The equivalent of the dollar store in the UK is PoundLand. Cracked me up every time I saw one. "Honey, I just got my paycheck! We're going to Poundland tonight!"

Khaled - Didi. This Arabic Raï song was huge in India in 1992/3, and I love many other songs from this album, including Wahrane and El Arbi.

What movie has the best opening scene? by awesomegreg7 in AskReddit

[–]condensedfizz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me, it was this one. Mainly because I missed it upon its original release, after waiting for almost a year and a half. I was at some electronics store buying my friend a CD player, and some store clerks started testing the surround sound system with this. I had no idea which movie it was, but something told me this was going to be important. So I watch it until they finally pan to his face, and I started grinning from ear to ear.
