OK it is very likely that this video will get killed by the Lucas Corporation some time soon but while it lasts it is pretty funny. This YouTube user has gone out of their way to translate that lovable little droid from Star Wars. My particular favorite is the way that R2-D2 treats Jar Jar Binks. That flopsy eared muppet get short shrift from the little fella.
Anyway enjoy it while you can.

Sorry but this just cracked me up:
Norma Woods, a cleaner, had come in for hair straighteners but they didn’t have any so she bought two irons instead for £3.98 each. “I reckon I have saved a pound,” she said. “I am really sad about Woolies going. There used to be a shop near where I lived as a kid and I used to go in and nick sweets because I thought the pic’n'mix was free.
I now have a mental image of Norma attempting to straighten her hair with two irons.
It is from this story in the Guardian. It is quite a sad tale. Where am I going to nick my pick ‘n’ pix from now? http://www.guardian.co.uk/business/2008/dec/12/woolworths-street-retailers
I remember as a boy being caught pinching pick ‘n’ mix from Woolies by my Mother. She frog marched us all back to the store and made us give the 2 or 3 sweets back and apologise to the staff. I valuable lesson learned. Thank you Woollies. You helped my development as a human being.
