Use the sonic screwdriver in your acoustic toolset.

Actually I was thinking about the hopelessness inherent in my view of a bush of yellow roses under a streetlight. They're evolved and chosen to look pretty in the sun, so at night there's nothing around of the slightest interest to me. Beauty itself has left the world. Then I noticed a could make a pun.

Please help, is Thunderbirds based on the TV show with the crappy puppets and shitty stories?

Yes. It has the same characters, but uses human actors instead of overt puppetry.

Please don't smash the glass, it's really annoying when people do that.

Phone the advertiser up and request one. A lot of the time they'll give you one if you ask nicely.

kick against the the sides of the glass at the height of your knee (+-).

Alternatively, you can get them from the cinema.

They're usually bigger (or smaller, they come in different sizes).

The cinemas I've worked at often auction them off at certain points in the year, as they have no use for them once the films have been and gone. The money goes to charity. Some just give them away.

Go to your local cinema and ask about it. I remember I came home with about 20 huge posters when I was 15 or so, and working in the Odeon

. If they don't sell at auction they're up for grabs.

they're always getting nicked in student areas. with a screwdriver you can lever open the side and slide out the poster.
BTW it's not glass - it's plastic so it won't shatter.

There's this shop in Camden next to Warren Street Station that has all the posters you need whether it's films, games, music, etc.

Isn't it "nick", not "knick" ?

KaneED · 20 Jul 2004, 15:22

Yeah it is nick. Well done Tomkat, you had a good education.

Ask the people at Blockbuster if you can have their huge wall display after it comes out for rent - or ask the theater that's advertising it if you can have it when they're done.
They just throw them away anyways...
