Brother Jonathan posted:And here is Prince Charles from the Louis Tussauds House of Wax: Louis Tussards is near me. Creepier than the claustrophobic house of wax is the 'murder dungeon' you're funnelled into after your tour. It's this guy's cellar made up with various reject waxwork figures re-enacting histories most gruesome murders and horror scenes. Even weirder is after that you're forced to exit into this Silent Hill-esque penny arcade where every penny machine is pre 1960's or something. It was deserted and had this creepy as gently caress music playing. Prepare to poo poo yourself with fear, this is a scene from the exorcism.  I went a while back, I hear its closed down now. A loving tragedy if you ask me! Norfolk's greatest attraction by far.

There's a bunch more shots plus a video here: http://www.buzzfeed.com/lukelewis/some-actually-built-the-simpsons-homer-car The guy who made it is also planning on racing it, hence the racing number.

If you have half-empty bottles of wine, you're not drinking enough wine.

^^^ Also this. If your teenagers are that desperate to get a half empty bottle of wine you should probably put the stupid gimmicks away and just loving talk to them.
