I'm gonna ask. Why the fuck is it called a plastic brick when it's made out of, well, brick?

It refers to the plastic qualities of the clay used in making the brick. (Capable of being shaped or formed). This rather than the shale type brick for which the raw materials are less flexible.

I see. I knew it would be boring, but I didn't think it would be that boring.

Just kidding. I have been drinking a little, but I'm not at AndyJ levels of honesty and offensiveness yet.

I actually found that quite interesting. They could have used a better word than plastic though, surely?

Nice for for asking the question Gibbo saved me typing it, but then again, by the time I have written this I could have probably asked the question, so i havent really gained anything.

Cheers for nothing then.

Hahaha im on the juice too.
