Kid, there's hedges in most countries older than New Orleans. Hell, there's plenty in the UK older then the USA.
As others have noted, when the repair bill becomes sensibly expressable as a fraction of a trillion dollars, that's the universe giving you a big bloody hint to go away and play boats somewhere else. Let the place become a museum.
that being a dangerous driving chav-type tends to cause the playing of GTA, not the other way round... Not that I'm thinking that they're looking at this problem from the wrong direction, or anything...
Two years military service doesn't teach you to be an assassin who can kill and leave no trace. It teaches you to run around like a bitch and do pressups like a bitch, but not much else
That's true. But who said they'd use a human? They're an asian tech company, they'll probably just send a Samsung branded assassin-bot...
If nothing else, Aleks was 1/3 of the presenting team of pretty much the only computer games review show I've ever seen that didn't just regurgitate the publisher's fawning blather from the back of the game's box and call it a review - e.g., they called attention to the fact that XBOX halo plays like a giant pile of arse without a mouse/keyboard. If you've never played Halflife, you'll spunk yourself over it, but it's not actually that impressive.
Time to extract your head from your Corrs album ridden middle manager Vauxhall Vectra company car and face facts. 1) It's an astra (2L Turbo thanks - I toast rice-boys at traffic lights) 2)It's populated with the likes of My ruin, Led Zepplin, ELO, Lacuna Coil Wendy Stark and all sorts of other stuff. 3)Middle manager I am not...Astrophysics student, as a matter of fact.
I'll admit I went a bit over the top there, but that rant had been brewing for a year or two, and the opportunity was just ripe for the taking...
Besides, as you pointed out yourself, half of 1's programing is dreck. That's incentive enough to not even bother programming 1 into one of the presets on my radio, when you know that there's always something interesting on 4, and nothing on 2 that'll make you reach for the straight-razor. Also... another genre they're missing: comedy.
Oh... and no matter what you say in Radio 1's defence, they are still guilty as all Hell of loosing Chris Evans on the world, a crime for which there is no possible reprieve. No "Get Out Of Jail Free", Evans is Satan is Grinning Ginger Form. If he'd had the good grace to sink out of the public eye a few years earlier than he did, Billie wouldn't be getting cast for Dr Who...
Oh yeah.... are you an expat, or an extreme-distance teleworker, by the way?
anyway, I'd better post this, before I run out of air mid-rant and suffocate.
the station is the broadcaster of pop music for our sceptered isle Bollocks is it! Radio 1 is the redheaded-inbred-bastard-stepchild of the BBC radio family. Radio 2 OWNS it in every way. 1)Radio 2's management isn't dumb enough to fire the Radio Caroline DJ's Infact, they've picked a few of 'em up over the years. 2)Radio 2's got Steve Wright 3)Radio 2 has managed to retain a single GOOD (i.e. most listened-to) morning presenter(Terry Wogan), unlike the series of gibbering retards that 1 has gone through (Chris Evans etc etc) 4)Radio 1's premier retard, Chris "Chrispy Boils" Moyles is so untalented that no only does he have to surround himself with an entourage of syncophants in order to produce a single show's worth of content, but he's been knows to steal content used by Ian Collins, the Talk Radio presenter, who, coincidentally, happens to be doing his show about the time that Moyles would be going to work. 5)Radio 2 has Waay better content. Aside from a wider range of better music than 1, 2 also has the wonder that is Jammin, It's Been A Bad Week and the like. 6)When I spend all day listening to 2, I don't hear the same song more than once per-presenter, and even then it's "packed" in a wide variety of different stuff. 1 on the other hand, when I have been forced to listen to it, is to repetitive that I could quite literally set my clock by it - Approx 5 PM Thursday, "handbags and gladrags", for the 4/5th time that day.(This is a year or so ago mind, schedules will have changed)
In summation, just 'cos it broadcasts the charts doesn't make 1 better by any means. It's the station of Bass-tards, white-kids-who-wanna-be-ghetto, people who are so mortally brain damaged to think Chris Moyles is funny and 40 year old who think they're 25 (Yes, You! My Ex-Employer! This Means You, you Faith-Hill Listening PRAT!) The only things Radio 1 broadcasts to our "sceptered isle" is FAR, FAR TOO MANY BASS FREQUENCIES (is your colon vibrating yet?), the inane ravings of presenters so un-talented that no other station would touch them with a bargepole and so much Forced-Bling-Culture even this highly ecclectic listener feels like slitting my wrists to get away from it. (Nothing against people who Bling naturally, but people who put it on as a show shoud be pushed through a cheesewire mesh arse-first.)
Oh yeah, and in case anyone thinks of replying along the lines of "shuttup kid", I remember when this was all fie....er....when radio 5 played music!
Do you folks from the UK take that[BBC] media conglomerate seriously?
Well, it depends. As is being currently proved, they'll put any old tripe on the web, and as with every other news programme, the telly coverage is to be taken with a pinch of salt. however, Radio 4, whose presenters revel in tormenting politcians who won't give a straight answer is damn near 99% accuracte all the time.
I've just submitted a scathing commentary via their feedback form letting them know exactly what I think about that poorly researched article, and pointing them at Groklaw and the internetweek article with the Sophos article, with a little rant at the end say that if this is the kind of trask the beeb is going to put out, I'm going to stop paying my license fee.
Shame I couldn't find Stephen Evans email address easily, or I'd have delivered an incendiary missive straight to his inbox.
well, from what I've caught when it's run on the Beeb, they've come up with (amongst others), sunblock, clocks, radio/transmitter, a rudimentary freezer and other nifty stuff.
I'm pretty sure they'd be okay if they actually did have to rustle up food.
Also, when I took a tour of York, (abou 4/5 years ago,dunno if it's still true)it was still legal to take your thrash your wife at whipmawhopmagate. there was this big wooden....thingey for tying 'em to then...

They may have disappeared from the world itself, but there's still plenty of 'em infesting battlegrounds...
you are aware that the latest patch removed the need to have the CD in, right?
Well, well... there's a 'faithful dog' story *everywhere*, isn't there?

The duke nukem 3D CD had all 3 of the previous duke CDs on it. sort of like the baen e-book thing, now I think of it

What, you've never heard of FTPMail?
and forget-ye-not Land Of The Giants and Lost In Space, too! Woo! Bring on the giant talking carrot!
Did you never play theme park as a kid?
People in Britain _have_ been doing this for ages linky
I've also seen on tv a settee and a road-legal shed.
Go listen to some Machinae Supremacy. The track "hybrid" begins with the two samples you mentioned juxtaposed.
It's probably Ry'leh rising!
how about elephant polo?
