I accept the peace offering with all appropriate grace. What a lovely sock sculpture. Is it possible we didn't all already know what a Gggragaaafaaaf was?

Is that a 'High caste' one or a lower caste one?

If it is solid, it may be a plaster cast one.

A large number one made out of cast plaster? Cool.

I've never thought plaster acted very well, myself. Far too rigidly set.

But it can serve as the solid base to a performance.

I've heard of wooden actors, and seen a fair few, but a plaster cast of actors that takes it way further. Does that come into the it's "so bad, that it might be worth watching"

I might just agree with you Skids...

Was about to attempt comedic addition then realised it was 'plaster cast' as in broken leg, not 'plastered cast' as in almost any soapie.

So if a person in a soapie has a broken leg what would that make them ? A plastered plastered cast member?

I believe the soap acts as a release agent for the plaster (depends on the chemical type though). Are actors potassium based or sodium based?

'de' based

Not Cynthia? Is she still doing her thing?

<enjoys flashbacks to the 70's>

Oh yes. Apparently she never moved on, lol.
There was a doco on her not long ago, and I thought to myself "Hang on, nearly every hen's night involves this now, it's not shocking anymore. Get over it.*"
Then I went off and watched Death Note.

If you're John McCain, then nothing is normal.

Where did Gordon Brown go?

Flurgle! Has he vanished? Last time I checked he was still taking credit for saving the financial systems of Europe!

E.

is that 'systems' as in some organised routine, or 'cisterns' as in places where excess of liquid items are kept?

Nah, that's systems as in the banks making us think they're more organised and sensible than they really are.

Cisterns seems apt, but given that the lack of liquidity is the problem then maybe not.
