A Time Line Of Milk:

Since the dawn of time until the eighties, the glass bottle with a one-use lid reigned supreme.

It was a simpler time, when a man in a flatcap would leave milk on your doorstep and you didn't have to worry about the local kids either stealing it to buy crack, or putting meth in it.

Up till the early nineties, we dealt with cartons

It was a bleak time and the best we could hope for was some kind of handy built-in top to try and mitigate the inevitable mess.

And then, people realised that tops should screw, and the plastic bottle was born

The world became a better place, but soon it became clear this was incredibly wasteful. Largely due to local councils and their confusing rules for recycling milk bottles, which often ended in angry bin men strewing them across the road each Wednesday morn.

Welcome to the future!

And then you flood your whole damn kitchen with it.

Also, it is not for people who desire anything other than semi-skimmed, because you simply can't buy it in bags.

    I don't drink milk, so it's none of my business really, but that looks really annoying to store / pour out of.

    I'll be honest - I prefer cartons with screwtops.

    I may be slightly biased as my father works for a major carton-producing company.

    Yeah. Well they were giving them out free when they first launched the stuff. I'm led to believe that it's also how they have rolled in Australia for some years now.

    I'd buy bag milk if it was cheaper.

    But I'd buy anything if it was cheaper for I am poor.

    It's about 10% cheaper. The problem being only Sainsbury's sell it, so I can't pop to the local Tesco Metro if I run out of milk. It's been really successful for forcing me into brand loyalty.

    You know, for a disaster movie with religious overtones - the twist in Knowing was surprisingly refreshing.

    Although seriously
    Those alien were dickhead eugenecist jerks, who probably killed a bunch of people to make sure their "prophecy" came true.

    That was probably one of the three worst films I saw last year. Seriously poorly done in almost every way that matters. And it took itself with such self-aggrandised importance.

    I saw an ALIENS! film I'd never heard of advertised on a bus the other day. I do not remember the title, but the tagline was about not looking up.

    Ah, Skyline. The trailer looks vaguely interesting. The acting looks abysmal, but I don't watch a movie with aliens blowing shit up for the acting.

    I've never been sure why we had to specify chat as [chat]. It's not like it's a bbcode tag. It looked lonely without any though, so he got some fancy curly ones.

    I think it's to distinguish the chat title from other threads


    which is often very helpful


    I assume that's the idea behind all bracketed titles
