  1. I quite like this concept! Just needs some tweaking! (i) shit font (ii) no space for more stars
  2. it's the hope that gets you in the end...
  3. Manor have merc engines next yr, could allow them to genuinely challenge midfield, and if HAAS manage to integrate correctly with Ferarri's help, it should make things much more competitive next year
  4. e.g., passed these upstanding citizens on my run last night. "I do feel safer here with all these people who have guns," Tishhouse said. "Nobody would approach us." http://www.mlive.com/news/ann-arbor/index.ssf/2015/09/michigan_open_carry_brings_the.html#incart_m-rpt-2
  5. Huge drug problem in Chicago right now, with Heroin making a particularly nasty comeback. It's the primary Mexican/SA distribution center for the entire midwest. Mix this in with the insane opiod abuse and meth/hash etc. and the amount of $$ to be made are frightening. It's really tough to see anything happening over here. When those kids were executed in Sandy Hook and absolutely nothing was done about it...
  6. It's a little more nuanced than the PR spin. They have not found flowing water! Science guy talks to media relations guy who then creates article for the general public, which all to often means things get lost in translation, and or NASA has a tendency to big up things... it's cool, but hold your horses. They have found salts that appear to be linked to the creation dynamically changing channels in the soil on a seasonal basis, which are consistent with originating in a fluid flow, most likely waterish. Now, the question is where does the water come from (i) sub surface ice melting seasonally or (ii) condensing in some fashion from the atmosphere seasonally. Fun times ahead!
  7. Fair enough choice from him as the only reason he was playing for Ire was his parents pushing him as a young un. At least we get a larger bag of money when he moves now. How long before the first kiss&tell in the sun? Oh, and I'll now boo and laugh my ass off at you a few times year Jack!

    Running

    TomTom are launching a new version of their runner cardio soon (adding mp3 player w/ bt streaming), so keep an eye out for the current version going on sale. I have it and love it, does gps, time and HR which is all I'm interested in. Otherwise check out dcrainmaker's website, he has a really good and honest review section on gps watches so you'll know which ones to avoid at least!
  9. Jeremy Kyle having a shit day... he needs a biographic show methinks! "Kyle and Carla Germaine met when she entered a competition to marry a stranger on a Birmingham radio station, where Kyle was working." http://www.msn.com/en-ie/entertainment/celebrity/jeremy-kyle-splits-from-wife-after-13-years/ss-BBlnDLW?ocid=mailsignoutmd
  10. I'm interested in Britain's benefits system. I worked for the old DSS at a JobCentre in London for a while before I started in the newspapers in London, and it always struck me as rather benign compared to the States' "safety net", which is far different and much much less generous. But I definitely saw a darker side in the UK, too -- an entrenched benefits subculture in north London, and it wasn't pretty -- yet it somehow seemed happier to me than the US version. There WAS a lot of mental illness, substance abuse, and a seemingly internalised lack of ambition -- people who maybe once had a desire to work but lacked self-belief to such an extent they would continually shoot themselves in the foot when on the verge of a better life. Another dimension in the UK are vestiges and shadows of the old class system. It may be mostly gone in name, but it persists within the English mind, and it really must be smashed forever. [Add lots of guns and racism, and an even deeper hopelessness, and you get the US version, by the way.] I like Mooney's point but you gotta have those healthy peers do, and where do they come from? There are class systems everywhere. It's simply propaganda telling us we're all equal and in the same club that has us believe that there is none, for example, in the US and it's almost gone from the UK, if we could just get rid of Lord & Lady rascals.
  11. Usually the Americans aren't so gracious towards the heads of criminal organisations. birds of a feather...
  12. oh looky here, how very surprising... "Leaked documents seen by the Guardian show the three countries lobbied the European commission to keep loopholes in car tests that would increase real world carbon dioxide emissions by 14% above those claimed." That would be blighty, frogland and ze germans! http://www.theguardian.com/environment/2015/sep/24/uk-france-and-germany-lobbied-for-flawed-car-emissions-tests-documents-reveal It appears rules are only for us regular folk... same as it ever was!
  13. I bet there are some pool fans slapping themselves on the back now, 'cause they can just sense a compliment... though their two braincells have difficulty with sarcasm
  14. and all the big boys got handy enough draws too, looks like it's gonna be very hard to win this year!
  15. Could be the sack for Brenda if we get a result, huge pressure on them and looks like the crowd are gonna be all over Rodgers too
  16. I wouldn't crow too much... our upcoming fixture list is a little horrific too ohh, and ahahahahahahaha
  17. What about the mpg rating on cars versus the real world. Especially with regards to the monstrous things they drive over here, this kind of fudging is endemic to this industry. With all the electronics and engine mapping tech available these days, I suspect that every company (w/ complicit regulators) is up to this to some degree.
  18. really great to see... now push on from here young man!
  19. per bbc text "Why would you not cross the ball in when you have someone like Rudy Gestede up front? Villa's tactics have been odd. He is unbeatable at times, but Villa have been loathe to play to his strengths." Tim??
  20. Wonder where Gabby is sleeping tonight? He'll be exhausted after all this headless chicken crap.
