    Default No rabbits in Portland

    http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/dorset/4318710.stm

    So, how much is a train ticket to Portland and how many times can I say "rabbit" before getting kicked out.

    I wouldn't do that if I were you. They can be very rough down there in Dorset, a mere scouser wouldn't stand a chance. They get some cream teas inside them and then...

    It is brilliantly eccentric though. I especially like the fact that its a wallace and Gromit film that has brought this to the world's attention.

    I have a house in Weymouth, which is just a couple of miles away. Don't worry Martinus, the train ends in Weymouth, where there aren't any quarries to worry about collapsing. However, if you do say rabbit too many times in Portland, they might tie up and leave you in a quarry and letting loose a few rabbits to make some burrows. After that I think you will truly understand the weight of St. Paul's Cathedral.

    Nice to see that there are some people as superstitious as the Scots...

    If they do go to see the film, and the cinema collapses on them and kills them because rabbits have eaten the foundations, then they are going to have been right all along, aren't they? Still dead, of course, but right.

    Well it wouldn't be fun to have a quarry fall on you... but surely with proper mining techniques an open cut mine will not collapse because of rabbits.

    Poor engineering because of poor education ends with stupid superstitions.

    Being afraid of a landslide is one thing, being to scared to name the cause of it is pathetic (as in sad).

    I can not believe how silly this is. It's too funny to laugh.
