No, not a who's-who of the .org's finest (wouldn't that be fun?) but a review of the posters you may have hanging in your home.

Toboggan Towers sports large versions of....

Gibson as William Wallace in Braveheart
The Levellers - famous DHSS poster from the 90's
Brandon Lee as 'Il Corvo' - Italian poster for the movie 'The Crow'

A couple of big blow ups of me and Mrs.T in bygone biker days...
and this one which should arrive soon. I like it so much it's inspired this wee thread & I've just ordered one !

that is a striking photograph. He was on the 'Discovery' earlier wasn't he?
Had to be sent home unwell. We saw his 'cabin' such as it was t'other week. We have the BBC film 'Shackleton' with Kenneth Branagh - it's time it had another airing.

My house is near wall-papered in posters! We have about 5 lord of the rings posters, a couple are limited edition. A highlander poster (that guy gives me the creeps) several Muse posters, several Halo 1,2 and 3 posters.

Unfortunately for some reason im not allowed my other posters up, cant see why though, 3 Jake Gyllenhaal, Orlando Bloom, Johnny Depp, 2 falloutboy posters.

Also dotted around the walls is mine and my OH's art work. Got to show off our talent somewhere! Might aswell be here!

We await the 'Keep Calm and Carry On' variety any day now.
Given recent events it could serve us well.

British grit and pluck required.

The Athena poster of the girl on the tennis court has to be one of the all-time greats.
