King Pitcos Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 If it's illegal-but-nobody-cares, that's no good to me. If something can legally be sold online and/or at reasonably sized legitimate gigs legally, that's grand. If not, I'd rather bite the bullet and get the certification. Â Another question, this one best for Ronnie (where IS he?)... Why is "treated" a word and "eated" isn't? Why "ate" and not "trate"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Tommy! Posted January 16, 2015 Paid Members Share Posted January 16, 2015 Some of my old tapes are rated "E" or exempt from cerification, what was the deal with that? I'm sure wrestlemania 14 is, and a few other wwf vhs tapes and some old commercially released motorsport tapes. Â Also Les Dennis just said the line "I'm not good with the downs". Its not a question, I just wanted to share. Â EDIT: On the eat / treat thing isn't it where the root comes from, as our language draws on Latin, German, French and Scandinavian languages and we draw on them in different ways as they moved into language. Isn't that part of how we end up with a name for an animal and a different for it as food for some animals and not others, like cow/beef against chicken. Â I'm probably talking total grot here to be honest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members Tommy! Posted January 16, 2015 Paid Members Share Posted January 16, 2015 Quite. On what grounds can the bbfc claim items are, or were, exempt from classification. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Awards Moderator Onyx2 Posted January 16, 2015 Awards Moderator Share Posted January 16, 2015 Live performances of sport are exempt. Older WWF videos were slid into that category by the canny Silver Vision chairman until BBFC got wise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â The Video Recordings Act 1984 (VRA) makes it illegal to supply any video or DVD within the UK which has not been age rated by the BBFC. There are some exceptions to this (for example, educational works or works predominantly concerned with sport, religion and music) but all feature films and TV programmes must be age rated.

Summerslam 1988 got hit with a "15" though, which I imagine, was for Brutus getting the spurs (n. Spurs) across the forehead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ian 86 Posted January 20, 2015 Share Posted January 20, 2015 Calling IT people... Â I'm writing an employee communication email at work and it's quite long. Â To make it shorter I'd like to insert a drop down box where if clicked on it reveals the otherwise hidden content. A bit like the spoiler tag on here. Â Does anyone know if this is possible and how I do it? Â Please? Â I'm using Outlook 2013 if that makes a difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Sergio Mendacious Posted January 20, 2015 Paid Members Share Posted January 20, 2015 You answered your own question — make it as a spoiler here, and then link your workmates to that post. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Awards Moderator Onyx2 Posted January 20, 2015 Awards Moderator Share Posted January 20, 2015 It is possible but would take longer than going round and telling everyone face to face. Can't you link to a doc on your internal network that has the extra detail? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian 86 Posted January 20, 2015 Share Posted January 20, 2015 Bill - im not sure that'd would go down to well! Â Onyx - that was my suggestion but my manager is adamant that the drop down is realistic (bear in mind this is a guy that asked if Excel can take numbers away as well as add them up....) Â Thanks for the input though, really appreciate it. I tried Google and couldn't find much so tried here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Awards Moderator Onyx2 Posted January 20, 2015 Awards Moderator Share Posted January 20, 2015 Since you asked: http://superuser.com/questions/297788/outlook-expand-bullet-point-to-show-more-text  Basically, no. As an ex-Microsoft trainer I'd recommend creating a doc on your network and linking there.  Edit: I just remembered it was possible to do this in Lotus Notes, so he could have seen it before.

Paid Members gmoney Posted January 21, 2015 Paid Members Share Posted January 21, 2015 Sticking fake certs on films is an art — there were definitely films released in the US where they were given a fake X certificate, to make them seem edgier.  This was rife because the MPAA somewhat short sightedly never copyrighted the X rating, so anyone could slap it on their porno without actually bothering to get it certificated. It's one of the reasons it adopted the NC-17 rating.  Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
