I'm a bit obsessed with sticking stuff on my fridge.



Does anyone else have an interestingly-decorated fridge or other kitchen appliance that they'd like to share?

Is that really yours Jim? It's incredible!
Looks like a fake showroom fridge from an alternative reality IKEA in the early 90s.

Pff, that's only one side of it. (You, Heather and Indra are on another side). And prizes may be up for grabs - prizes of no value, that is - for anyone who can identify everything in the picture.

This is half of another side (had to move some spice racks to get it all in, but I think the two seconds of effort was worth it:

Amazing! There we actually are! Will post a picture of ours tonight or tomorrow. Top thread.

Just feel I need to say Jim - stellar work on C4C recently. You're almost single-handedly responsible for my enjoyment of the forums at the moment. Would you like to put this sudden flurry of awesome activity down to any contributing circumstances in particular or is it merely your time to shine?

I do seem to be posting more bollocks than usual, yes. I think I've had a touch of the sun or summat.

Nah, it's just cause I've (posssibly) finally learned to be a bit less uptight. Also, I couldn't have done it without my political wife, Toby, who deserves at least some of the credit.

I was wondering if you'd been thrown out of the sanctum so had to post in the old plebs' forum instead.

Still carrying that old chip on your shoulder eh?

Saw the bottom right of the second photo and my initial thoughts were:

1. Funny.
2. Meh.
3. Leftie rubbish.

Praise from Caesar indeed!

Sorry for the double-post but I am at least an equal opportunities offender. You must've missed this:

Here's my fridge. Pretty shit really except for the co:lon thing. It's the only thing that's mine. And I don't think that pizza place exists any more.

Is that Betty Boo on your fridge?

Don't think its her. Just looks a bit like her. Its' a Spanish flamenco dancer.

Don't you mean Betty Boop?

Oh, you mean the guy on the pizza thing. Yeah, that is Betty Boo.

I should have been much clearer, this is all my fault. I meant on Jim's fridge in the OP.

The one with the moustache? That's Bruce Forsyth/Batman you fool. Oh the long green moustache? Yeah, could be.

Jon Corby wrote:Is that Betty Boo on your fridge?

Of course. There are two pictures of Betty Boo, one in her catsuit and long green moustache and the one to the left, where she is dressed as a scientician, in a white coat and with a clipboard. The two pictures contrast the two distinct sides of Betty Boo.

Breaking what was considered a glass ceiling, Betty (real name Alison Clarkson) proved that it was possible for a woman to be both a nuclear physicist by day, while being the purveyor of catchy pop-rap music by night.

Incredible, didn't even notice the second (or is it the first?) picture of Betty (real name Alison Clarkson) on there.

You're so rubbish I bet you can't even name the female Gladiators in the picture (if you can, then name the odd two out).

I used to watch Gladiators so could probably get a few of those.

As for the odd two out, presumably it's whichever two have not yet died from complications from steroid abuse.

You're right, I can't. I believe that's Jet top left. Beyond that I'm struggling. To care.

As you can see, it's a bit feeble compared to the efforts so far. On the side are the Co:Lon fridge magnet and a collection of magnets I've got from 'mystery box' subscriptions (I think they both came from Nerd Block), on the front are a couple of woggles (that are stuck on rather than magnetised, heresy that that is), a fridge magnet depicting the Simpsons wearing Lincoln City's kit (the away kit is a few years old now), a thermometer that got roundly fucked a while back when I accidentally stuck it a radiator and a magnet depicting the numbers from Lost.

The top is where the real action is- a biscuit barrel that's never contained biscuits, a pair of crimping shears, a pebble that's been painted to resemble a cottage and a miniature version of the Holy Grail challenge from Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade. This fridge is about fifteen years old and is badly in need of replacing. Once that happens, I promise the level of shit on it will treble.

Top row, left to right: Jet, Nightshade, Lightning
Bottom row, left to right: Scorpio, Falcon, Panther and (lying down provocatively) Zodiac.

Falcon and Lightning were the odd two out as they were the only two (from this picture, taken around series 2) still active in the final series.

Yeah I remember "Deadly" Nightshade. They might as well have called her Black Death.

She genuinely did have a poisonous vagina.

Not just bad thrush?

Gavin Chipper wrote:Yeah I remember "Deadly" Nightshade. They might as well have called her Black Death.

Nightshade was totally cool. She was actually Judy Simpson, at the time the UK heptathlon record holder. Very tall and rangy and I think at one point she shared the UK high jump record as well.
