" and had drunk the best part of a 10 litre box of wine.

Now here in the UK (where this happened) boxes of wine come in three litre boxes (four bottles). I've never seen a ten litre box. And how could anyone drink that much - that's 130 units of alcohol! I don't think you would be able to manually focus your camera after imbibing that much?

VINOTAINER 10 LITRE only £8.45 [YHB4154/0100] from the UK's premier homebrew supplier

You can get them, but as you say, it does seem rather a lot.
I think I'd struggle to consume 10 litres of water at one sitting...

Footage now available of the Darth death scene (thank you BBC, we salute you) - not for the faint-hearted!

EDIT: Sorry, didn't realize that when BBC update their pages it automatically includes the film link in the original posting I made. It's the same film clip.
