It was freaky weird. Especially Bam Bam. They even dubbed Bam Bam to sound more german, even though he still said "Bam bam!"

Absolutely mental.

I saw Deliverance dubbed in German when I was on holiday in Switzerland.
The "squeel like a piggy" scene is vastly more disturbing in German.

The Exorcist dubbed in Italian is about 100 times scarier.

Christalmighty.

It always amazes me that they still seem to get people to stop and talk to them. I would expect to see more of them lying bleeding and unconscious. I can't be the only one doing it?

Maybe we should start a movement of guiding them towards obstacles and making them hit the deck - if we each tell everyone we know to start doing the same, maybe they'll stop? Worth a try - and good for a laugh

Not as scary as the Exorcist being read by Christopher Lee (as an audiobook of course).

It is one of the best things ever though.

I found the both the movie and the book terrifying, I don't know if I would sleep properly listening to Christopher Lee quote lines like "Do you know what she did, your cunting daughter" at me.

Best job I've ever had, really worthwhile. Only been doing it proper for 3 weeks after doing a bit of it on the side from my permanent post for 2 years. The bit on the side became the full-time job at the start of the month and it's starting to scare me how everything seems to be falling into my lap lately. Would recommend support work to anyone.

Kudos to you sir.

I was going to say, that didn't sound like a great job, but a fucking difficult one. Still, good on you if you enjoy it.

I think if I was so bold as to ask strangers for money, I'd at least try and remember a face to avoid the answer of "Don't know where you can eat. Don't have any money to give you" which is the answer he got on the third time of asking.

Maybe I should have given him some directions that would have led him to the Job Centre.

That same guy approached me last Wednesday at a bus stop, asking about where he could get a meal. I pointed him in the direction of the Salvation Army, but he said he was too late for that. He then proceeded to ask if I could spare any change- I genuinely couldn't as I needed what I had for the bus. He replied that anything at all would be greatly appreciated, so I handed him a 10p from the bottom of my jean pocket. This was met with total disgust- "IS THIS REALLY ALL YOU CAN FUCKING SPARE?" to which I made a cheeky remark about the credit crunch. He then said something about it not even being worth taking from me, so I asked for it back. He then insulted me further whilst turning to the person waiting next to me TO PULL THE SAME ROUTINE AGAIN. I've since heard he's quite well known for this.

The most annoying part was when I realised I actually needed that 10p to get on the bus. Rant over.
