Forum rules
At the old Disney Hyperion Studio, the screening room where animators would show animated scenes to Walt for his approval was small, with no ventilation or AC. Not only was it hot, but the animators were nervously awaiting Walt's reaction to their work. Thus, the room became known as the Sweatbox. Even after the Studio moved to Burbank and elegant screening rooms were offered to the staff, the moniker remained.
Now SGT has a sweatbox of our own. This is the place to find and post all entertaining topics such as video links, jokes, games, and the like. A general rule of thumb is that if the thread is meant to be informative (interesting news stories for example), or a topic for discussion (like setting up a park meet) then it should go in the Break Room, but if the intent is to entertain the masses then it's home is The Sweatbox. I'm sure there will be grey areas at times, so if you have doubt as to where a new thread should go, just use your best judgement and the SGT Staff will be glad to move it later if you guessed wrong.

Hmmmm... I took the Eurostar from London to Disneyland Paris and didn't get this treatment at all! :D
But I do have to admit, it's a nice train and a very fast trip. It's sold me on using high speed trains to get around Europe on my next trip.

Re: You just been Ratatouilled!
I agree with EpcotFan, Eurostar is pretty amazing. My favorite moment was when I was standing in the Bistro car, ordering something, and the entire world tipped over so all I could see out the window was ground, and out the other side was sky. That was when I knew we were hauling.
And for those wondering, the tunnel is only about 20 minutes of the trip. An absolutely beautiful trip.

My opinions are mine and mine only. If my opinions are the opinion of others who happen to share whatever my crazy views may be, then fine, but it's not because I represent them in having my opinions. Got it?

Re: You just been Ratatouilled!
I was in London when discussions were still being held to determine if the Chunnel would be built. The evening news was interviewing people on the street to get their opinions. One person interviewed was a priest judging by his clothes. When asked if the Chunnel should be built he emphatically stated no. When asked why, he replied, "The high speed trains will push the smell of garlic through the tunnel."
Don't be fooled by appearances. In Hawaii, some of the most powerful people look like bums and stuntmen.
