This thread examines the important question of which items you consider it vital for a fast food restaurant to provide for free. Assume for the sake of the poll that you would avoid visiting a restaurant which does not offer the choices you selected for free.

NB: Important! Please read the three edits at the bottom of the post before voting! I know there have been lots of threads about Turkey and the EU in the past, seeing as it is such a hot topic, but I think this thread has its justification because I may be able to shed some new light from a...

I just slouced into my comfy chair in front of my PC, opened up CFC and got my McDonald's lunch out of its bag. Well lo and behold! once again I've got medium fries even though I ordered large ones. This has probably happened to me about a dozen times, and it is no longer funny or just a minor...

Please post your favourite ever football goals here (just link to the youtube videos). I have watched a lot of youtube football videos, but I've never seen anything like this goal by Clarence Seedorf before. Most shots from that distance are lobs over the keeper and dip before they hit the net...

This thread is concerned with how the EU should handle the four EFTA states, Norway, Switzerland, Liechtenstein and Iceland. I think their integration into the EU should ultimately happen, and nobody would deny that they meet all the crieteria and are culturally an integral part of Europe...

Has anyone here ever been on a blind date? I recently went on one, which was organised by the university RAG committee, a charity organisation, where you had to pay 5 pounds to be set up with a blind date. I handed my form in late, so they only had attached girls left who were just looking for...

This is a thread similar to the Members' Photo thread, in that it is meant for people to post videos of themselves (please post only videos of yourselves, not of other people). It could either be a video of you doing something funny or interesting (playing football or playing music) or just a...

I recently noticed that some pictures (which I uploaded to CFC) I posted in threads a while ago have now disappeared. However, there seems to be no general pattern, as the odd picture will be missing here or there. Why is this? Do pictures with a certain age get deleted at random?

Post collages you made yourself here. My first one is one depicting my favourite greatest Germans. Feel free to be inspired and post your own similar ones. EDIT: First one to name all the guys in this collage gets some virtual brownie points from me.

What are the strangest and funniest placest you have ever peed? Besides the obvious places like in your nappies and in your bed when you were a kid, of course. I've urinated out of countless windows, but the best was probably when I weed into my father's bed. I was 13 at the time, and pretty...

Everyone takes drugs, there's no denying it. Some of us more than others, it must be admitted, but we all do them. Please vote for all the above drugs which you consume on a regular basis (at least once a week, say). Please note: Theobromine is found in the cocoa plant, and hence is contained in...

I would like to suggest a new feature for the buddy list. If it wouldn't cause too much trouble to implement, I think it would be a useful feature. The green light in the buddy list will always go on when one of your buddies are online. If they happen to be using invisible mode however, you...

What's the most physically demanding sport you play / have played, i.e. which requires the most strength and fitness? I play football, tennis, table tennis, badminton and volleyball, and badminton is easily the toughest. Winning a point requires a lot of running about, you're moving almost...

Recently there were several justified complaints that there is not enough discussion on philosophy in these forums, so I've decided to post an essay on Epicureanism which I wrote half a year or so ago. The original essay question was: "In what ways can the Epicurean views on the universe, the...

I've been challenged by several fellow students to a bet I'm not sure whether I should accept. It involves, as the title states, me drinking 5 bottles of 0.75 l of wine, 12.0% alcohol, in 4.5 hours, without being sick. I'm allowed to pee, eat and drink other things (water). I'm being offered a...

Playing C3C 1.22 I have encountered a bug which I haven't ever heard of anyone encountering. I'd built the Statue of Zeus in my only city (this was a One City Challenge) and later on (before Metallurgy!) I built the Knight's Templar. So now I should be getting an Ancient Cavalry and an Crusader...

I'm granting you all the priviledge of viewing the latest essay which I have churned out, this time about the Athenian Empire of the 5th century BC. All dates are given in BC unless otherwise stated. Most citiations from ancient authors are referenced to the place you'll find it in their works...

A fellow poster recently once again encouraged me to post one of my essays here, so I will oblige him and all others who are interested. It's not the best essay, but it should be worth a quick read. Given the recent discussion we had about what makes good history, and how much we can believe...

When posting a quick reply, I have found that the postcount on the new post displays the current count, while the previous posts still display the old postcount. Anyone else experiencing this? Here's a screenshot to illustrate the problem:

Foreword After the positive feedback for the article I posted here earlier on the outbreak of the Second Punic War, I've decided to post another one of my essays. As some of you may know, I'm now studying Classics at Cambridge, which involves writing an essay a week and lots of language work...
