Their golf banter on Sky after the match was actually quite funny. Well it made me laugh anyway.

Yeah true. I sometimes only get an hour in an evening though. If you have a full evening then you'll complete a patrol with time compression on although anything over x256 and the planes will get you later in the war.

1946 is out now so get that instead. But again it's a sim not a shoot 'em up. It is however an immense game if you bother to learn to fly the planes.

Silent Hunter 3 is very good if you like historical simulations. You play the role of a U-Boat commander. It does mean hours of sitting around not doing a great deal so if you aren't into that kind of thing then don't buy it as a single patrol can take two ro three evenings. If you are then it's an amazing game - great graphics, good strategic gameplay, superb immersion and it helps you to understand that theatre of war as it strives for a certain degree of historical accuracy. Also there is a good community over at subsim.com that have provided some good mods for the game that take it even further.

Microsoft Combat Flight Simulator 3 if you want to shoot things and not worry about having to fly properly. IL2 (1946) if you want the most realistic flight sim out there, but it is a simulation so it may not be your thing. Silent Hunter 3 (Although 4 is coming out soon) for the submarine stuff, but again it's a sim, not a shoot 'em up.

Havana is ace. Wonder round the streets, have a mojito listening to some live music, have some cheap food in a restaurant with chickens running round your feet. Or get a coconut taxi thing up to the posh hotel for a spot of colonial cocktails. And ofcourse wonder round the cigar factory. Outside Havana most people tend to head for the pre booked Tourist zones which whilst having quite beautiful beaches are a bit strange as the locals aren't really allowed to interact with you a great deal. If you can try to wonder off the beaten path - when I did everyone was pretty friendly. The only word of warning is pretty much everything is a scam from cigars to baby milk. Trying to get cash out of tourists seems to be the national sport so keep the coins handy.

Erm... I'm assuming that's his mum behind him. Now I'm no expert, but I would hazard a guess that he's not the only lard bucket in the family.

Fuck 'em. We don't have to explain anything to those jealous cnuts.

I noticed in this thread that Morgan is involved in the consortium. Is that right ? Where did you read it ? (I'm playing catch up). ..... if Morgan is involved is it more or less reassuring ?

Oh joy, groundshare here we come.

'kin 'ell, what a bint ! Bet her wedding was a barrel of laughs.

Surely it's a case of some members of the board realising they will get more cash out of the Gillette deal, is it not ?

Apologies if this has been posted already - I couldn't see it anywhere. Anyway if you haven't heard it, then it's ace. http://www.filecabi.net/video/radio-dumper.html

Did you ? If you did then did you stick around to watch the remainder of the game?

Another positive - You didn't have someone stumble into you and puke over your head last night in the pub while watching the game. I did and I don't recommend the experience.

1: They will cost a load of money that could be better spent elsewhere. 2: They won't prevent fraud. 3: They won't prevent terrorism. 4: We already have passports, which are cheaper. 5: The data will be incorrect. 6: The data will be maintained by easily bribeable staff. Worried about your credit card data? Why do you think this will be safe? 7: If in the future the govt should become extremist, identity cards are the best way in which to control the population. 8: We used to have identity cards, but Winston Churchill scrapped them. Therefore as there are no benefits to introducing the card, why give the government a tool to control the population for it's benefit at great expense to the taxpayer ?

lol - when the people who supported this scheme go to be fingerprinted and interviewed, do you think it will occur to them they made the wrong choice? Idiots.

hehe - That's certainly the view the Iranian President has, but he's missing the point. Europe does value the sanctity of freedom of speech - noteably you can discuss the Holocaust in Britain and many other places in Europe. All that this has highlighted is that Germany, Austria and France (and any others where the discussion is illegal) need to repeal their old laws.

No, what he is saying is that the Iranian president has staged the conference to highlight the fact that in Europe you cannot talk about the holocaust because it is illegal to do so, but you can print cartoons that are knowingly offensive to Muslims. They are not seeking to cast doubt, their aim is to highlight the double standard in Europes claim that it is a protector of free speech and to question why that double standard exists.

Thats true, although the laws preventing freedom of speech about the holocaust are old and were brought in to help prevent Nazism regaining a foothold in Germany. I agree though that this conference has highlighted that there is a double standard and that the laws preventing the freedom of speech of the holocaust should be removed.

Irving's book uses selective evidence. He fails to supply evidence which as an historian he knows exists because he knows it detracts from his argument. What this Holocaust conference is doing however is highlighting the point that it is illegal to speak against the subject in a number of European Countries. The point being that Europe sells freedom of speech to the world, yet uses it selectively at home. The Iranian leader argues that Europe allows pictures that offend Muslims in the name of free speech, yet we do not allow speech against the Holocaust because it is offensive to Jews. You have to conclude he has a point.

He is a Sith Lord. Fact.

The problem was that Arsenal had far too much time in the middle of the park that allowed them to play their normal game, which is why were were really missing Momo as he'd have broken up their play. Zendens distribution wasn't bad, but he didn't prevent Arsenal doing anything which for me is why the manger got it wrong yesterday. We didn't control the midfield.

Personally I'm glad that he's concerned about his performance so far. I'd be worried if he were content. He needs to get a season under his belt before he's written off.

And then one day we'll all be forced to have them. Keep it very simple by scrapping the idea completely and use the money that would be wasted on building the IT system to better use.
