    Well, that was short and sweet.

    The Tattooing of Minors Act 1969 makes it illegal for anyone to tattoo you if you are under the age of 18 - although the offence is with the person who carries out the procedure, rather than the person who asks for the tattoo. New guidelines suggest that a tattoo artist should ask to see proof of age and record this before agreeing to tattoo you.

    Erm, Kirk in the diner telling every one he had a girlfriend and Lorelai fluttering her eyelids at him. There were a few other lines, but I can't remember as I was a little stoned at the time. Thought to self: Perhaps that had something to do with my laughing...mmmm.

    Do you remember the episode he is in a steam room?
    He has one of the oddest bodies I know of.
